Tesla's Optimus Robot Struggles With Hand Dexterity
Original: Tesla Reportedly Can’t Get the Hands to Work on Its Optimus Robot
Tesla is reportedly struggling to make the hands on its Optimus humanoid robot work as intended, according to a report from Futurism. The development is a setback for Elon Musk's ambition to mass-produce a general-purpose robot, a project Musk has repeatedly touted as central to Tesla's future. The report raises fresh questions about how close Tesla really is to a working humanoid robot.
Why now: Elon Musk has heavily promoted Optimus, so any report of technical difficulties attracts wide attention
