Tesla has been thinking since the launch of Tesla Bot that they will be a replacement for the human workforce, which tesla believes is the foundation of any economy, that Tesla Bot will alleviate labor shortages due to a sharp drop in the birth rate, and that this humanoid robot can also be a "continuation" of a person by uploading his/her identity traits (can you imagine one day being able to upload the capabilities of the human brain to Optimus??? ）。
In an interview with German journalist Matthias Dovner, Elon Musk said: "Most people in the world have a misconception that our population is too large, but in fact this understanding is wrong, the birth rate is already falling madly", and as the population declines, the world will face a labor shortage in the future (the basis of any economy is labor, if no one works, it will collapse).
So another way of robotics, humanoid robots are on the rise, Tesla Bot is going to be a general-purpose robot, a humanoid robot, and a kind of working robot whose initial task is repetitive, boring, or dangerous work (basically work that people don't want to do), but if you want a robot that can adapt to the environment and do the same thing as humans, it should be about the same size, shape, and ability as we humans.
According to the rough forecast of Tesla's head, although Tesla Bot was proposed in 2021, they can be ready by the end of 2022 and can be mass-produced by the end of 2023.
I still remember what Musk said before: Now our memories can be stored in our mobile phones and computers through photos and videos, computers and telephones are also expanding human communication, and now technology has made it possible to gradually make things that were once considered magical, today, two people from anywhere in the world can talk to each other through video links, it can be said that we have now greatly expanded our brains with computers, but if we calculate the way we calculate numbers further, Dividing the calculated share by the biologically calculated share, we will find an interesting relationship and how this ratio changes over time... Maybe Musk is talking about something to do with this Tesla Bot he did
