Tesla Wants to Build 20,000 Optimus Robots a Week. First It Has to Figure Out Hands
Tesla says it aims to produce 20,000 Optimus humanoid robots per week, but a major obstacle remains the robots' hands, which are proving difficult to engineer at scale. The ambition stands in sharp contrast to current progress, as the company has yet to demonstrate mass manufacturing of the robots, and reliable, dexterous robotic hands are considered one of the hardest problems in robotics.
Why now: Tesla's stated production target for its Optimus humanoid robot is far ahead of its demonstrated capability, drawing attention to the technical hurdles.
