Tesla CEO Elon musk shows off Optimus humanoid robot prototype.

Tech billionaire Elon Musk has presented the latest prototype of a humanoid robot being developed by his Tesla electric car company.

The CEO said the robot was work-in-progress but could be on sale to the public in a few years' time.

The prototype was wheeled on stage during an annual Tesla AI [artificial intelligence] Day presentation.

The Tesla boss spoke of "a future of abundance" ahead.

Investors and financial analysts have expressed scepticism that Tesla will turn to robotics, advising it to focus, instead, on projects closer to Tesla's core business of electric cars.

But Mr Musk said he wanted to solve one of the toughest problems artificial intelligence: how to make a machine that can replace a human.

The entrepreneur, who once warned of artificial intelligence being a threat to humanity, said that Tesla wanted to make sure the transition to a society in which robots did the work and people reaped the benefits was a safe one.
