Elon Musk just posted a fascinating video on his X account showing the Tesla Optimus robot performing a task associated with housework for the first time where it is seen folding clothing.
Optimus reaches into a clothing basket and retrieves a black t-shirt with the phrase “Autopilot AI” printed on it; before neatly folding the shirt into a square.
Musk stresses in a further comment on his X post that Optimus can not yet fold clothing autonomously. But states this is because Optimus currently requires a fixed table and controlled environment.
Seeing Optimus perform a manual task familiar to everyone really makes you sit back and realise the huge impact this technology is going to have.
