The Tesla Bot is a humanoid robot being developed by Tesla, Inc. It aims to perform repetitive or dangerous tasks typically done by humans. Equipped with AI capabilities and advanced sensors, it will navigate environments, interact with objects, and respond to commands. The Tesla Bot is designed to free up humans for more creative and fulfilling work.

Figure 1 shows the Tesla bot. Tesla bot update video shows its Tesla Bots now slowly walking forward without stumbling. In addition, they're also seen performing tasks like picking up objects.

Tesla’s Bot, which is designed as a humanoid robot, was originally revealed last year at the company’s AI Day event. At the time, Tesla could only show a deconstructed version of the bot that robot could barely walk forward, let alone perform any manual labor on stage. A version that was supposed to be closer to a production model was shown but was held up by a stand and could only wave to the audience. Now, Tesla is showing robots more like that model but moving around independently, if a bit slowly. [1]

Some of the updates to the Tesla Bot include motor torque control, environment discovery and memorization, along with AI training for human-tracked movements, and manipulating objects. [2]

In the clip, you can also see one Tesla Bot picking up objects from one container and putting it into another. This was made possible by training the robot's AI via a human demonstration, as shown in the video. [2]

While it's good to see that Tesla Bot is slowly but surely evolving, it appears that in classic Tesla style, it could take a longer time that the envisioned timeline. The company will begin production of the Tesla Bot sometime after the company delivers its first long-awaited Cybertrucks. [2]
