Elon Musk has repeatedly highlighted the hand (and forearm) as one of the toughest engineering challenges for Tesla’s Optimus Robot.
A new Patent (for presumably Optimus 3) shows Tesla is using human anatomy to recreate a tendon-driven robotic hand and forearm assembly that closely mimics a human system.
Basically, Tesla is replacing human muscles with actuators and tendons with cables to replicate human dexterity.
The Tesla Engineering team is on another level. Optimus Gen 3 reveal is going to be incredible.
Space Perspective plans to take people 100,000 feet up using its space balloon, Spaceship Neptune.
The six-hour trip offers a comfortable ride with food, a bar, Wi-Fi, and large windows for amazing views.
It is designed to give a smooth and relaxing journey to the edge of space.
