For many years now, humans have been obsessed with robots and the potential they have. A large part of this is that they are a reality that is very limited to certain actions and tasks, but with constant technological advancement and development, the capabilities of these machines multiply and become more and more similar to those of people.
There are several robots that are known for their advanced capabilities, such as the one from Boston Dynamics, but possibly the one that has the most media attention It is Tesla’s humanoid robot Optimusdue to how it is designed to resemble a person physically which helps it to being able to perform tasks in a manner almost identical to a human.
Although it is true that it has been about a month, fWe were deceived by Musk during the autonomous taxi event, Cybercab, from Tesla, where the company showed the advances of this robot and made us believe that it was all powered by Artificial Intelligence, but it was later discovered that it was actually controlled by a person in the distance.
This was a huge disappointment for the attendees and all those interested in this type of technology, and Musk has been inflating his robot for a long time, praising all its functionalities and announcing that When it hits the market it could cost between $20,000 and $30,000.
In fact, not long ago he recognized that many of the Optimus videos that Tesla had released were misleading because they showed actions and capabilities that this robot did not actually have yet.
Now, as reported by The Verge, with Black Friday and Christmas approaching, Tesla has brought out the sale on Tesla Bot Action Figurewhich is the first version of Optimus released for salebut with the great drawback that Instead of a robot, it is a toy of only 18.2 centimeters.
This collectible figure is made up of more than 40 pieces and offers up to 20 points of articulation to give this toy the ability to move. Without a doubt this It is a great disappointment, since everyone expected that the first version of this robot to come out would be a real one and not a little toy that you can buy for 40 dollars (about 37.5 euros in exchange).
