Summary
According to a post on X by @CyberRobooo, an Aitu humanoid robot is handling soft fabric pieces for collars and sleeves at Bosideng's factory in Jiangsu, work that has traditionally required skilled workers who are hard to hire. In a Munro Live interview, Tesla engineers said Optimus runs on a battery of roughly 2.5 kWh. They also said the robot will first plug in and charge the robotaxi fleet, with servicing cars and deliveries possible later.

What happened
The Aitu humanoid is handling soft fabric pieces for collars and sleeves at Bosideng's factory in Jiangsu, the kind of work that still needed skilled workers who are hard to hire. In a Munro Live interview, Tesla engineers said Optimus runs on a roughly 2.5 kWh battery and will first plug in and charge the...
Why it matters
For manufacturers facing hard-to-fill skilled roles, a humanoid handling garment assembly tasks suggests robots are moving into real production work. Builders and investors in robotics will want to see how well the Aitu system performs over time and at what scale. Watch whether Tesla's stated plan for Optimus, starting with charging robotaxis, expands into servicing and deliveries as described.
