Tesla boss Elon Musk said on an earnings call that Tesla will not launch any new models in 2022. It could be a year without expectations for fans. But Musk will not stand still, the core of autonomous driving is artificial intelligence, Lanyu Culture Industrial Tourism Design Institute learned that before the Tesla AI Day, Elon Musk said that the company may launch a prototype of the humanoid robot Tesla robot sometime next year.
At the start of the year, he told investors on a Tesla earnings call that his emerging robotics program "could be more important than the automotive business over time." They will be Tesla's most important jobs of the year. Musk said at an event last August that tesla bots will use the same artificial intelligence (AI) system as Tesla cars, but have not yet made a prototype.
At a conference last year, people were drawn to a man in a Tesla robot uniform. Musk said: "Tesla robots will be real." Musk detailed some of the tasks the robot will be able to accomplish, including running grocery stores, picking up household items and other daily commands.
Musk said that although there is "no shortage of labor" in the future, manual labor will be "an option." Robots are increasingly used in factories around the world, and according to the International Federation of Robotics, there are currently 126 robots in the manufacturing industry on average every 10,000 employees.
The Tesla robot is 1.72 meters tall and weighs 56.6 kilograms, and the robot's face has a screen to display useful information. In addition, it will have human-level hands. The limbs are operated using 40 electromechanical pushers, have two feet, and have powerful feedback sensing for balanced and agile movements.
Musk, who has publicly spoken about his fear of runaway AI, said Tesla robots are "friendly," but Tesla designs the robot on a "mechanical level" so that "you can run away from it and most likely subdue it." These robots will be designed to handle "unsafe, repetitive or boring tasks."
Tesla robots will also take advantage of some of the artificial intelligence devices used in the company's cars. Self-driving cameras will act as vision for Tesla robots, while fully self-driving computers will act as internal organs of robots so that robots are expected to operate as a production member of the family. The robot uses a multi-camera video neural network, the same as detailed during the company's AI campaign. In addition, neural network programming, labeling, simulations, and tools will also be used to help Tesla robots operate effectively and efficiently while performing tasks accurately.
Robots are actually a very complex system, and achieving some of the functions that are similar to those of humans requires a lot of elaborate design and manufacturing. To this end, Lanyu Cultural Industrial Tourism Design Institute has specially found a robot production introduction for everyone.
Ameca robots come from the British company Engineered Arts, why does such a gray-skinned robot look more realistic than those with real skins?
To explain this, the YouTube WIRED channel came to its design company and asked the CEO to analyze Ameca's design philosophy.
He explains: "Because our designs do not seek similarities in appearance, but focus more on showing the essence of human activity" In practical applications, it is like when smiling, not only the corners of the mouth and eyes have to move, but even the various folds of the facial skin are restored; or when someone approaches, not only do they gradually focus their eyes like people, but also make expressions of surprise and disgust. In order to achieve these functions, this Ameca robot has a full 45 motors on the face alone:
The progress of any technology really requires continuous progress and self-denial, and to this day, there is still a big gap between robots and robots we imagine, but these gaps are shrinking little by little... Whether Musk can create miracles here and promote the research and development process of robots, we wait and see.
