Optimus robot, as a humanoid robot product launched by Tesla, has many advanced functions and features.
The following is a summary of the main functions of Optimus robot:
1. Walking ability
Upright walking: Optimus robot has the ability to walk upright, which is one of its basic functions.
Improved walking speed: Compared with the previous generation, the walking speed of Optimus second-generation robot has increased by 30%, significantly improving its mobility efficiency.
2. Perception and touch
Perception ability: Optimus robot can perceive the surrounding environment, including the position, shape and size of objects through integrated sensors and cameras.
Tactile sensing: Its fingers not only have perception and touch functions, but also can maintain fine force control when gently grasping fragile objects such as eggs to avoid damage.
3. Fine operation ability
Grip ability: Optimus is equipped with new hands, which can grasp heavier objects and perform more delicate operations. The flexibility and precision of its fingers have been significantly improved, and it can easily complete tasks such as carrying heavy objects and gently grasping eggs.
Improved freedom: The hand design has 11 degrees of freedom, which allows the fingers to perform more complex movements and improves the flexibility and precision of the operation.
4. Autonomy and learning ability
Imitating human operation: With the help of visual neural networks and FSD chips, Optimus can imitate human operation and perform tasks such as battery sorting training.
This shows its ability in imitation and learning.
Environmental memory: The Optimus robot can remember the surrounding environment, which helps it to navigate autonomously and perform tasks in complex environments.
5. Commercial application
Factory application: Tesla plans to start limited production of Optimus robots from 2025, and will give priority to deploying them in Tesla factories to further improve production efficiency and automation.
This shows that Optimus is not just a display, but is about to enter the practical application stage.
Future outlook: Musk once said that humanoid robots will become the main force of industry in the future, and the number is expected to surpass that of humans, with an estimated 10 billion to 20 billion units.
Tesla aims to produce 1 billion units per year, accounting for more than 10% of the market share.
6. Cost Control and Pricing
Cost Control: Tesla focuses on cost control when designing and producing the Optimus robot, and it is expected that its cost will be controlled at around $10,000.
Market Pricing: The price of the Optimus robot is expected to be $20,000, which will help it to be competitive in the market.
In summary, as an advanced humanoid robot product, the Optimus robot has excellent walking ability, perception and touch, fine operation ability, autonomy and learning ability, and broad commercial application prospects.
With the continuous advancement of technology and the in-depth expansion of applications, the Optimus robot is expected to play an important role in more fields.
