According to Elon Musk, the same technology he used for his automatic cars were used for Optimus, but this time, he replaced the wheels with android arms, legs, and joints. In the video released on their official X account saw the robot singing a happy birthday song with present customers and fans, watering plants, serving food, scrubbing the floor, collecting mail, playing with children, and many more.
“You’re going to have something spectacular, something that anyone can own. You can have your own R2-D2/C3PO.”, Elon Musk said.
