On December 30, in an interview with robotics scientist Lex Friedman, Musk said that tesla robots will not just be a humanoid robot that can complete repetitive tasks, it may develop its own unique personality and become a human partner. Tesla robots could become human companions like C3PO( the ceremonial robot in Star Wars), he said.
Musk unveiled Tesla's robotics plans earlier this year. It is a humanoid robot that can complete repetitive tasks and help solve the labor shortage. Asked in an interview if he was considering making Tesla robots human partners (such as assistants or friends), Musk replied, "I think there are endless possibilities, and developing a humanoid robot that can interact with the outside world and help humans in many ways makes a lot of sense for the world."
Musk said, "Over time, Tesla robots will develop their own personalities and will not be as cookie-cutter as other robots." Its personality matches the user. Fredman suggested that Tesla robots that can alleviate human loneliness will face "great opportunities." Musk did not disclose the exact time of the Launch sale of Tesla's robots in the interview, but said that he expected "a good prototype product to be developed before the end of next year."
To be honest, when I saw this news, I felt both excited and scared. Excited that I might have a friend who matched my personality very well, wouldn't be guarding the empty house when I got home, and scared about how I should treat it and how to limit it.
