This is the most human-like action I’ve ever seen Optimus do.

Meh…it didn’t look embarrased

A remote operator might be controlling direction, start and stop, but it is not going to be able to help the robot balance itself. Did you watch at the end where the robot able to fall and rebalance itself? It is difficult enough for a human to do that in real-time. It will be impossible for a remote operator to help Optimus balance itself in the middle of falling.

Atlas did it 5 years ago

Lol what. If they had the latency and fidelity to pull off that degree of finesse after tripping while under teleoperation then that's even more impressive than autonomous control. What would that even look like? Put the teleoperator on a slope and kick their legs if the robot leg slips so they can adjust the robot properly? For obvious reasons, the walking was always autonomous, even at We, Robot.

Quick recovery….there is some impressive coordination of sensors, software analysis and hardware response happening there.

God damn it I dislike Musk but the man is cooking.

Don't think this could possibly be teleoperated. The teleportator would not also slip and could not react so naturally. But is this real video or a render from on chip training?

Since it was blind, I can’t help wondering how it would compare to a normal person walking around blindfolded

Elon tweeted a couple other things about it, basically it is a blind Optimus testing the new ability to walk on uneven surfaces. They are planning to add support for vision

I love the capabilities of the Optimus, and have invested in Tesla accordingly. I think it’s going to be a $100billlion+ market. But honestly, I want to my home automation robot to look a bit more like a robot than a distinct human. I guess one option is that you leave it in a closet and it only works around the house when you’re asleep or out of the house.

And it was blind!

I think if it can converse like a human with open ai level conversation with little lag, it would be the most natural way to speak to automation in your home.

I'm so much more impressed by these few seconds on irregular terrain than I was by any of the long, pre-programmed sequences in a normal space.

Oh look, we found one of the people who actually managed to get into Sora today

Thank god this guy clipped a 4 second clip from the 20 second clip. I couldn't be bothered to watch the entire thing Tesla posted. I'm a busy man.

A bot posting about a bot on a bot owner platform

I do not want to wake up in the middle of the night to find a robot in my bedroom

so... tell me again why I would purchase this in the future? am I gonna hunt it in a forest? Can it fold laundry, and mop floors, or put together Ikea furniture? edit: just trying to understand what we could do with these humanoid droids. Would be cool to have one that could do chores, so not sure why everyone is downvoting.

Welcome to research and development. If you could get to the end right away, it was probably not worth doing.

If this shit is what tesla can come with to date, i’m really concern.

In the first clip it looks like it’s fleeing the facility

The Jay Leno maneuver

There's the little mini GPTars (Chat GPT powered tars robot from Insterstellar) on Instagram and youtube to watch.

One of the worlds most valuable companies was a bookstore on the useless internet. We do not always know what to do with new tech. Steve Jobs saw a demo of the first computer mouse at Xerox and realized they didn't know what a good innovation it was.

"I'M TRYING TO MAKE THE BED, DAVE."

I Robot

Atlas cost millions of dollars and was never designed for mass production and any real world usage. It has been discontinued because it was only meant for short demo and research. Optimus is designed for mass manufacturing (millions annually) and low cost ($25-30k)

I think you are missing a few 0s. It could replace and even expand the global labor market which is currently 3.4 billions. You multiple the total labors with the % that can be replaced by Optimus and how much revenue/salary each Optimus can earn annually and figure out the actual market value will be in trillions.

You’ve all seen Boston Dynamics have you? I mean, seriously!

What if it's shaped like a cat, and is doing assassination-like moves?

It's to setup a base on Mars or the Moon. Not for you to setup camping.

Thank you, that's the answer I was looking for. Since there's 8 other companies doing humanoid robots, I was curious to see what the purpose of this one was.

Well if it's adorable it can get away with anything, of course

Wonder how Tesla can catch up when Boston dynamics been doing this for decades

Atlas is not made to be mass produced at <$30k. This is.

Cool imitation of human activity. What would be more impressive is its ability to analyze the likelihood of this happening and responding accordingly - such as , loose soil below at 45° grade, chance this is unstable and will give way, avoid, etc.

The uncanny valley.

These things are going to be everywhere soon! Can’t wait to see how this revolutionizes everything we do and how we experience the world

It's teleoperated, but the limbs/balance systems are autonomous.

😂😂😂😂

That's would be crazy🤣

It's not teleported.

It'll probably be $50k starting out. Maybe $30k in 10 years.

That would be incredible.

Elon has semi-promised catgirls. Guess where I DO want to find those... ;)

Any Semi from Elon is definitely not one I want to see.

Yeah, it has potential to turn society upside down. The societal response will determine the type of future we have, either helping to bring the poor up to a higher standard of living or creating an even larger wealth gap and leaving billions without jobs or any meaningful income. But think we all know the trajectory of where this is likely going.

LLM’s are the saving grace to all. There will be one man/child teams downloading neural nets for any and all robotic equipment. It just needs to be trained in a virtual environment with proper parameters. BD used human coding. This doesn’t and won’t.

To add, this is a race to whoever has the most compute power/energy expenditure now.

Just like the cyber truck was 500+ mile range and under $50k?  Or FSD coast to coast in 2016? I will be impressed when Tesla is actually on par with any of their many competitors in the robotics space. Right now Optimus is a distant last in capabilities. Cost doesn’t matter if it is still a decade behind in capabilities.

Are they just throwing the robot to the wild and using the data to learn how to walk 😁

One landed rocket and SpaceX went from the worst rocket agency in the world to the most advanced.

The comparison here is more akin to “calling SpaceX the most advanced when they haven’t achieved orbit yet”  Optimus capabilities aren’t anywhere near the level of competition. They might be eventually, but walking it shuffle down a small hill is something has been for over a decade at this point.

No ones calling them the most advanced. We are merely stating they have the potential to be.

My response was to the guy saying this robot is meant to be mass produced at $30k. My point is that price doesn’t matter if it is thus far incapable of performing basic actions. Just like HW3 was so efficient per watt, and ended up not being powerful enough, making that efficiency utterly pointless.

The most use case is likely to be replacing workers doing repetitive tasks. Especially in places where the public doesn't have access (so way less unpredictable danger, like children running or pets). But I could definitely see a troupe of them building a Boring machine and using it to dig a hole in the mountain flank on Mars/Moon, and then assemble a prefabricated base in the hole such made. To have protection from cosmic rays. They might not need the boring machine initially either, but they'll definitely need some manner of protection. Optimus will not need that protection, just energy and a place to charge, and the ability to receive instructions (like build at x emplacement, and coordinate with the 5 other robots).

Why would you even believe that

I don't get why Tesla decides to waste their time on this.

Even if it retails for $100k, Atlas was still not made to be mass produced at these prices.

> Thank god this guy clipped a 4 second clip from the 20 second clip. I couldn't be bothered to watch the entire thing Tesla posted. I'm a busy man. And Reddit condensed it all into a single image...

Simply because they need something for fan boys to gawk over and say "see? Tesla IS relevant!" Unsupervised FSD (Level 4/5) is years away, if ever. Robotaxi is dependent on FSD, so likely 10 years out at best. Car sales are flat. Semi is a dud. Cybertruck is a dud. TSLA is currently a meme stock, nothing supports its 110 P/E.

I know, people, probably including myself, could not recover from that.
