this is the world's first ever humanoid robot that will summit Mt. Everest it's named Pemba, and two days ago it reached the top of Chimborazo, a 20,000-foot peak in Ecuador, completely on its own (no remote or operator). and the robot itself is nothing special. Pemba is a... Unitree G1, the same ~$14k robot anyone can buy online right now. the guy behind it, Pablo Berlanga, is doing this to send robots into the places that kill people. think about how you'd check on a melting glacier or a deadly crevasse out in the middle of nowhere today. you either send a person who might not come back, or you skip it and learn nothing. so Berlanga wants a robot that walks in on its own, carries a few pounds of gear, and brings back footage from places no human can safely reach. i think eventually they'll even be used for robot rescue missions to reach people stranded in disasters and dangerous situations from here, the plan for Pemba is Mauna Kea in Hawaii, then Everest. Everest is the tricky one. the team wanted to send Pemba up this spring to start hauling trash off the mountain and tracking its glaciers (something Nepal genuinely needs help with) but the Nepalese government told them to wait. there's no law in Nepal for a climber that isn't human, so the rules have to get written before a robot can set foot on the mountain. kind of incredible that the machine is ready for Everest a full year before anyone's decided whether it's allowed to be up thereshow more

A toy robot. A home assistant. A humanoid on a factory floor. They all need the same thing: a brain. QVAC is that brain, and it runs on the robot itself. No cloud to phone, no latency, nothing leaving your home. The intelligence is on the machine, so it keeps thinking even with the internet off. The robots are coming. This is what wakes them up:

Hamster-powered robot? 🐹 A robot that looks like a hamster ball and can fly over obstacles on its own. Revolute Robotics created a machine called the Hybrid Mobility Robot. I had a chance to meet their team in Boston earlier this year. Two special rings allow this robot to roll in any direction and whirl like a helicopter. A lightweight exoskeleton absorbs shock during landing and prevents vibrations from damaging electronics. Typically, the HMR rolls on the ground, but can also fly to overcome obstacles or climb steep inclines. This robot can go places that humans might not be able to reach, including confined spaces, performing security tasks, and even performing search and rescue missions.

ELON: THINK OF TESLA AS THE WORLD’S LARGEST SEMI-SENTIENT ROBOT COMPANY “With Tesla Autopilot or full self-driving, we're effectively creating the most advanced practical AI for navigating the real world. You can always think of Tesla as the world's biggest robot company or semi-sentient robot company. The car is kind of a robot on four wheels. So then, well, you know, we could probably take that same technology and put it in a humanoid robot and have that robot be useful.” Source: Interview with the Wall Street Journal, December 2021

The robot is used to inspect the walls of ships. 🚢 The Magnet Crawler introduced by the University of Bremen is a lightweight and compact climbing robot for magnetic surfaces. The robot has two magnetic wheels driven by geared motors and an elastic tail to improve stability. In the front part of the robot, there is a miniature wireless camera. The robot is remotely teleoperated & the video signal from the camera is displayed to the operator on a portable screen. Let's wait and perhaps the robot will become more autonomous over time. Big fan of robots that make the world a safer place for humans.

Elon Musk: Humanoid Robots Could Be The Biggest Opportunity Ever Elon expanded on the massive market size for Optimus at last year's All-In Summit: "I think the useful humanoid robot opportunity is the single biggest opportunity ever." "You could expect that in high volume, sort of the million unit-plus per year level ... basically think of it like Optimus will cost less than a small car." "It's probably like $20,000 for a humanoid robot that can be your buddy, like a combination of R2-D2 and C-3PO, but better." "I think the number of robots will vastly exceed the number of humans." "Who would not want their robot buddy? Everyone wants a robot buddy." "Especially if it can take your dog for a walk. It could mow the lawn. It could watch your kids. It could teach your kids." "I think the ratio of humanoid robots to humans is gonna be at least 2-to-1, maybe 3-to-1." "Everybody will want one, and then there'll be a bunch of robots that you don't see that are making goods and services." Recorded: Sept 9, 2024 Join us in 2025:

Can United States manufacture robots? Matic Robots says "yes." It makes the best floor cleaning robot, that has won many perfect scores from Wired to many others. We love ours. But my trip there to get a tour from AI pioneer Navneet Dalal Navneet Dalal provided some real insights into how hard it is for a hardware company to make hardware in the United States. And how deeply AI is changing consumer electronics products that are going to be in many more homes soon. In this first part (Part II coming tomorrow) we get a look at how long it took for this company to go through prototypes to a shipping product. In the second part, you'll see the scaling hell that it takes to even ship a few thousand robots and the kinds of problems that scaling up a factory brings. Matic is one of my favorite small Silicon Valley companies. It has found what we call "product market fit." I just came back from CES where I saw many of its competitors, and the Matic wins because of not just the product thinking of Mehul and Navneet Dalal but because of their AI leadership. In a way their robot took many lessons from Tesla, from where to put the batteries to its bet on computer vision, which Navneet has been a pioneer in for years, working quietly behind the scenes. It is about to move into a new location that will allow it to grow to meet the demand that now is showing up (the boxes in its lobby show that it's outgrowing its current facilities). In terms of AI, it has aspirations of making a humanoid too, but it is taking a far more measured approach to getting there. By starting on the floor it can not just build world models based on real world data (customers are given a choice whether to allow its data to be used that way. Most customers choose to keep their data on the robot only, for privacy reasons, but if you opt in you can help them improve their models). They are using that data to understand homes. Navneet told me they hit very unusual situations in people's homes already that they couldn't really predict in simulators, like full-wall mirrors that confuse computer vision systems, or pools and water features in people's homes. Having real customers brings a ton of customer feedback about how to further improve the robot, and, as Navneet demonstrates in the second video, forces them to build a manufacturing muscle memory. Getting teams to work together, figuring out how to solve supply chain problems, from Trump's tarriffs, to a new one that showed up over the past couple of weeks. A supplier for its bags (one of the cheaper parts that goes into the robot) changed the glue it used, which caused robots to fail quality tests and the manufacturing line to stop. Reminds me a lot of the hell Elon Musk faced in its Fremont factory when Tesla was first starting to manufacture its Model 3, which almost bankrupted the company. Off the record Mehul and Navneet 🇮🇳 showed me some of the prototypes and plans for its next products that will show up over the next few years. Certainly not as sexy as Tesla, Figure, 1x_tech, and all the Chinese manufacturers are showing off already, but far better thought out for the typical Western home and AI plays a huge role in its future. It is the product that speaks for itself. It's amazing, and is about to get better this year due to AI. It's the first real vision-only robot to be in my home and I bet it won't be the last from this company. Real honor that they invited me over with my Insta360 camera (another company launched in my home, just like Matic was last year). In Part II we go into the factory.

Elon Musk on Optimus: "Everything in the Optimus robot is designed from Physics First Principles. Its not taken from a catalog. These are custom designed. Everything, literally everything. Optimus is designed to have a lot of intelligence and to have the same electromechanical dexterity, if not higher than a human. It's quite a big robot because it has to carry heavy objects for long periods of time and not overheat or exceed the power of its actuators. It's 5 11, so it's pretty tall and it's got a lot of intelligence. So it's going to be more expensive than a small robot that is not. Over time as Optimus robots build Optimus robots, the cost will drop very quickly."

🤯incredible,its playability and usability are outstanding. Tron2 is a LEGO robot. It can be assembled into various forms depending on the scenario, including bipedal, wheeled, and humanoid torso configurations, and its end effectors are also interchangeable. Each form of the robot is driven by a VLA model. It can perform complex movements and can also be integrated into existing workflows to perform tasks. It's worth mentioning that this solves the problem of which type of humanoid robot to use. Each user can assemble the robot in a configuration that suits their specific scenario, making it truly flexible and versatile – it doesn't necessarily have to be bipedal or wheeled... I look forward to seeing more real-world use cases.

The future of home cleaning just landed in Shenzhen and it is walking right into your living room. 🤖🏠 X Square Robot and officially launched China’s first robot home service, moving embodied AI from the lab to your front door. When you book a cleaning on the app, a professional cleaner now shows up with an X Square robot partner to tag team the house. The human handles the tricky stuff that needs real judgment while the robot takes over repetitive tasks like wiping tables and tidying up surfaces. X Square is using an end to end foundation model which means the robot actually perceives and plans its own moves instead of just following a script. By testing in the messy reality of a real home, they are proving that if a robot can master a living room, it can handle almost any physical space. This pilot is part of a massive push to turn these machines into reliable partners that can actually assist in our daily lives.

Some thoughts about this and essentially leaving people on the mountain and not saving them. Everest is tricky regarding helping people who are stuck and can't walk any longer. It's not about not helping them because you won't summit, It's about not helping them because you'll both die. A lot of time spent on Everest, you're essentially dying. At around 8,000 meters, you reach what's called the death zone. So if summitting from the Nepal side, that'd be Camp IV/South Col. When you cross that, you can no longer acclimatize because of the lack of oxygen. Even sherpas who have been born into these high altitudes struggle. Yes, oxygen tanks help, and sherpas will stash some for you, but ounces truly equal lbs up there. You have a short window to summit, based on predicted weather, and you shoot your shot and pray the weather holds. Even under ideal weather conditions, it can be a nightmare because the mountain has become a tourist attraction. It's no longer just skilled climbers trying to summit. It's people with money who didn't know how to use crampons before arriving at basecamp. You can die on the mountain because of a traffic jam from everyone taking their summit shot during the same window. At these heights, with your body shutting down already, how do you expect someone to carry another grown man down the mountain? Someone who can barely move from hypoxia and is oftentimes not even in the right frame of mind. You have around 20 hours WITH oxygen in the death zone before you die. Most deaths on the mountain happen during the descent, too. At that altitude, your decision making isn't the best either due to the lack of oxygen. You're just not getting someone off the mountain in almost all cases. Rarely, but it happens, a sherpa might accomplish it. It's not about missing the summit, it's about not becoming another brightly colored jacket icicle on the way to the summit. When you agree to go up that high, you agree that you're willing to die for it. You understand that no one is coming to save you, and that's the true price of admission .

Tesla's Chief Designer Franz on Optimus: "It's going to be huge piece of Tesla, a huge piece in our world, as we look into the future, the ability to take menial tasks and things that you don't necessarily want to do and have them uploaded to somebody, a human, that can do that. We've been designing the robot that really looks at how humans work in the world. This world is designed around humans, and so I think having a robot that can do the things that humans can do can really start to take those menial tasks away and enrich in our lives, make our lives better we get to spend more time doing the things that we love. It's been incredibly fast paced, but the progress is, like, unbelievable in the short amount of time that the team has been working on it, and we've been growing the team and building the project the same time. I think we're breaking ground in this space everyday. The team is really energized and fired out. Elon Musk is incredibly involved in this. It's a great project to be a part of, and seeing where the future is gonna go and how it's going to enrich our lives is super exciting."

Elon Musk: As we advance the Neuralink devices, you should be able to actually have full body control and sensors from an Optimus robot So you could basically inhibit an Optimus robot. It's not just the hand, but the whole thing. So you could like basically mentally remote into an Optimus robot and be kind of cool. The future is gonna be weird, but pretty cool And then another thing that could be done also is like for people that have say lost a limb, lost an arm or leg or something like that, then we think in the future we'll be able to attach an Optimus arm or legs and so you kind of like I remember that scene from a Star Wars where Luke Skywalker gets his hand, you know, chopped off with a lightsaber and he gets kind of a robot hand And I think that's the kind of thing that we'll be able to do in the future working with Neuralink and Tesla. So it goes far beyond just operating a robot hand, but replacing limbs and having kind of a whole body robot experience. And then I think another thing that will be possible like I think it's very likely in the future is to be able to bridge the where the damaged neurons So you can take the signal from the brain and and transmit that signal past where the neurons are damaged or strained to the rest of the body, so you could reanimate the body. So that if you have a Neuralink implant in the brain and then one in the spinal cord, then you can actually bridge the signals and you could walk again and have full body functionality Obviously that's what people would prefer. To be clear, we realize that would be the preferred outcome. And so that even if you have a broken neck, you could still we believe I'm actually at this point I'd say fairly confident that at some point in the future we'll be able to restore full body functionality

ELON: EVERYONE ON EARTH WILL WANT THEIR OWN ROBOT “My prediction is the robots will actually make so many robots and AI that they will actually saturate all human needs, meaning you won't be able to even think of something to ask the robot for at a certain point. There'll be more robots than people. I think everyone on Earth is going to have one and going to want one, because who wouldn't want a robot to, assuming it's very safe, watch over your kids, take care of your pet. If you have elderly parents, it's very difficult to take care of them. It's expensive, and there just aren't enough young people to take care of the old people. If you had a robot that could take care of and protect an elderly parent, I think that would be great. That would be an amazing thing to have. And I think we will have those things.” Source: Elon Musk Interview at WEF, January 2026

If you had a robot that could take care of and protect an elderly parent, I think that would be great. That would be an amazing thing to have. And I think we will have those things.” Source: Elon Musk Interview at WEF, January 2026

CHAMATH: ELON IS BUILDING THE MOST POWERFUL AI STACK ON EARTH “They are the closest to having that vertically integrated stack that I spoke about. I think that Tesla has the best vision models now; with xAI, they'll have one of the best LLMs and reasoning models, and they'll be able to eventually stick that on Dojo. And then that will be in all of the physical AI that you will interact with in your daily life; whether it's a robot, or whether it's a car, or whether it's a Robotaxi.” Source: The All-In Podcast, Chamath Palihapitiya, @jason

FULL TRANSCRIPT OF ELON'S CYBERCAB AND ROBOVAN PRESENTATION 00:00 Welcome 01:16 Cybercab & Future of transportation 04:33 Cost 05:53 Timeline 07:13 Self-driving technology 10:05 Inductive charging 10:24 The cities of the future 11:04 Robovan 12:13 Optimus Welcome Welcome to the We, Robot party. We have quite a show for you tonight. I think you're going to like it. As you can see, I just arrived in the Robotaxi, the Cybercab. And there's 20 more where that came from. So they've been traveling, there's no people in them. As you can see, the car is just going by with no people. We have 50 fully autonomous cars here tonight. So you'll see model Y's and the Cybercabs, all driverless. You'll be able to take a ride in the Cybercab. There's no steering wheel or pedals. So I hope this goes well, we'll find out. You see a lot of sci-fi movies where the future is dark and dismal, where it's not a future you want to be in. So, you know, I love Blade Runner, but I don't know if we want that future. We want that duster he's wearing, but not the bleak apocalypse. We want to have a fun, exciting future that, if you could look in a crystal ball and see the future, you'd be like, yes, I wish I could be there now. That's what we want. Cybercab & Future of transportation So, when we think about transport today, there's a lot of pain that we take for granted, that we think is normal. Like having to drive around LA in 3 hours of traffic. Yeah, people that live in LA, I mean, you know, try to get from Pasadena to El Segundo during rush hour. You can fly to another city faster than you can get to LA. And you have to drive the whole way, unless you're in a Tesla. Of course, our Tesla already does quite well at this supervised self-driving. So, supervised full self-driving is actually working quite well. I'm sure there's people in the crowd who are using that. So, we'll move from supervised full self-driving to unsupervised full self-driving where the car, you could fall asleep and wake up at your destination. But there's also a challenge for a lot of people that cars cost too much. I mean, when you factor in everything that goes into a car and the car insurance and the car payments, storage of the car, it's very expensive. You say, like, how many hours a week are cars used? Your average passenger car is only used about 10 hours a week out of 168 hours. So, the vast majority of the time cars are just doing nothing. But if they're autonomous, they could be used, I don't know, five times more, maybe ten times more. So you could actually, for the same car, would have five times as much value, maybe ten times as much value. There's 168 hours in the week, and like I said, only ten of them are used for driving. And then, a bunch of those hours are looking for a parking spot, which can be pretty annoying at times. So, with autonomy, you get your time back. This is a very big deal. So it's not just, it'll save lives, like a lot of lives and prevent injuries. I think we'll see autonomous cars become ten times safer than a human. I mean, if you think of times past where there used to be an elevator operator in every elevator but once in a while, they get tired and accidentally shear somebody in half. Now, we have automated elevators. You just get an elevator and you press a button and you don't even think about it and it just takes you to the floor. And if you did see an elevator operator with a big relay switch, you'd be like, that's weird. That's how cars will be. And it's not just the lives saved in injuries, but if you think about the cumulative time that people spend in a car and the time that they will get back that they can now spend, well, I guess, on their phones or watching a movie or doing work or whatever you want to do you can think of the car in autonomous world as being like just little lounge. You're just sitting in a comfortable little lounge and you can do whatever you want while you're in this comfortable little lounge. And when you get out, you will be at your destination. So, yeah, it's gonna be awesome. Cost So, in fact, I think the cost of autonomous transport will be so low that you can think of it like individualized mass transit. The average cost of a bus per mile for a city, not the ticket price, because that is subsidized, but the average price is about a dollar a mile, whereas the cost of Cybercab we think probably over time, the operating cost is probably going to be around twenty cents a mile. Including taxes and everything else, it probably ends up being 30 or 40 cents a mile. And you will be able to buy one. And we expect the cost to be below $30,000. And I think there'll be an interesting business model where, let's say somebody is an Uber or Lyft driver today where they can actually sort of manage a fleet of cars and like, sort of manage, I don't know, 10, 20 cars and just take care of them. Like a shepherd tends their flock. You have a little flock of cars and you're the shepherd and you take care of your flock of cars. I think that would be pretty cool. I think it's going to be a glorious future. It's going to be really something special. Timeline We do expect actually to start fully autonomous unsupervised FSD in Texas and California next year. And that's obviously, that's with the Model 3 and Model Y. And then we expect to be in production with the Cybercab, which is really highly optimized for autonomous transport in probably, I tend to be a little optimistic with time frames, but in 2026. So, yeah, before 2027, let me put it that way. And we'll make this vehicle in very high volume. But well, before that, you will experience a robotic taxi via the Model 3 and Model Y program and model S and X, too. But the Model 3 and Y will achieve unsupervised full self-driving with permission, in wherever regulators essentially approve it. In the US, and then to follow outside the US. And Cybertruck, too. All our cars are basically, all cars that we make. Let's not get nuanced here. Self-driving technology One of the reasons why the computer can be so much better than a person is that we have millions of cars that are training on driving. It's like living millions of lives simultaneously and seeing very unusual situations that a person in their entire lifetime would not see. With that amount of training data, it's obviously going to be much better than what a human could be because you can't live a million lives. And it's also, it can see in all directions simultaneously and it doesn't get tired or text or any of those things. So, it will naturally be, like I said 10, 20, 30 times safer than a human, just for all those reasons. And I want to emphasize that the solution that we have is, AI and vision. So, there's no expensive equipment needed. The Model 3 and Model Y and S and X that we make today will be capable of full autonomy, unsupervised. And that means that our cost of producing the vehicle is low. Now, we are going to actually over-spec the computer for the Cybercab. So, our AI 5 computer will be somewhat over-spec'd because I think there's actually also an opportunity, sort of like an Amazon Web Services, where if the car is driving for 50 hours a week, there's still over 100 hours left and there's a potential there to have a massive amount of distributed inference compute, where if you've got like a fleet of 100 million vehicles and a kilowatt of efficient inference compute, you have 100 gigawatts of compute, which is really quite substantial. And if it's there, you might as well use it so that I think will make sense. So, our autonomous future is here. As I said, we've got 50 Teslas driving autonomously. We're trying to give you a sense of what cities will be like in the future. And when you get in, you'll see like, it's really quite a wild experience to just be in a car with no steering wheel, no pedals, no controls, and it feels great. So we have enough vehicles here, so everyone should be able to try it out and experience the set that we've built here. It's a very big set. So it's like really we've used I don't know, 20, 30 acres or something like that. It's really big. So, it goes on, the ride's long. And we set it up to feel like a ride, like a park ride. So, it'll be cool and you'll get to experience it tonight. Inductive charging Something we're also doing is and it's really high time we did this is inductive charging. So, the robotaxi has no plug. It just goes over the inductive charger and charges. So, yeah, it's kind of how it should be. The cities of the future One of the things that is really interesting is how will this affect the cities that we live in. And when you drive around a city, or when the car drives you around the city, you'll see there's a lot of parking lots. There's parking lots everywhere, parking garages. What would happen if you have an autonomous world is that you can now turn parking lots into parks. And so, from we're taking the inglot out of parking lot. You're welcome. So, there's a lot of opportunity to create green space in the cities that we live in. So, like, that would be quite fantastic. Robovan Oh, and also, what happens if you need a vehicle that is bigger than a Model Y? The Robovan. We're going to make this and it's going to look like that. Now, can you imagine going down the streets and you see this coming towards you? That'd be sick. So this can carry up to 20 people, and it can also transport goods. You can configure it for goods transport within a city. Or transport of up to 20 people at a time. The Robovan is what's gonna solve for high density. If you want to take a sports team somewhere or you're looking to really get the cost of travel down to, I don't know, 5, 10 cents a mile, then you can use the Robovan. One of the things we want to do, and we've seen this with the Cybertruck, is we want to change the look of the roads. The future should look like the future. Optimus Speaking of robots. Everything we've developed for our cars, the batteries, power electronics, the advanced motors, gearboxes, the software, the AI inference computer, it all actually applies to a humanoid robot. The same techniques. It's just a robot with arms and legs instead of a robot with wheels. We've made a lot of progress with Optimus. And as you can see, we started up with someone in a robot suit. And then, we've progressed dramatically, year after year. So, if you extrapolate this, you're really going to have something spectacular, something that anyone could own. So, you can have your own personal R2-D2-C3PO. And I think at scale, this would cost something like, I don't know, $20,000, $30,000, probably less than a car is my prediction, long-term. It'll take us a minute to get to the long term. But fundamentally, at scale, the Optimus robot, you should be able to buy an Optimus robot for, I think, probably $20,000 to $30,000, long-term. And what can it do? It'll basically do anything you want. It can be a teacher or babysit your kids, it can walk your dog, mow your lawn, get the groceries, just be your friend, serve drinks whatever you can think of, it will do. And, yeah, it's going to be awesome. I think this will be the biggest product ever of any kind, because I think everyone of the 8 billion people of Earth, I think everyone's going to want their Optimus buddy. And there's going to be maybe two. And then, they'll be producing products and services. I predict, actually, provided we address risks of digital superintelligence, 80% probability of good outcome, look on the bright side, the cup is 80% full, the cost of products and services will decline dramatically. And basically, anyone will be able to have any products and services they want. It will be an age of abundance the likes of which people have not, almost no one has envisioned. It will be something special. So now, one of the things we wanted to show tonight was that Optimus is not a canned video. It's not walled off. The Optimus robots will walk among you. Please, please be nice to the Optimus robots. You'll be able to walk right up to them and they'll serve drinks at the bar. I mean, it's a wild experience just to have humanoid robots and they're there, you're just in front of you. So yeah, with that, let's party!

The First “Killer Robot” ever seen. Mechanical Man (1921) is an Italian science fiction film from the silent era. It is an interesting and rare film. It prominently features a robot as it's primary antagonist, or at least as a part of the primary antagonist. The robot is controlled remotely by a nefarious operator. At the end of the film she is defeated when she is separated from the remote control. While this movie may have the first killer robot on film. The debate on the first movie robot is a difficult one to put to rest. If the definition of a robot is stretched much earlier movies feature some kind of artificially intelligent machine. There are also a few lost serials and films which featured some kind of robotic creature from the 1910s, I have found a source I am investigating for these films.

Just a little taste of the Robohacks hackathon happening now at Y Combinator in San Francisco. This is only two of the teams. The first is a team building a robot for an AirBnb on Mars. The second built a system that 3D prints new tools for the robot to do new work on Mars. Both demonstrate why I love builders so much. Dreaming of a new world and learning together how to build for a new robot none of them have used before.

ELON MUSK: "We’ll probably unveil Optimus Gen 3 in a few months. I think it’s going to be quite surprising to people it’s an incredibly capable robot We are replacing the SX line in Fremont with a million-unit-per-year line for Optimus Because it is a completely new supply chain, there’s really nothing from existing supply chains that exists in Optimus; everything is designed from physics first principles The normal S-curve of manufacturing ramp will be longer for Optimus than it is for products that have at least some portion of an existing supply chain The production rate will be proportionate to the least lucky, least confident part of the entire supply chain Optimus 3 will be a general-purpose robot that can learn by observing human behavior. You can demonstrate a task, verbally describe it, or show it a video, and it will be able to perform that task. It’s going to be a very capable robot."
