Tesla AI (FSD)
Relies on Tesla’s FSD Computer and a pure-vision neural network, utilizing human-like depth perception and object recognition to master industrial manufacturing without LIDAR.
The first humanoid to integrate NACS (North American Charging Standard) support, enabling autonomous plug-in or wireless charging via the same infrastructure as Tesla vehicles.

Primary internal deployment at Tesla’s Giga Texas and Fremont factories for battery handling, part logistics, and quality inspection pilots.
Initially internal industrial operations, followed by external commercial rental programs and future high-volume residential assistance.
Upgrading from Optimus Gen 2, the 2.5 version introduces tactile sensors and 22+ degrees of freedom in the hands for delicate tool handling. It also marks the first time Optimus integrates the NACS charging standard, allowing it to autonomously recharge using Tesla’s vehicle infrastructure.
Bi-pedal walking and human-like stance allow navigation in human spaces.
Hands and arms are engineered to handle tools and controls made for humans.
Built to perform a wide variety of tasks that humans usually do.
