Mind-blowing video shows Elon Musk’s Humanoid robot doing YOGA with impressive balance and coordination

A VIDEO of Tesla’s humanoid robot Optimus has left viewers ‘mind blown’ as it displays impressive balance and coordination while doing Yoga.

Optimus, the brainchild of Tesla owner and billionaire Elon Musk, is expected to be ready to hit the shelves sometime in 2027 for an eyewatering sum that is yet to be decided.

Musk has promised to ‘end poverty’ with Tesla’s humanoid robot Optimus.

The eccentric billionaire hopes the robot will walk humans into a “future of abundance, a future where there is no poverty, a future where you can have whatever you want in terms of products and services.”

Musk’s goal was to make a humanoid robot as quickly a possible, announcing the project in August 2021.

Despite just two years of – public – development, onlookers agree that the robot is impressive.

“This is mind blowing stuff!” one onlooker wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

Another tweeted: “It’s incredible to consider where the world will be in a decade, let alone five years, or one…”

However, some onlookers are rightly spooked, given how humanoid robots like Optimus have been portrayed in movies – think I, Robot; Ex Machina; M3GAN.

Several viewers claimed the video even used the same music as Ex Machina, where a beautiful humanoid robot becomes self-aware and outwits its inventor.

“They use the same music as Ex Machina the movie, not a good subliminal message based on how that all played out,” an onlooker added.

The full-length video also showed Optimus sorting coloured bricks into coloured trays.

Yoga and organising are two new skills that can be added to Optimus’ growing list of capabilities:

Musk has previously given a ballpark figure of under $20,000 (£16,300) for the robot.

However, the price of Tesla cars was initially supposed to be around $35,000 (£28,500) but has increased over time.

So, it’s unclear just how expensive this bot will be.

The bottom line is: it’s going to be expensive.
