The Optimus robots were unveiled at Tesla’s “We, Robot” event last October, and were touted as the future in household management, performing basic tasks and chores and later mingling with guests.

Ah, yes, the robots that were remote controlled by an employee with a gamepad, had another employee with a microphone talking for the robot, and a couple of handlers standing close by to make sure they didn’t fall over.

Those robots will be on Mars in less than 2 years.
