Part 6/9:
As Milan and Elon pointed out, the next major step for Optimus involves integrating vision systems to augment the robot's abilities further. Currently, it relies on inertial measurement units and torque sensors—essentially its body's equivalent of human proprioception. By adding visual capabilities, Optimus could improve its understanding of its environment, thus enhancing its efficacy and responsiveness.
The excitement surrounding these advancements is palpable within the Tesla community. The potential for low-gravity robots that can balance dynamically while moving quickly opens up numerous possibilities not just for Tesla, but for the future of robotics across various application sectors.
