Optimus Gen 2 is Tesla's second-generation humanoid robot. Tesla, the company known for its electric cars, solar panels and batteries, has also been working hard on developing humanoid robots that can perform various tasks and interact with humans. The company has recently unveiled its latest version of its robot, called Optimus Gen 2, which is lighter, faster, smoother and more capable than its predecessor. Optimus Gen 2 is the second generation of Tesla's humanoid robot. It is designed to be a general-purpose machine that can assist humans in various domains, such as manufacturing, construction, healthcare and entertainment.

Tesla's humanoid robot has come a long way - it was first revealed just as a human in a suit, and now, Optimus can poach an egg like a real chef. The company shared a clip of its overhauled Generation 2 Optimus robot in a new video, showing the nearly six-foot-tall machine delicately picking up before switching hands and placing it down without breaking the outer shell. The demonstration video also showed Optimus flexing its fingers, doing squats, and walking across the room - activities necessary for when it replaces humans in the workplace. Elon Musk unveiled its robotics ambitions in 2021, teasing the humanoid robot using a person in a spandex suit. A prototype was not revealed until a year later - but the machine was clunky and failed to impress investors.
