"The primary patent, titled 'Mechanically Actuated Robotic Hand,' details a cable/tendon-driven system where actuators are positioned in the forearm rather than the hand. Each finger features four degrees of freedom, while the wrist adds two more."
"Three thin, flexible control cables per finger extend from the forearm actuators, pass through the wrist, and connect to the finger segments. Integrated channels within the finger phalanges guide these cables to enable independent bending without unintended motion."
Tesla is set to unveil an advanced version of the Optimus humanoid robot, featuring new patents for its hands and arms. These patents focus on a mechanically actuated, tendon-driven architecture. Heavy actuators are relocated to the forearm, allowing for a sophisticated wrist design and innovative joint assemblies. Each finger has four degrees of freedom, while the wrist adds two more. This design aims to achieve human-like dexterity while ensuring lightweight construction and high-volume manufacturing capabilities.
