Later this week, Tesla will attend the 2024 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC 2024) in Shanghai, China. Held at the Shanghai World Expo Center, the four-day event will starts on July 4.

According to the official website, Tesla will feature the debut of its iconic model Cybertruck and also the latest generation of the humanoid robot, Optimus Gen 2.

The second-generation robot is equipped with in-house designed actuators and sensors, featuring a 2-DoF actuated neck and the ability to walk 30 percent faster than its predecessor, according to Tesla.

In a post on Tesla’s official account on X last month, the company highlighted its milestones since 2018 and unveiled the autonomous deployment of two Optimus robots in Tesla’s factories.

“Deployed two Optimus bots performing tasks in the factory autonomously,” Tesla included in the list.

With an exhibition area spanning 52,000 square meters, the conference will spotlight key areas such as large models, computing power, robotics, and autonomous driving. The event will showcase the latest advancements in “AI+” applications and unveil many innovative products, according to local media.
