SAN FRANCISCO—Tesla Inc Chief Executive Elon Musk on Thursday said the electric automaker will probably launch a “Tesla Bot” humanoid robot prototype next year, designed for dangerous, repetitive, or boring work that people don’t like to do.
Speaking at Tesla’s AI Day event, the billionaire entrepreneur said the robot, which stands around 5-foot-8-inches tall, would be able to handle jobs from attaching bolts to cars with a wrench, or picking up groceries at stores.
