Summary Report
Tesla Optimus engineer Amir Hadi shows off GROXIE, a desk robot concept meant to run on Grok, pending a prototype review.
- 01. Counter or desk companion robot; tested at home while cooking
- 02. Grok planned; side project, not a Tesla product; prototype review next
Amir Hadi, a robotics engineer on Tesla's Optimus team, has shown off GROXIE, a compact AI companion robot for a kitchen counter or desk. He says the idea came from his wife, who tested it while cooking, using it for meal ideas, recipes, her calendar, emails and calls. The plan is for Grok to power its conversation. It's a side project rather than a Tesla product, and Hadi says it still needs a formal prototype review of the hardware, AI, privacy, safety and reliability before any further development or potential consumer release. Tesla and xAI haven't commented.
