Approx. human height (~173 cm) and ~57 kg with a stated ~20 kg payload target. Integrates Tesla's FSD-derived AI stack; later iterations add upgraded high-DOF hands. As of mid-2026, deployed only internally at Tesla for data collection and task training; not yet commercially available. REVIEW NOTE: sources disagree on generation labeling (whether 'Gen 3'/'V3' is a full new robot or refers to upgraded hands on a Gen 2 body); the fuller V3 reveal was reported as expected later in 2026. Specs below reflect the conservatively-sourced Gen 2 body figures.","formFactor":"humanoid","maturityStage":"pilot","specs":{"mass_kg":57,"height_cm":173,"drive_mode":"bipedal","payload_kg_target":20},"manufacturerSerial":null,"reviewStatus":"reviewed","sources":[{"url":"https://www.tesla.com/we-robot","label":"Tesla — Optimus","title":"Tesla — Optimus","mediaType":"article","sourceName":"Tesla","publishedAt":"2026-01-01"},{"url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimus_(robot)","label":"Optimus (robot) — Wikipedia","title":"Optimus (robot) — Wikipedia","mediaType":"article","sourceName":"Wikipedia","publishedAt":"2026-01-01"}],"aliases":["Optimus","Tesla Bot"],"collisionRisk":"low","reviewNote":null,"createdAt":"2026-05-25T17:24:19.960Z","updatedAt":"2026-05-25T18:50:54.941Z"}
