It's been a while!

Welcome to the twelfth edition of the Quantumics Weekly Roundup. It was great meeting everyone that came down to Big Data London last month! We hope you enjoyed it as much as us and a special shoutout to those who won some great goodies from our stand!

This week, we’re taking a deep dive into Tesla’s new “Optimus” humanoid robot. We’ll also explore the latest news and information in data and AI, business and tech.

Let’s go! ??

Tech News ??

Last week at Tesla’s AI Day, Elon Musk unveiled (a prototype) of his brand new, Optimus, humanoid robot. However, many took to Twitter disappointed as the robot awkwardly walked onto a stage, turned, and waved to the crowd, as the robot was far from Elon’s world changing vision. It is worth noting that the robot is an early prototype, and it’s very likely that additional features (and more human like movement!) will be added in the future.
