Tesla's robot waves its arms but can't walk yet

Tesla CEO Elon Musk presented a model of a humanoid robot called Optimus. Musk said the world's largest electric vehicle maker could produce millions of units and sell them for up to $20,000, which would be within a third of the cost of the electric vehicle itself.

Tesla plans to accept orders for the android robot in three to five years, as well as the excess of income from its release over income from the production of Tesla cars, Musk said.

The test robot, created in February, was presented to the public on Friday. The company presented a video showing the robot performing simple tasks, including watering flowers, lifting and transporting boxes, as well as metal beams and structures at the company's production facilities.

As Elon Musk stated, it will take a lot of work to improve the robot, and also added that he expects Optimus to be amazing in 5 or 10 years.

Tesla is unique in its advancement of the robot market opportunity for the mass market.

Elon Musk said the company is looking to find the fastest route to a useful robot that can be produced in large volumes.
