Tesla recently presented a look at its new Optimus humanoid robot during the AI Day event where it is shown taking steps up a stage. Now, the company showcases a new look at the robot that is seen lifting up a 1,000-point grand piano off of the ground.
An actuator is a machine that functions by converting energy signals into motion and in the Optimus' design, it transforms into a pulley connected to the top of the instrument whilst a man is reaching for the pedals and the piano rises higher and away. The Optimus robot has 28 actuators once it is ready and functions with the same battery used in Tesla's other electric vehicles as well.
