Can Tesla Optimus Robot’s Leg Lift a Piano? Here’s How Powerful It Is! [LOOK]

Elon Musk's company had the robot's single actuator raise a whole piano to demonstrate the power of their actuator technology for Tesla Bot, a humanoid robot.

Tesla thought its vehicles were already "robots on wheels," which is part of its decision to create a humanoid robot.

However, this does not seem to align with its objective to hasten the development of sustainable energy and transportation.

Tesla Optimus Lifts Entire Piano Using Its Leg!

The Tesla Optimus prototype that was presented during the last AI Day couldn't walk, according to an Electrek article.

Visitors and online watchers were unaware of the machine's strength as a result.

However, Tesla customers will now be aware of the capabilities of this humanoid machine owing to the most recent video presentation.

According to Tesla, the Optimus robot has 28 structural actuators. The manufacturer could have shown the robot's strength without using all of these actuators, though.

In contrast, Tesla's video presentation made use of one actuator.

Tesla Optimus Strong Enough To Carry Item Half a Ton

According to Tesla's YouTube caption, the concert grand piano was raised using the Tesla Optimus' actuator. This demonstrates that the device can really support 500 kg (or half a ton).

If you're unfamiliar with the term, an actuator is a mechanical part that transforms energy and signals into motion.

It may generate either rotational or linear motion. It is clear from Tesla's YouTube video that the actuator functions like a pulley.

It can carry the piano numerous times thanks to three sturdy harnesses that are attached to the piano by a rope.

Tesla Principal Motor Designer Konstantinos Laskaris played the piano throughout the show to add to the excitement.

You may see what happened by watching the authorized video down below.

Tesla thought it was in an excellent position to carry out this potentially game-changing notion of having working humanoid robots because it felt that a lot of its current technology and knowledge would translate easily to a bipedal robot.

For instance, the robot is powered by batteries, just like Tesla's electric automobiles, and it has the same self-driving computer and sensor suite to power its vision system. Additionally, Tesla has expertise in creating electric actuators and motors, which are also used to power robots.

Last month during Tesla's AI Day, the firm showed the most recent Tesla Optimus prototype, which uses actuators created by Tesla rather than off-the-shelf items for the first time.

Although Tesla doesn't frequently create marketing videos like this one, perhaps we will see one soon that has a walking Tesla Bot.
