It is impressive, as making full-sized a bipedal robot walk is a HUDGE achievement. Boston Dynamics set a very high bar. The real question is "what is it for?". I cannot see an application for a bipedal robot over a non-humanoid specialized equipment.

[@Colombiaguapo]

⁠@@volo870 No, it’s not impressive. Bipedal robots have existed for the last half-century. It’s even less impressive when you consider the idea that bipedal walking is one of the least efficient methods of movement.

[@Raptorman0909]

The fanbois were all saying the Teslabot was going to cost $10K and as someone that's worked in automation and robotics since the early 80's that idea made me laugh. The actual robots that exist and have been in service for about 6 decades are typically of the 5 or 6 axis of the anthropomorphic robotic arm type from companies like Kuka and Fanuc and they generally run over $70K and it's not unusual for them to be over $100K. In the kind of numbers that Fanuc and Kuka make robots, in the low thousands per year, the economies of scale are limited but if Tesla is able to sell, say, 100K per year it is possible the cost could get down towards $30K or maybe even less, but Tesla will never sell 100K Teslabots in the entire existence of the company let alone a year. And then there's the question of what Teslabot will actually be able to do and it's useful to compare it to other robots that already exist. First, there are robots that can lift several tonnes and move it at speed and then position with sub millimeter accuracy. At the other end there is automation that can handle over 130,000 pieces per hour, over 36 pieces per second, and position all of them with sub 100um precision. When you watch Teslabot it's f'ing slow, which will make the managers of the assembly line pissed because time is money and Musk's robots are SLLOOOOWWWWW. Pay attention in the video when Teslabot picks up an object and places it into a box -- it doesn't actually 'place' it into the box, it gets close and then DROPS IT into the box. They do not have touch figured out and incorporating the tech needed to improve the handoff situations is more than Musk is going to allow be put into Teslabot because, like the downgraded Cybertruck, the features Musk promised are too expensive.

I was today years old when I realized ASIMO is a reference to Asimov

[@markiangooley]

It took me about a second and then I cringed a bit…

[@lucofparis4819]

Well, at least their twenty years old robot was a huge revolution back then. It did kinda earn this reference from the sheer technological leap it made in walking robots' degrees of motion.

This was an AWESOME video!! You guys rock 🎉 Thanks for all your work and investigation. Exposing people like this who hurt society for the bugs they really are.

Thank you for including the water tower and acknowledging the fandom of the best animated show of all time.

Great work as usual CSS. Thumbs up.

[@Pushing_Pixels]

Until I see Optimus stand up unaided after falling over, I will continue to fail to be impressed. A humanoid robot that can't stand up after it inevitably falls (or gets pushed), is a hazard, not a help.

Let the Tesla bot and the Boston Dynamik run a Parcours. We will see Elon bot not even clear the first obstacle.

[@evryhndlestakn]

Yes.

Boston dynamics humanoid robot would Destroy the Tesla bot both literally and practically. I'm not joking their robots would rip Those Tesla bots into scrap metal.

Without a doubt a robot boxing match would end after one punch as the Tesla operator runs away

Now that's a fight I'd pay to watch.

[@vylbird8014]

At the moment neither is close to being a usable product. But Boston's appears to be a bit closer.

[@guyjin788]

Honestly I'm shocked at how many people are impressed with Optimus. Boston Dynamics far surpassed this as far back as 2017. Musk is the Edison of our times.

[@lordeisschrank]

if you want a human-shaped servant robot, you subconsciously just want a slave, not a "buddy". No other reason to chose this specific shape, because its clearly not for practicality

[@hermannhinterhauser1227]

don't think so. For specific tasks, there are better shapes, but for general usage and flexibility, a human-shaped would certainly have its advantages. Wheels are more energy - efficient, until you encounter a staircase .... It would need to be highly sofisticated tho.

[@Sinyao]

​@@hermannhinterhauser1227Just saying, but give it 4 legs and let the torso rotate 360°.

[@hermannhinterhauser1227]

@@Sinyao 4 legs will be coumbersome in confined spaces. The practicality aspect also comes more from the fact, that we build and design things with the human shape in mind. If you are shaped like a human, you can easier use tools or navigate through buildings, which are designed to accommodate that shape. That is the point I want to bring across. It is less practicality, but more adaptability.

[@vylbird8014]

There is one potential advantage of humanoid robots - easier integration into environments built for humans. No need to bolt down furniture, cordon of work areas and buy new tools. No need to re-wire the elevators to accept calls over wireless lan, or change the doors so they can be pushed open safely by a trundling chassis. You just buy your mass-produced humanoid bot, give it a mop and bucket, and install the "general purpose cleaning" app. Then you can lay off six human cleaners, because Robomop will work 22 hours a day, seven days a week. Assuming. Two hour-long charging breaks. This does, however, assume the robot actually /works./ No such product yet exists. Boston Dynamics is a long way from that. Tesla is further still.

[@lowpinglag]

3:20 "Everyone wants an Optimus buddy, maybe two" So approximately 16 billion units, that presumably needs daily recharging, some will be stationary but still need power of course, I wonder what that would do to global energy consumption.

[@Sinyao]

Before we even get to that point, think of the material costs of building each unit.

[@chromebomb]

thank you for your service CSS

I start seeing red flags when Enron - I mean “Elon” - says the words “at scale”, or when he describes a not-particularly-interesting idea as “quite profound”. At least we didn’t see him dancing.
