Tesla Robot
Tesla is best known for its electric vehicles, but the company is also pushing hard on a general-purpose humanoid robot designed to take over basic manual labor tasks. Currently called Optimus, the Tesla bot will sense and navigate the world using a version of Tesla's Full Self Driving computer and AI software. CEO Elon Musk believes the robots will become a far bigger product than Tesla's electric cars.
