# Tesla peine à rendre fiables les mains de son humanoïde Optimus, selon The Information

> According to The Information, whose report Futurism relays, Tesla is failing to build strong, reliable hands for its Optimus humanoid robot.

Published on 2026-09-30 · Updated on 2026-10-01

The weak point of Tesla's humanoid robot is its hands. According to The Information, the company is struggling to make them durable and to assemble them reliably. The problem has reportedly occupied it for more than a year.

Rather than building tactile sensors directly into the hands, the manufacturer is developing a “sensory glove” that can be replaced without switching the robot off.

The robots also struggle to learn simple tasks, despite hundreds of thousands of hours of training data. It sometimes takes them several days to manage it.

Futurism notes that in 2024, Elon Musk promised “a thousand to two thousand robots” working in Tesla's factories as early as 2025.
