Humanoid robots promise to save humans many hours of work. One of the most promising is the Tesla Optimus Gen 2, developed by Tesla, Elon Musk’s company. This entity periodically publishes the progress of its robot, which is currently a project, something it did recently. It is already capable of perform certain tasks alone and travel long distances.
All the advances of Optimus Gen 2
The Tesla division in charge of developing the robot published on X, Elon Musk’s social network, a video of just one and a half minutes with the new tasks you can perform. In it he is shown sorting beer cans, as an example of repetitive tasks, and walking around an office, indicating that he can now travel longer distances than in the past.
For all this he uses two-dimensional cameras, a sensitivity sensor in the hand and force sensors. Regarding its operation, it is also very relevant ability to swing your legs to maintain balance while doing any activity. Another aspect to highlight is the ability to “recover from mistakes”since in the video he fails leaving a can, but picks it up to leave it correctly placed.
In order to undertake the tasks it was trained by human teleoperation; That is, a company worker performs a task and the robot copies his movements, something that Tesla cheated with in the past. Thus he learned the gestures and could carry out the task independently later. This was done with the placement of the cans, but also with other actions, since in the footage the workers teach them how to carry out other activities.
During the last seconds of the video the robot walks through an office. Tesla indicates that The robot’s walking ability has been improved during its developmentso it is currently capable of walking longer distances than in the early stages of development.
It will cost between $25,000 and $30,000.
In principle will hit the market at the end of 2025 by between 25,000 and 30,000 dollars (approximately 23,300 and 29,000 euros)according to Musk himself in
