Equipped with Tesla’s in-house FSD (Full Self-Driving) chip, running end-to-end neural networks.
Sensors
8 Autopilot-grade cameras: Distributed across the head and body, providing 360° visual coverage. Full fingertip array tactile sensing: Each fingertip integrates high-sensitivity tactile sensors for fine-grained touch perception. Integrated actuator sensors: High-precision torque and position sensors are embedded within all 28 core actuators across the body. Function: These continuously monitor joint resistance and exact angles, which are critical for maintaining balance, walking on uneven terrain, and enabling safe physical interaction with humans. Foot sensor array: Multi-axis force sensors are integrated into feet and ankles with human-like foot geometry. Function: Enables perception of ground slope, friction, and weight distribution—key for complex balance tasks such as squatting and dancing. Multi-axis IMU: Used to sense the robot’s spatial orientation (pitch, roll, yaw). Function: Similar to the human inner ear, it helps maintain balance during rapid motion or external disturbances.

Product Overview

Tesla’s in-house actuators increase walking speed by 30% and reduce weight by 10 kg compared to the first generation. It features 11-degree-of-freedom dexterous hands equipped with tactile sensors for precise manipulation. **Bionic design and lightweighting:** By using lightweight materials (such as PEEK) and optimizing the structure, the overall weight is reduced by 10 kg to 63 kg, resulting in greater agility and lower energy consumption. The feet are equipped with force/torque sensors and human-like articulated toes, enhancing adaptability and balance on uneven terrain. **Precise tactile interaction:** The standout feature is its new bionic dual hands. Each hand has 11 degrees of freedom and integrates tactile sensors, enabling precise force control for delicate tasks—such as gently picking up an egg without crushing it. **Powerful perception and learning capabilities:** Gen 2 adopts AI technology derived from Tesla vehicles. Through end-to-end neural networks, it can directly convert visual input (e.g., camera feeds) into action commands, enabling autonomous learning and error correction. For example, when sorting batteries, if it detects a misplacement, it can pick the item up and reposition it correctly.
