In order to stay in the lead in the domain of robotics, Tesla constantly refine the new generation of its versatile humanoid robot with optimus double pedal.
The Optimus can now navigate on damaged terrains thanks to advanced neural networks, allowing precise control of its electrical members for a fluid movement.
In the new video shared by the founder of Tesla, Elon Musk, we now see Optimus climbing hills independently and walking on damaged terrain.
Last month, the company shared a video showing how a new hand -upgrade allowed Tesla Optimus to catch the tennis balls that were launched.
Tesla aims to deploy optimus pre-production prototypes in its factories by the end of next year, with production units available by 2026.
Optimus robots advance
THE new video Watch the Optimus Robot rising and descending a hill covered with mulch, with Elon Musk and the team offering an additional context. Musk stresses that the robot navigates a very variable ground using neural networks to control each member, instead of counting on teleoperation.
According to Milan Kovac, head of optmius at Tesla, these races take place on a straw soil, where the observer has already slipped. What is remarkable is that Optimus is essentially blind during these tests.
It maintains the balance without video, based only on other embedded sensors treated by a neural network operating in about 2 to 3 ms on its on -board computer.
According to TeslaratThe team plans to integrate the vision into the robot and aims to make additional improvements. These include refining your approach for a more natural movement on damaged terrain, improving responsiveness to controls such as speed and management, and developing capacities to minimize damage and recover falls.
Musk is devoted to the development of the Robot Optimus program because he sees a moment when these humanoid machines will revolutionize various sectors. With more than 1,000 robots made by Tesla by 2025, Musk predicts that Optimus could help the company reach a valuation of $ 25,000 billion.
With production costs of $ 10,000 and prices of around 20,000 dollars, Tesla anticipates substantial profitability. According to Musk, there will be a billion robots worldwide every year, Tesla representing 10 % of the market.
Optimus has already demonstrated autonomous operations and skillful tasks, the complete software to be ready by 2026.
Robot assistant powered by AI
The Tesla Optimus robot combines advanced AI and creative engineering to facilitate domestic and industrial tasks.
Optimus weighs 125 pounds (56 kilograms) and measures 5 feet 8 inches. It has a human appearance and is made from solid and light materials for more efficiency and versatility. Longer operation is supported by its 2.3 kWh battery, controlled by Tesla’s unique technology, which balances energy for intensive or light work.
With its amplitude of movement similar to that of a human and its 40 electromechanical actuators, Optimus allows precise manipulation of objects and a bipedal march. It is perfect for a variety of activities because it can move up to 5 MPH (8 km/h) and transport up to 45 pounds (20.4 kilograms) of weight.
Tesla AI is fueled by Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology, which allows you to sail in obstacles, become aware of the environment and respond to human controls. Their “face” is equipped with cameras that improve adaptability by providing a perception of depth, recognition of objects and spatial cartography.
With local sensors and algorithms that guarantee safe human interactions, Optimus grants high priority to security. It performs the tasks gently but efficiency, includes the conversational context and reacts to vocal controls.
Tesla sees uses in mounting chains, manufacturing and domestic tasks such as organization and cleaning. It can be used for help and health care, to help caregivers or to participate in rescue operations.
