Eleven degrees of freedom
Dexterous Hands
Tactile-sensing fingers handle delicate objects — from an egg to a power tool — with human-like precision and adaptive grip force.
A general-purpose humanoid robot, built by Tesla.
Optimus moves through human spaces and handles human tasks.
The same intelligence that drives Tesla vehicles now walks.
Repetitive, dangerous, dull — Optimus is built to take it on.
Why Optimus
Most machines are built for one job in one place. Optimus is built for ours — the same doorways, tools and tasks people navigate every day. It walks on two legs, works with two hands, and learns by watching.
In motion
Real-time balance and camera-only perception let Optimus move through the same spaces people do — autonomously.
Capabilities
Hardware
A fully Tesla-designed body: custom actuators, a structural battery pack and tactile hands — engineered together as one system, the way a car is.
