To put the numbers on the table, the third generation of Optimus aims to integrate fifty individual actuators concentrated solely in the hands and forearms. We’re talking about fitting fifty ultra-high-precision micromotors into a space equivalent to that of a small water bottle. It’s just that when we stop to think about it, the human hand is a biomechanical marvel that we tend to take for granted. It’s not simply a matter of moving a plastic pivot or closing a gripper. Rather, there are tendons that transmit force nonlinearly, along with hundreds of tactile receptors per square centimeter sending information about pressure and slippage within milliseconds. Musk pointed out with considerable frustration that the human hand is an evolutionary wonder that industrial robotics has spent half a century trying to replicate without matching its versatility.
