May 5, 2024, 11:29 AM

Tesla's manufacturing team has recently enhanced their robotic capabilities with Optimus, a robot now being tested in a Tesla factory. Optimus, equipped with a deployed neural net, has been trained to perform useful tasks such as picking up battery cells from a conveyor belt. The robot's performance is improving, with a continuously decreasing rate of human interventions required during its operations, and it has shown spontaneous corrections from failure states. This progress indicates significant advancements in Tesla's automation technology.
