Tesla’s Optimus robot has just taken a big leap forward! In a recent demonstration, the humanoid robot successfully caught a tennis ball, showcasing its newly developed hand with 22 degrees of freedom and advanced actuators in the forearm. What’s new? The new hand design offers significantly more flexibility than its predecessor, which had only 11 degrees of freedom. With 3 degrees of freedom in the wrist and forearm, Optimus now moves more naturally and accurately. Additionally, the actuators are now integrated into the forearm, with forces transmitted via cables. Tesla plans to complete further development by the end of the year, including adding tactile sensors for improved precision and reducing the forearm's weigh
