India, July 8 -- Recent reports from China's supply chain indicate that Tesla may be halting production of its humanoid robot, Optimus. TrendForce reports that Tesla currently faces two major challenges: limited battery life and difficulties with hardware-software integration.

While improvements in motion planning and energy optimization through AI could help address battery performance, fundamental bottlenecks remain-particularly in the efficiency of core hardware components, such as joint motors and transmission systems.

Additionally, reports of payload issues with Optimus' dexterous hand point to a complex integration of precision mechanics, miniature actuators, and AI-driven control systems that also require sophisticated human beha...
