Tesla Optimus robots were all remotely controlled by humans at "We, Robot" event

Tesla's robots at the event were human-controlled, highlighting development challenges.

: Tesla's 'We, Robot' event featured the Optimus robots, which were controlled by humans. Despite their impressive interactions, this revealed the current limitations of Tesla's robotics program. Elon Musk aims for production by 2025, intending over 1,000 robots in factories. The event suggests autonomous capabilities are still developing.

The 'We, Robot' event hosted by Tesla displayed the company's efforts in autonomous technology. However, the Optimus robots, which engaged with guests and performed various tasks, were actually being operated by humans behind the scenes. This detail was confirmed through interactions with attendees and shared on social media.

Robert Scoble, an AI enthusiast, attended and initially captivated audiences with videos of the robots. He later clarified that the robots were 'remote assisted' by humans. This revelation posed questions about the present state and capabilities of Tesla's humanoid robotics program, showcasing the complexity in achieving full autonomy.

Elon Musk has high hopes for Optimus, envisioning it as a companion and helper with unique personalities. Musk targets a limited rollout by 2025, with aspirations for over 1,000 operational units in Tesla facilities. However, the event indicated significant reliance on human control, suggesting prolonged development for autonomous robots.
