A general purpose, bi-pedal, humanoid robot capable of performing tasks that are unsafe, repetitive or boring.


Love bots

.@elonmusk told me he plans to build “Optimus Academy” to train an army of humanoid robots. > “millions of simulated robots in the simulated world” > “tens of thousands of robots in the real world, to close the simulation to reality gap.” Why? There’s two big differences between the way Tesla will train humanoid robots and the way it built Full Self-Driving. - FSD only requires learning three degrees of freedom: turning, accelerating, braking … and a humanoid robot has to learn how to coordinate 50+ joints. - You can sell a Tesla without FSD, which allows you to collect the millions and millions of hours of driving data needed to bootstrap your model ... but you can’t sell an Optimus that hasn’t learned how to do stuff yet. The Optimus Academy is Elon’s attempt to build the data flywheel that Tesla got for free with FSD.


Human labor is one of the last bottlenecks to solve to get to unlimited economic growth. We're hiring actively across almost all Optimus teams. Optimus is one of the hardest projects to work on right now that will likely have the biggest impact on human society for the next decades to come.
