Tesla, Inc.’s Optimus — originally called the Tesla Bot — is a general‑purpose humanoid robot being developed to perform physical tasks that are repetitive, dangerous, boring, or otherwise difficult for humans.

🧠 What Is Optimus?

• Humanoid Robot: Bipedal robot with two arms, hands, legs, and sensors that enable it to walk, balance, and interact with the environment like a human.
• AI‑Powered: Uses artificial intelligence and autonomous navigation technology similar to Tesla’s self‑driving systems to perceive and adapt to its surroundings.
• General Purpose: Designed to undertake tasks that people don’t want to do — from sorting and lifting to potentially more complex chores.
