Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Elon Musk just added a robot to his list of things always coming 'next year.' For now he's got a guy in a suit
Founded in 2003, Tesla is an electric vehicle and clean energy company that designs and manufactures electric cars, battery energy storage, solar panels, and related products and services. The company produced over one million electric cars in 2020 alone. Now, the game-changer of the auto industry is developing a humanoid robot that will perform the work that people would least like to do. The humanoid robot is said to stand 170 cm high, weigh 57 kilos, can o carry 20 kilograms, and move as fast as 8 kilometers per hour. The company claims that the robot is an extension of the company’s self-driving vehicles as it uses the same computer chip with eight cameras, just like its vehicles. Though AI technology has improved rapidly taking a lot of human tasks, its application to robotics has been still limited to simple tasks, such as carrying goods in a factory or warehouse.
But what is the work that people would least like to do? Unpaid care or housework might be their target but some people hate grocery shopping but others love doing it.
Enjoy reading the article and learn about what a humanoid robot might be like.
