Tesla's Optimus Bot Faces Production Challenges, Slashes 2025 Target
Tesla's ambitious plans for its humanoid robot, Optimus Bot, face challenges. The company is revising its production targets and grappling with technical hurdles, including hand design issues that have led to employee queries about feasibility.
Tesla's Optimus Bots are currently assisting in factories, sorting batteries and undertaking control walks. However, the company is facing questions from employees about the practicality of complex humanoid robots in production use.
The hands of the Optimus Bot, the most technically challenging part, are causing delays. Tesla is now redesigning them and the forearms to improve construction. This redesign has contributed to a reduction in the 2025 production target, from 5000 to 2000 units.
The departure of Milan Kovac, former head of robotics technology at Tesla in June, has also led to delays. There is no available information on his successor.
Tesla is working to overcome technical hurdles in the Optimus Bot's hand design, with production targets adjusted accordingly. The company is yet to announce a new head of robotics technology following Milan Kovac's departure.
