Tesla's bi-pedal robot Optimus is now capable of self-calibrating limbs using vision.
The company shared the update with a post from their official X handle, stating that the robot was now capable tracking and locating its limbs in space, using vision and encoders embedded in the robot's joints.

The machine learning algorithms powering Optimus run completely on-board, and allow the robot to do things like sorting objects autonomously.
What is impressive is that the robot can sort dynamically, which means even if the pieces are moved around, it can automatically find and recalibrate its limbs to the new position.
This also allows the robot to extend its full range of motions, as demonstrated by the yoga poses at the end of the video.

The robot has come a long way from it early demos, which weren't much more than a man dressed in a robot suit. The team has been slowly making updates since the project's announcement at AI Day in 2021.
In March this year, Tesla demonstrated several robots, who were all capable of independent movement and could team up to complete tasks efficiently.
