<p>Tesla CEO Elon Musk unveiled a new humanoid robot on Friday, called the Tesla Bot.</p>.<p>The Bot, Musk described, is built on the same technology as the company's semi-autonomous vehicles. "Tesla is arguably the world's biggest robotics company because our cars are semi-sentient robots on wheels, it kind of makes sense to put those in a humanoid form", he said.</p>.<p>The prototype is aimed to be available next year.</p>.<p><strong>Read more: <a href="https://www.deccanherald.com/business/technology/tesla-unveils-own-chip-for-ai-training-computer-dojo-1021605.html" target="_blank">Tesla unveils own chip for AI training computer Dojo</a></strong></p>.<p>The bot is designed to navigate through a "world built by humans, for humans", be friendly and "eliminate dangerous, repetitive and boring tasks".</p>.<p>Physically, the bot is 5 feet 8 inches tall, can carry up to 20.4 kg, weighs 56 kg, can deadlift 68 kg, and has a movement speed of 8 kmph.</p>.<p>Joking about the design, Musk said they are building it such that a person "can run away from it and most likely overpower it".</p>.<p>"Hopefully that won't happen, but you never know," he said.</p>.<p>Mechanically, the Bot is made of unspecified "lightweight materials", has a screen to display useful information where the face would be, has 40 electromechanical actuators to enable smooth movement, and "human-level" hands.</p>.<p>It also has an onboard FSD computer with all the tools the company uses for its cars like neural net planning, FSD hardware, and Dojo training, along with autopilot cameras.</p>.<p>Speaking about the possible effects of the Tesla Bot on the economy, which he reasoned was built on labour, Musk said "essentially, the future of physical work <a href="https://www.deccanherald.com/business/elon-musk-says-teslas-robot-will-make-physical-work-a-choice-1021678.html" target="_blank">will be a choice</a>.
