Tesla has unveiled the latest version of its Optimus robot, demonstrating new hands that allow it to perform delicate tasks like cooking eggs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tesla\u2019s humanoid robot, first unveiled last year, forms a key part of CEO Elon Musk\u2019s plan to automate all physical human labour and supercharge manufacturing processes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Optimus Gen 2 features improved actuators and sensors in the robot, allowing it to work 30 per cent faster than its predecessor, according to Tesla.<\/span><\/p>\n

The robot\u2019s weight has also been reduced by 10kg, while its balance is greatly improved.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tesla\u2019s ambition for its Optimus bot is to create a \u201cgeneral purpose, bi-pedal, autonomous humanoid robot capable of performing unsafe, repetitive or boring tasks\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr Musk has previously claimed that the humanoid robot has the potential to be \u201cmore significant\u201d than the company\u2019s electric car business.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEssentially in the future, physical work will be a choice,\u201d the tech boss said when the robot was first announced in 2021. \u201cIt has profound implications for the economy, given that the economy at its foundational level is labour.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In a biography of the billionaire published earlier this year, it was revealed that Mr Musk told employees that the Optimus robot was the key to transforming Tesla into a $10 trillion company. The firm currently has a market cap of around $750 billion, making it the world\u2019s most valuable automaker.<\/span><\/p>\n

The second generation of the Optimus bot marks significant progress for Tesla, coming just one year after unveiling a prototype that was unable to walk unassisted.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a post to X, formerly Twitter, Mr Musk said the robot would be able to \u201cthread a needle\u201d within the next year.Tesla has not yet set an official release date or price for the robot, though early versions will likely be tested on vehicle production lines.<\/span><\/p>\n

A commercial version is expected to be ready for customers in around three-to-five years, according to Mr Musk.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
