A few days ago, Tesla also showed the latest version of the Optimus humanoid robot at the glittering unveiling ceremony of the Cybercube car. These robots roamed the crowd, served drinks to guests, played games with them, and even danced inside the gazebo. However, the most surprising thing was their ability to speak. However, we now know that much of the show was just for fun and was remotely controlled.
Watching the videos released from Tesla’s recent event, it is easy to understand that Optimus’ movements are not automatic. As Jalopnik points out, if this robot were truly fully autonomous and could respond to audio and visual cues in real-time and speak one-on-one with human attendees in dimly lit environments, it would certainly be an amazing technological leap.

Tesla doesn’t seem to have made any effort to insinuate that the Optimus robots are operating autonomously. In another video, one of the robots can be heard jokingly saying, “I might be a little bit under the control of the AI,” in response to a question about how much the AI ​​controls it.
At Tesla’s event, the new Optimus model said to one of the attendees in an artificial tone: “Today I am under the control of a human.” Also, he added, it does not operate completely autonomously.
Elon Musk Unveiled the humanoid robot Optimus for the first time by bringing a real human dressed as a robot; Therefore, it is not surprising that the introduction of new models of this robot at the ceremony of this company was accompanied by exaggeration.
