Tesla will launch a humanoid robot called the “Tesla Bot” next year

Chief Executive Elon Musk says the robot will “eliminate dangerous, repetitive, boring tasks”.

The robot will carry out the work people that like doing the least, with “profound implications for the economy”.

“Develop the next generation of automation, including a general purpose, bi-pedal, humanoid robot capable of performing tasks that are unsafe, repetitive or boring. We’re seeking mechanical, electrical, controls and software engineers to help us leverage our AI expertise beyond our vehicle fleet”
Tesla says

The Tesla robots will be designed in-house for its fast computer, Dojo, to train its automated driving system.

It follows Musk asking Tesla engineers “to design a superfast training computer”.
