To demonstrate its capabilities, the robot performed a few squats.<\/p>\n<p>The bot has tactile sensors on its fingers, enabling it to manipulate delicate objects such as a chicken egg. Optimus also houses a battery with a capacity of 2.3 kWh, located in the chest cavity, which is enough for a full workday.<\/p>\n<p>The robot&#8217;s central computer processes visual data from multiple sensors and is equipped with a neural-network-based navigation system.<\/p>\n<p>Its memory contains libraries of &#8216;standards of natural movement&#8217;, recorded from real people. The bot can recognise its environment and determine the position of its limbs in space.<\/p>\n<p>For now, Optimus can only walk forward, self-calibrate its body parts and move them in 11 axes, and adopt different poses \u2014 for example, standing on one leg.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier Tesla bots were far from perfect; the first appeared in 2022 and could barely move.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\\\"lazy\\\" width=\\\"560\\\" height=\\\"315\\\" src=\\\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0y-RsGj0_7I?si=kTGXvbPbOh8dTtwX\\\" title=\\\"YouTube video player\\\" frameborder=\\\"0\\\" allow=\\\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\\\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>But by May 2023 a new generation of robots had emerged that moved freely and interacted with objects.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\\\"twitter-tweet\\\">\n<p lang=\\\"en\\\" dir=\\\"ltr\\\">Multiple fully Tesla-made Bots now walking around &#038; learning about the real world ? <\/p>\n<p>Join the Tesla AI team \u2192 <a href=\\\"https:\/\/t.co\/dBhQqg1qya\\\">https:\/\/t.co\/dBhQqg1qya<\/a> <a href=\\\"https:\/\/t.co\/3TZ2znxkfd\\\">pic.twitter.com\/3TZ2znxkfd<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Tesla Optimus (@Tesla_Optimus) <a href=\\\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Tesla_Optimus\/status\/1658576897490530305?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\\\">May 16, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\\\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\\\" charset=\\\"utf-8\\\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>At Tesla AI Day 2022, the company&#8217;s CEO Elon Musk described the project as &quot;an extremely capable device&quot; with universal functionality.
