# Tesla ## Kurzbeschreibung **Optimus** is Tesla’s humanoid robotics platform designed for physical tasks in factories and, in the future, in homes. Tesla is developing software for balance, navigation, perception, and physical interaction. The robot is not currently available for purchase by the general public. ## Claim general-purpose, bipedal, autonomous humanoid robot ## Geeignet für - Automation / Workflows - Marketing & Advertising - Presentations ## Kernfunktionen - Autonomy - Bipedal - Embodied AI - Gen 3 - humanoid robot - Navigation - Optimus - Perception - Production - Tesla Bot - Vision AI ## DSGVO und Datenschutz **Gesamteinschätzung:** unklar / nicht verfügbar **Overall assessment:** **** A combination of a physical robot, onboard inference, Tesla’s AI infrastructure, and potential teleoperation services that has not yet been publicly documented. The official Optimus page describes a general-purpose, autonomous, bipedal robot. It requires software for balance, navigation, perception, and interaction with the physical world. Tesla relies on computer vision, neural networks, motion planning, and its own inference hardware. Current Tesla job postings indicate that multimodal foundation models for perception, interaction, and navigation are being developed for Optimus. Tesla is also developing backend systems for remote control and support of robotaxis and humanoid robots. This suggests that, in addition to local robotics, central training, fleet, or teleoperation components are planned; however, the specific commercial architecture has not been disclosed. **Data Processing:** Potentially relevant data includes camera and video data, sensor data, motion data, grasping and manipulation data, environmental information, teleoperation data, error logs, and production data. Which data is processed locally, anonymized, uploaded, or stored is not publicly described. **Hosting Model:** No public SaaS, on-premise, private cloud, API, or self-hosting offering for Optimus. There is also no public developer portal or SDK available. **Training:** Tesla is developing Optimus using computer vision, deep learning, and data collection. A job posting for Optimus data collection confirms this development work; specific guidelines for future customer data are lacking. **Product status: **Tesla reports that initial production lines for Optimus are being installed to prepare for future volume production. This does not yet constitute a public commitment to sales or delivery in Germany. **Conclusion:** **** Optimus is currently a development and production platform, not a commercially available robotics product. Statements regarding hosting, data residency, remote access, retention, updates, and customer data training will only be possible after the release of official product and contract documentation. [Customer Privacy Notice](https://www.tesla.com/legal/privacy) **Overall assessment:** **** On** the positive** side, Tesla has a comprehensive general privacy policy. For individuals in the EEA, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, Tesla International B.V. in the Netherlands is designated as the data controller. Tesla identifies a data protection officer, outlines data subject rights, provides options for erasure, describes technical and organizational security measures, and references EU Standard Contractual Clauses for international transfers. Tesla also states that it does not sell personal data. On the **negative **side, the publicly available privacy policy mainly refers to vehicles, energy products, websites, accounts, and existing Tesla services. A specific privacy policy for Optimus, its cameras, microphones, telemetry, remote control, training data, or operating environment has not been published: No verified information available. **Server location: **Tesla is a global company and may transfer personal data to the U.S. and other countries. For European data, Tesla refers to standard contractual clauses and technical and organizational safeguards. A specific EU data residency for Optimus is not specified. **Training on customer data: **Tesla describes, in part, local camera processing for vehicles and consent-based data sharing for fleet learning. These statements cannot be automatically applied to Optimus. There is no publicly available Optimus-specific non-training commitment. **DPA:** No publicly available, product-specific DPA template exists for future enterprise use of Optimus: No verified information is available. **Conclusion:** Tesla generally has established GDPR processes, SCCs, and a European data controller. However, a robust GDPR assessment for Optimus will only be possible once Tesla publishes specific product terms, data flows, storage locations, retention policies, training usage, and contractual documents.
