A recent video posted by Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) showcases the latest developments in its Optimus humanoid robot as it performs another real-world task: precisely inserting battery cells into a tray.
What Happened: This iteration of Optimus utilizes a neural network trained on 2D camera footage and sensor data. This allows the robot to directly generate the necessary joint movements for the task, demonstrating progress from previous demonstrations.
Further advancements are planned. CEO Elon Musk revealed plans for a new hand with 22 degrees of freedom (DOF), compared to the current 11 DOF.
