They don’t have the physical appearance of C-3PO, but they look like one in attitude. During a show organized in Los Angeles this Thursday, October 10, American billionaire Elon Musk paraded humanoid robots called Optimus which he presented as “the greatest product of all time”.
Remember, Bumble C, a first prototype of a humanoid robot in the same range, made a very notable debut on stage during Tesla’s back-to-school conference in October 2022.
Capable of mimicking human movements and gestures to perfection, they served drinks, distributed gift bags and even played rock-paper-scissors with the guests during the event.

Although it is not yet fully developed, the Tesla boss hopes to make his product a household helper in homes. In a promotional video, we see an Optimus robot performing several domestic tasks.
He is particularly capable of watering the plants, cleaning, helping to put away groceries, serving at the table, but he is also capable of participating in family board game evenings. A real additional presence. Elon Musk even insinuated that Optimus could be “just your friend.”
With an estimated cost of between 20,000 and 30,000 dollars, or approximately 18,300 and 27,500 euros, Tesla has not revealed a launch date. In 2022, they nevertheless previewed the commercialization of this humanoid between 2025 and 2027.
