  • Last August, Elon Musk announced that Tesla was working on a bipedal humanoid robot that could perform boring and/or dangerous tasks for humans.
  • After an introduction by Musk, a “rough development” prototype named Bumble C slowly walked out onto the stage, waved to the audience, did a double fist-pump, then walked back off again.
  • Supported by a tether in the footage, Bumble C picked up and carried a box, picked up a watering can and watered some plants, then picked up and placed a steel bar.
