Tesla Patent Describes Flexible Touch Sensors for Optimus

A Tesla patent application describes flexible robotic touch sensors, explains how they detect pressure, and presents two approaches to manufacturing curved sensor arrays. The report links this technology to Optimus, although the available text does not detail that application or include dates or hardware specifications. The document focuses on two technical areas: how pressure detection works and the manufacturing methods for curved surfaces. The source does not indicate whether these designs are under active development, how many sensors they include, or when they could be tested.
