it home reported on september 4 that the 2024 inclusion·bund conference will be held at the shanghai huangpu expo park from september 5 to september 7. tesla said that it will bring its latest hardcore products, the cybertruck cyber off-road travel vehicle and the optimus humanoid robot, to the event.

tesla said its goal is to significantly reduce the cost of robots from hundreds of thousands of dollars to $10,000 or $20,000. this requires continuous innovation in manufacturing. currently, tesla is rising to the challenge. tesla expects to start limited production of humanoid robots next year, with more than 1,000 optimus robots helping humans complete production tasks in tesla factories.

in fact, musk has previously stated that tesla will produce "really useful" robots for internal use within the company next year, but it will only be produced on a small scale. however, it is expected to mass-produce humanoid robots for use by other companies in 2026.

tesla's second-generation humanoid robot optimus was unveiled during the 2024 world artificial intelligence conference held on july 4 this year. the product was first released on december 13 last year. compared with the previous generation, its improvements include the following aspects:

it uses actuators and sensors that are all designed and manufactured by tesla.

the overall appearance design is more refined;

walking speed increased by 30%;

the weight has been reduced by 10 kg, while the sense of balance and body control have been improved. the video demonstrates the action of doing squats;

equipped with brand new hands, it can grasp heavier objects and perform more delicate operations.

recently, the second-generation optimus has been trying to "work" in tesla's factory. with the help of visual neural networks and fsd chips, the second-generation optimus can imitate human operations and conduct battery sorting training.

musk announced at the shareholders' meeting in june that he would bet tesla's future on the optimus robot project. the current humanoid robot market produces 1 billion units per year, and tesla will occupy at least 10% of the market share in the future.

musk said at the time that tesla would make $1 trillion in profits by mass-producing robots at a price of about $10,000 each and selling them at $20,000 (it home note: currently about 142,000 rmb). in addition, musk believes that by 2026, optimus will be a fully software-customized robot.
