Over The Horizon

🚨🤖 New videos of Tesla Optimus have been posted online. One shows the humanoid robot running. The other shows its latest hand design. At first glance, both clips appear to show major progress. But a deeper technical analysis tells a more complicated story. In this @overthehorizon episode, Scott Walter, Gustav Andersson and Mehrdad Farimi break down what is really happening in the footage. From gait mechanics and estimated running speed to the surprising flaws in the foot and hand design, this discussion reveals what Tesla has solved and what the company still needs to fix before Optimus can work in real factories and homes. We analyse the flight phase, toe-off behaviour, actuator layout, thumb anatomy, DOF constraints and why Tesla still has not shown Optimus walking and executing dexterous hand movements at the same time. These insights matter because they tell us how close Tesla is to delivering a practical general purpose humanoid. 🚨 Watch and join the discussion in the comments below 👇🏽 #Tesla #Optimus #TeslaOptimus #HumanoidRobots #AI #Robotics #ScottWalter #GustavAndersson #MehrdadFarimi #OverTheHorizon
