<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Tesla Optimus has taken a step closer to human-like dexterity, showcasing its upgraded hands with impressive capabilities. A recent video highlights the robot catching a tennis ball using its new hands, which now feature 22 degrees of freedom. By comparison, human hands have 27 degrees of freedom, making Optimus\u2019 latest enhancements a significant stride in robotic engineering. In May 2024, Elon Musk hinted at these upgrades, and the results are now visible.<\/p>\n<p>This development aligns closely with Neuralink\u2019s recent milestone\u2014the United States Food and Drug Administration has granted approval for the CONVOY Study. This feasibility trial aims to test the Brain-to-Computer-interface N1 Implant alongside assistive robotic arms, hinting at the possibility of collaboration between Tesla Optimus and Neuralink technologies. During a Neuralink update in July, Elon Musk mentioned the potential for Optimus\u2019 limbs to work in sync with the N1 Implant, emphasizing a vision where human minds control robotic systems seamlessly.<\/p>\n<p>Optimus itself is a technical marvel, standing five feet eight inches tall and weighing 125 pounds. Designed for versatility, it is constructed with lightweight yet durable materials and powered by a 2.3 kilowatt-hour battery. This proprietary energy management system ensures efficient operation for tasks ranging from light to intensive. With 40 electromechanical actuators, Optimus offers precise movements and a human-like range of motion. Capable of walking at speeds up to five miles per hour and carrying up to 45 pounds, this robot is designed for real-world utility, blending innovation with practicality.<\/p>\n<p>#teslaoptimusrobot #robottechnology #elonmuskupdates.<br \/> Get More Great Car Videos \u2014 Subscribe: <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/BSIaFc\">https:\/\/goo.gl\/BSIaFc<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tesla Optimus has taken a step closer to human-like dexterity, showcasing its upgraded hands with impressive capabilities.
