The future has already arrived: the humanoid robot Elon Musk's Tesla Bot has arrived.

What will Elon Musk's next project be? Humanoid robots are robots similar to humans.

On Thursday, the entrepreneur unveiled the Tesla Bot at an event celebrating advances in artificial intelligence.

The Tesla Bot, as described on the Tesla website, was designed to perform "dangerous, repetitive, or uninteresting" physical tasks.

“What is the state of the economy? It's all about work from the start, ”Musk said. “So what happens when there is no labor shortage? "

The bot is 5'8 '' tall and weighs 125 pounds. According to Tesla Bot's presentation, it can support up to 45 pounds and deadlifts up to 150 pounds. It can also travel at speeds of up to 5 miles per hour.

During the presentation, Musk said, "On a mechanical level, on a physical level, you can run away from it - and most likely overpower it." The billionaire said he plans to unveil a prototype next year.

While automation and robotics have been heralded as the future of work, many critics fear the transition could put jobs at risk.

In the meantime, the robots are improving their skills. Boston Dynamics introduced a humanoid robot capable of performing complex maneuvers such as flipping, spinning, and spinning.

NYC public school teachers make emergency Supreme Court application to block Mayor Bill de Blasio's COVID-19 vaccine mandate from going into effect at 5pm Friday

New York City public school teachers have asked the Supreme Court for an emergency order to block Mayor Bill de Blasio's COVID-19 vaccine mandate from going into effect Friday. The group of four teachers sent a petition to Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor arguing that the mandate not only places an 'unconstitutional burden' on the city's 148,000 school workers, but also 'threatens the education of thousands of children.' The petition argues that their rights are being violated because they do not have the option to undergo regular COVID-19 testing instead of getting the shot. Other essential workers - including NYPD cops - have been given that testing option instead. Teachers across all public schools in the Big Apple have up until 5pm Friday to get vaccinated against COVID-19 or risk losing their jobs. When the school day starts the following Monday - October 4 - all teachers and staff arriving for work across the city's public schools must have rec...
