Elon Musk envisions a future where his Optimus robot becomes a personal companion, capable of babysitting kids, teaching them, and even performing tasks like factory work. He imagines a robot that can learn from videos and execute tasks on its own, even playing the piano. With a promised “radical” increase in autonomy, Musk predicts that Optimus will be able to understand and respond to voice commands, making it a reliable and trustworthy companion. While the robot’s current capabilities fall short of its competitors, Musk’s ambitious goals suggest a future where humanoid robots like Optimus become an integral part of daily life, potentially outnumbering humans and achieving a market cap of $25 trillion.
