Born from the same creative discipline that drives Tesla’s development of electric vehicles, Optimus is being designed to navigate the world autonomously, handling tasks that are typically mundane or hazardous for humans. While currently lacking the sophisticated intelligence needed for independent navigation, Musk's vision for Optimus hints at a future where robots can adequately perform various jobs.
