Musk apologizes: Tesla robot video can't fold shirts

Musk admitted that the Tesla robot video was fake and is currently unable to fold shirts independently

Quick Technology News Today (January 16) Elon Musk released a video of Tesla’s “Optimus Prime” humanoid robot folding shirts by itself on Monday, but netizens questioned its authenticity .

The video shows Tesla's robot "Optimus Prime" standing at a table and slowly folding a black shirt, seemingly without any external help. When Musk posted the video, he simply said: "Optimus Prime is folding his shirts." However, about 30 minutes later, Musk added in a post that the Optimus Prime shown in the video is not what he seems. Looks so powerful. "Important note: Optimus Prime is currently unable to fold his shirts independently, but he will definitely be able to fully realize this function in any environment in the future."

Musk has previously released videos of humanoid robots showing actions such as yoga, squats and picking up eggs. He also said that the humanoid robot will have the artificial intelligence system used in Tesla's self-driving cars.

A user claimed on Threads that he had discovered evidence of computer synthesis. According to the slow-motion video he posted, the shirt Optimus Prime was folding sometimes moved on its own. This user quipped: "Did Tesla hire the Claymation team from Wallace & Gromit?"

Users also pointed out that this video was only completed by remotely controlling the robot and was not performed automatically by the robot. This is essentially how remote surgical robots have worked for decades.
