Elon Musk teases Tesla Optimus Gen 3 capabilities: ‘So many improvements’
SMRTR summary
A humanoid robot folding laundry and poaching eggs? That's the vision Tesla's Elon Musk is pursuing with Optimus, the company's ambitious foray into household robotics.
From a spandex-clad human prototype to a walking, dancing machine in just a few years, Optimus has made significant strides. The latest generation boasts improved agility, flexibility, and dexterity, with 28 degrees of freedom and hands capable of delicate tasks.
Tesla aims to begin production for public use in 2026, with plans to manufacture up to 100,000 units for internal factory use as early as next year. Musk recently hinted at even more dramatic improvements on the horizon, tweeting, "So many improvements to come in the next design of Optimus."
While the idea of a robot babysitter or personal chef may seem far-fetched, Tesla's rapid progress suggests a future where humanoid helpers could become a reality in American homes.
