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.

The interview at the Conservative conference in Manchester immediately got off to a tense start, with Mr Robinson pointedly saying how long it had been since Mr Johnson was last on the show, prompting him to cheekily reply 'has it really been that long?' During the interview, Mr Johnson was interrupted during a long-winded answer on the supply chain crisis by Mr Robinson, who told him: 'Prime Minister, you are going to pause. Prime Minister, stop talking, we are going to have questions and answers, not where you merely talk, if you wouldn't mind.'
