The most common question in the technology world is, whether the bots can obliterate human beings and work without human beings. People are very interested in this question because of the unmatched enthusiasm of the field.
The introduction of Tesla into robotics has convinced the audience that, it might be possible to do so. But the latest news we get from the tech world is not happy for the company and its CEO Elon Musk.
Elon Musk introduced his concept of a humanoid robot called Optimus in 2021 and guaranteed the audience that he would be more than capable of doing household chores and even babysitting. The prototype is marching toward its apex position, but yet it is imperfect and has room for improvement. It was made visible to the world in the Cybercab event.
Optimus in CyberCab event
Tesla has used humans to control their prototype, Optimus Robot at an event that was organized to produce investor’s interest and enthusiasm for the upcoming projects. Optimus was seen as interactive and mingled with the audience who were present at the event. But it was all just a manifestation to create an advanced image of the Optimus.
During the Cybercab event, Tesla’s prototype Optimus was actively engaged with the people by mingling with the crowd, serving drinks, playing games with them, and even talking with them. But now the authenticity behind it is being questioned and it proved that most of the actions done by Optimus were human beings and remote controlled.
They drew to the conclusion because the voices appeared to have on the robots seemed different each time. The immediate and synchronized responses and hand gestures were the result of human intervention and telephonic commands.
The human intervention has raised questions about the capability and cent percent Artificial intelligence-driven performance of Optimus Robot, besides that a serious discussion has emerged in the audience about the worthiness of the product and whether they will be ready to spend $20,000 to $30,000. But Musk has come up with a polished definition for Optimus Robot, according to him, the humanoid robot would become “the biggest product ever of any kind”.
Bloomberg is responsible for revealing the news to the world, according to the findings and report by Bloomberg, Tesla employees oversaw the interaction between the Optimus Robots and people who attended the event.
This socialization process was without the assistance of artificial intelligence, then later further details about the human intervention were available, the Optimus bartender itself revealed that it was assisted by humans, which was a contradictive statement of the company CEO, Elon Musk.
The response from Elon Musk about the capabilities of Optimus Robot was like this. “ It can be a teacher, babysit your kids, it can walk your dog, mow your lawn, get the groceries, just be your friend, serve drinks. Whatever you can think of, it will do.”
Optimus Robot with AI-driven performance in the future?
We all know that robotics technology hasn’t gained its true momentum, it is still in the growing phase, so the producers might need to face many challenges in assembling the technology and its proper implementation, it is marching to an advanced position and we can expect a fully developed and AI-driven Optimus Robot in the future with enhanced capacities.
The future of Optimus robot will be bright because Elon Musk is not an individual who quit his ventures and innovations in the middle, we can see it in the growth of Tesla and SpaceX, so we can wait and watch the forthcoming success of Optimus.

Conclusion
The human assistance system adopted by Tesla has initiated controversial talks in the community, some investors and persons associated with the company felt betrayed and mistreated. The lack of proper instruction about hidden technology has led to a stock hit of 11%.
Some of the participants believe that it was a nice promotional initiative and demo of what Optimus is capable of in the future. However the shares are now at a decreased level, but we all know what Tesla and Elon Musk is capable of. We all hope to see a more advanced and completely AI-driven Optmus humanoid robot near the future.
