It even slips and catches itself. Pretty good progress.

Just wait till it gets approval/learns to use its hands in this situation. 👀

After Tesla released the video of Optimus walking upstairs, there was some question about whether it was capable of walking downstairs. I feel like this video answers that question.

Answers it in spades. Especially the spot where it slips, then corrects itself. Then they replay the same scene, and it hustles its ass down the hill in a hilarious fashion. And these things are white, so it'd be pretty clear if they just cleaned it up and told it to cycle through the challenge again. It's pretty good progress.

Kind of looks like it’s been sent out to clean

Daily helping me train the FSD is my Zen. Yesterday I just let it wander around a parking lot and neighborhood until I got bored and turned it around.

Interesting that they said it was walking blind, without video input.

thats pretty impressive to me. if someone blinded folded me and put me at a random downhill, I might slip and fall.

Can someone explain to me why we are so focused on humanoid robots? I understand that investors and laymen see this and think “WOW DA FUTCHA IS NOOOOOW!!” But like I seriously don’t understand the allure of making a robot where 98% of the engineering is used to make it not fall over lmao. What possible use case will this have outside of just being a neat novelty to serve you beer. Serious question.

It looks like it shat his pants lol

Robots don't need a salary

Yeah but why is the robot human shaped? The robot serving me drinks doesn’t need to be a walking humanoid with facial features and sensual voice, just needs to hand me a drink and be less expensive than paying a human. Forcing humanoid robots just seems like a waste of money.

Humans have created/built out everything for humans to use, so once the robot can make all the movements that humans make, they will be able to perform wide range of the manual tasks with out having to make special attachments or purpose built robots for specific tasks.

Because we should be building robots to function in a world designed for humans

Funnily enough, this latest video reminds me of FSD and how it reacts.

Because a lot of current tasks need to be done by humans. We can re-engineer process, however, it'd be easier to leverage existing ones and engineer for that.

Lucky for us that it didn't get out of sensor view. The Order could not have saved us if that had happened.

It looks like it's shit it's pants. Not to be overly negative, but we've had this level of tech for a decade. It's always impressive to see, but progress, if we're being honest, is far too slow with optimus. I know people are going to hate on me for this, and it's fine, this is still technically very impressive, but I can't help but see that we haven't broken any new barriers here, it's all just playing catch up to boston dynamics. [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ZTwlGIELlJ4](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ZTwlGIELlJ4) atlas also has its issues but ... it's doing a semi-complex task and looking fairly natural in it's walking (yes I know I'm comparing outdoor to indoor, but just watch atlas doing parkor shit while this thing is kicking round wood chips, and who knows how many fall over takes we don't get to see). The AI revolution isn't really delivering that well for this robot yet the optimus team really needs to speed up and take more risks. Again, very technically impressive, but you're also running a business that needs to see actual results rather than just tech demos. Is that overly harsh? It probably is.

Boston dynamic’s atlas can walk with its center of mass beyond the support of its feet. Optimus like many older walking robots seem to keep its COM on top of its feet still.

Damn they posted this?

I take it back, it's blindfolded (no vision)? Looks like it's doing pretty well if so.

I think the order they're doing things will make sense in the end. They've mastered low latency teleoperation which will be perfect for training. But then they realise there's no point going all out on training until they've perfected the fine motor movements. And sensing/haptic feedback. Hence the new hand/arm version. (I'd like to see it play the piano) So once they've nailed down those elements and tweaked manufacturing and planned the production line, they can tidy up the easier things like balance, as seen in this video. At every stage people will compare them to the other robot companies and say they're slow, but at some stage it will all come together with a huge training run and they'll simultaneously be able to pump out thousands. I think it will suddenly be the most capable and lowest priced humanoid out there.

Get a strong walking-home-from-the-bar-and-somehow-end-up-in-the-woods-vibe here.

I believe this style of walking is the zero-moment method.

Because we created a World designed around our form

Wheels can't go up and down stairs.  Bipedal motion can.

You really need robot legs to go up stairs, no other possibility?

I didn't say there were no other possibilities

I haven’t seen one going up a hill.

lol. Comments like this never fail to make me laugh. Folks are always moving the goal posts on what proof they need to know a thing is real.
