Availability
First series delivery expected in H1 2027
Primary Use Case
Heavy lifting, part handling, flow logistics, picking and kitting, and production operations in warehouses, factories, and logistics environments.
Tesla's own recruitment listings confirm it is hiring workers to wear motion-capture equipment and complete prescribed physical tasks to collect training data for Optimus, including daytime and overnight schedules in Austin and dual-shift operations at Fremont Factory and Milmont Academy. Technology commentator Robert Scoble's October 28 post adds unverified details — 24-pound suits with up to 40 cameras, 3D sensors and three shifts around the clock at Palo Alto — that the listings neither confirm nor refute. The article contrasts Tesla's controlled, employee-led collection effort with Figure's crowdsourced Index platform, which reported 69,943 weekly active users and uploads equivalent to 35 minutes of video per second, while cautioning that neither approach alone demonstrates robot performance.
AGIBOT WORLD Release 4, the “Physical Reasoning” dataset, links high-level instructions and task structure to robot action trajectories, detailed manipulation descriptions and spatial annotations. Its successful, erroneous and adversarial examples span Easy, Medium and Hard levels and nine reasoning abilities, including counting, precondition reasoning, memory, long-horizon planning and subtask ordering. AGIBOT says it has used the data to train its next-generation foundation model, but no quantitative evaluation isolating the dataset’s impact has been published.
