L’intermission – Tesla Bot

Optimus Subprime

The world of technology is expanding exponentially, and Optimus, or Optimus Subprime, is leading the pack. “The initial purpose is to make it useful,” says Tesla CEO Elon Musk of his company’s latest rollout. The robot is designed to handle the monotonous, repetitive activities people don’t typically enjoy, like cleaning. Dojo supercomputers allow the bot to respond to new environments using only vision—with the same speed and acuity as a human.
