Optimus Gen 3

Optimus Gen 3

Tesla Optimus 3 is a second-generation bipedal humanoid robot engineered for versatile home and industrial applications, standing at human height with 75 degrees of freedom for fluid, human-like motion. It features advanced 5-fingered hands with 25 DOF enabling precise manipulation of objects from delicate items to heavy loads up to 40kg. Powered by Tesla's AI4/AI5 chips and integrated with xAI Grok LLM, it achieves low-latency neural net control for autonomous navigation, task execution, and real-time learning via reinforcement methods. Key capabilities include 12km/h walking speed, 5-hour runtime, IP68-rated extremities for durability, and safe human collaboration through force sensing and collision avoidance. Designed with soft 3D-lattice polymers over lightweight frames, it handles repetitive labor, logistics, folding laundry, tool use, and factory assembly while adapting to unstructured environments via visual SLAM and 360-degree 8MP vision.
