is unveiled before moving its hands and then taking its first steps to rabid applause from those watching<\/p>\n<p>As part of Tesla&#8217;s AI Day 2022, Elon Musk unveiled an early prototype of Optimus, although this couldn&#8217;t do much more than walk across the stage and wave, while a newer version of the bot still had to be carried off stage by Tesla staff.<\/p>\n<p>It appears that the announcement was aimed at boosting a hiring drive for Tesla&#8217;s bot division as the video was accompanied by a call to &#8216;come join to help develop Optimus&#8217; and to &#8216;improve its yoga routine&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>A link to Tesla&#8217;s job page on Tesla Optimus&#8217; profile shows advertisements for almost 100 available roles working on developing robots.<\/p>\n<p>The robot also displays impressive software advancements from previous updates as Tesla Optimus&#8217;s official account announced that it can now &#8216;self-calibrate&#8217; using only vision and &#8216;joint position encoders&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>This means that Optimus can look to see where its arms and legs are in space, learning how to accurately carry out tasks on the fly.<\/p>\n<p>Optimus puts this calibration into practice sorting coloured blocks into different trays, working quickly even as a researcher knocks the blocks out of the robot&#8217;s way.<\/p>\n<p>This kind of simple sorting is a key step towards Tesla&#8217;s official mission to create a &#8216;general purpose, bi-pedal, autonomous humanoid robot capable of performing unsafe, repetitive or boring tasks&#8217; such as factory work.<\/p>\n<p>Elon Musk has previously said that the robot could be sold on the market for as little as $20,000 meaning that future iterations of Optimus could work across warehouses and factories as a cheap alternative to human workers.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/25\/14\/75807597-12557737-Optimus_demonstrated_flexibility_and_balance_that_would_put_many-a-59_1695648197529.jpg\" height=\"599\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Optimus demonstrated flexibility and balance that would put many humans to shame as it moved through some basic yoga poses<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/25\/14\/75811165-12557737-Writing_on_X_Dr_Jim_Fan_senior_AI_Scientist_at_NVIDIA_speculated-a-62_1695648271227.jpg\" height=\"296\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Writing on X, Dr Jim Fan, senior AI Scientist at NVIDIA, speculated that Optimus&#8217;

AI is trained fully &#8216;end-to-end&#8217;, meaning it can go directly from the visual information to deciding how to move its limbs.<\/p>\n<p>Writing on X, Dr Jim Fan, senior AI Scientist at NVIDIA, speculated that Optimus&#8217; smooth hand movements were &#8216;almost certainly&#8217; trained by imitating the behaviour of human operators.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Fan explained that this could have been done with demonstrators wearing a motion capture glove just like those used in Hollywood movies or by creating a &#8216;VR game&#8217;
