Tesla’s Optimus Gen 2 is Faster, Lighter and Can Even Dance

Tesla has recently unveiled the Optimus Gen 2, a significant upgrade from its predecessor, marked by enhanced speed, lighter weight, and more human-like movements. This new generation robot shows potential to not only rival other robots but also possibly become a central part of Tesla's workforce.
The Optimus Gen 2 boasts a 30% increase in walking speed compared to the previous model, reflecting substantial progress in its practical utility. Tesla has also optimized its design, reducing the robot's weight by 22 pounds and improving its balance, crucial for real-world applications.

A key innovation in the Optimus Gen 2 is its advanced hands, designed for both strength and precision. They can lift heavy objects and handle delicate tasks, like holding an egg, making the robot versatile in various functions.
Tesla plans to test the robot in its manufacturing operations to evaluate its real-world capabilities. Following successful implementation, the company aims to commercialize the robot for broader uses. Elon Musk, Tesla's CEO, foresees a significant market demand for the Optimus, potentially reaching billions of units, and believes it could greatly contribute to Tesla's long-term value.

Overall, the Tesla Optimus Gen 2 represents a notable leap forward in humanoid robotics, poised to move from concept to practical application with its improved features and Tesla's ambitious integration and commercialization plans.

Why always humanoid shape. I’d settle for R2D2.

Something tells me these will be used on war in the not so distant future.

Elon is worried about AI, but pushes to build stuff like this LOL!

[TechPodge]

Interesting - well done overview. Thanks.

Considering what we just saw from Boston Dynamics I think Optimus is still too early for production. Sure it might do a trial run or two but it’s still to wonky for mass real world use. We need to see a Gen 3 and so on.

Meanwhile, in the realm of Boston Dynamics, robots are breakdancing, lifting weights of up to 100 lbs, and playing 'Rambo' in the woods.

Ermm.. whens the perfect female, stay home version coming out? "Asking for a friend" lol

Anyone else think the narrator is an ElevenLabs voice AI? It’s unsettlingly unnatural. Combined with the entire video being stock footage or footage from other places… we can agree this is not being produced by a human right?

Imagine bro walking in the facility chilling at 3 am

Unless they have achieved a monumental breakthrough in micro servo technology, there is no way those fingers, hands, wrists, elbows and shoulders are moving that quickly or fluidly. As my teenage kids say, this is CAP.

Make a car that works then go ask boston dynamics how to do it right😂

[happytrailsgaming]

Why do we feel the need to make them look human like? We could make them anything but humans😂 Atleast make em into hobbits

I want a squid or octopus robot, Tesla.

WHY NOBODY TALKING ABOUT FNAF PEOPLE ARE GONNA HACK THE SYSTEM AND MAKE THEM HARMFUL AND THEN MAKE THEM SUITS

[Kneephry]

The portions with the robot having neon lights on the head looks very different to me from the other footage. Without this being demoed live or to independent third parties it's hard to know how consistently it works as shown.

[keithnichols]

As imperfect as we are, our adaptability far exceeds that of any robot envisioned so far.

[studioashlan]

Baby my way of smart in ventor is very different and out of the box. Something useful to mankind and saves mankind.

[atlantabob]

When is Optimus going to do something?

[josephwarren]

Why doesn't this guy just make a dependable, no frills car and astonish the world with this alleged brilliance?
