Tesla’s Optimus Secret That nVidia Can’t Copy | Dr. Scott Walter

[@r.a.monigold9789]

Software can be hard Hardware (well padded) can be soft Tesla knows when to soften up the hard problems and play hardball when it matters. Brian and DOC Scott are a good resource for tough issues - Thank you BOTH for sharing.

[@Nerdmom1701]

👍🏻🙏🏻❤️ Great to see and hear Dr. Walter!😃

[@danielmadison4451]

Great great video Brian. One of the best. You got the most out of Doctor Scott with your excellent questions. Thanks!🙂

[@gcauldwell]

Doctor Scott in his travels proves content superiority over technical perfection

[@babyUFO.]

completely buffaloed

[@JamieReneeVonTeez]

Great interesting episode. Love the fascinating subject. Scott’s audio was so bad and distracting to fully enjoy and absorb his incredible knowledge.

[@peterjohn5834]

Amazing discussion

[@h.e.c.]

Thank you for yet another great video! One question for both of you, to which I have not found an answer yet: Does (or will soon) the Optimus have any kind of temperature sensing like temperature sensors in hands (and feet) or thermal camera? This will be necessary for sure once deployed in general use to prevent melting or feeding its limbs or other exposed parts. And even in such controlled environments like factory floors there is a non-zero chance of encountering objects or surfaces with temperatures outside of the expected specs, like some compressed gas leakage or electrical / mechanical part overheating and so on.

[@h.e.c.]

*freezing (not feeding)

[@BH195829]

Excellent video. Great guest. 👍🌎

[@ec92009y]

The sound is horrible.

[@nemoymodular]

That's because the air in Switzerland is THAT CLEAN. You don't even have enough molecules to transport soundwaves... :)

[@rudyromo]

I focused on the message. He was in Zurich.... Hopefully Starlink will make all long distance communications better.

[@johnfitzpatrick8310]

Scott needs to carry a real microphone on his travels.

[@MaximGhost]

So? When Doc Scott talks, you listen

[@humanplaystation]

But the content, impeccable

[@LJ-jq8og]

I need "Dr. Scott."💪❤

[@humanplaystation]

Thanks for the knowledge

[@doug3691]

Good times ahead, perhaps even approaching Optimal!

[@ntal5859]

The reason why the pinky has the extra movement is simple , the pinky and index fingers on human hand have 2 tendons while the ring and middle finger do not, the extra allows pinky to curl the hand, I learnt this after seeing a hand specialist.

[@gacattack1234]

Pinky palm articulation may be there so pinky can touch the thumb like every finger for actions that require similar movement.

[@jlsupak5185]

I wish Scott would use a better microphone, otherwise great interview.

[@bradappel9928]

This was a great video interesting

[@DougJessee]

Normally, I have no problems understanding him, but today he sounded… muffled is not quite right, but I assume it is the lack of quality microphone. Please Dr, get a good mic to travel with!

[@FutureAzA]

It isn't his job. He does this as a courtesy for us. There's no way I'm asking him to put himself out for a favor to the community.

[@205rider8]

It’s the substance that matters, not the quality of the mic!!

[@dannyboy2522-q7d]

Hard to hear Scott

[@aleperbo]

Agreed. English is not to my native language and I struggled at times to understand what he is saying.

[@sb5580]

suppose you wanted to save money by making a symmetric hand that could be used on either you left or right arm. That would be making a hand with a pinky that becomes a thumb. Not saying that anyone is trying to do this, but putting a little more power and flexibility in the pinky is an interesting idea. When scott was talking about cats at one point and crash testing a car. I thought it would be cool to crash test robots in a fall to see if they could land with least damage. That would be a great video. But this is a case where you want to get the simulation passing 99% way before you start dropping your bots from however high...

[@Thomasvanblijswijk]

Great talk but audio could use improvement 😅

[@nemoymodular]

Zürich airport prices are in a league of their own. Zürich is expensive too, but the Airport?! Another level.

[@h.e.c.]

At least the horrible McDonald hotel there is no more ... 🍔

[@curtisyoung7107]

I am of the thought that neurolink projects of bypassing damaged pathways between the brain and other body parts would be of great value integrated into Optimus bot training datasets both remote robot control and limb movement therapy rehabilitation. Having a physical world AI solution implementation to human movements and reactions could advance both medical and mechanical progress at an accelerated rate. I'm hoping that neurolink advances can be developed to the point that medical treatments can be done without some of the unwanted side effects of current drug therapy.

[@steverobbins4872]

I think the mysterious 21st degree of freedom is the unique ability to extend the middle finger farther in length, which Elon plans to use to salute other robot makers.

[@penderic3415]

Optimax challenges all other humanoids to a round of table tennis. Winner gets gold plated.

[@nascentangel]

Dr Walter’s audio is VERY poor. It’s hard going listening to him. Hope you can sort it out on the next video. I am tune this time. Sorry

[@arndt3203]

optimi are coming so big!

[@stan4osu]

🤯

[@imaro2358]

FSD is a much different training set from a robot training set. Moreover, Tesla won’t have the huge head-start they have with FSD. The FSD race should be Tesla’s to lose at this point. Robots and other automation is different. The competition including nvidia paid attention to the FSD race and are determined not to fall behind this time. That said, there will be a number of huge differentiators like Tesla’s manufacturing, hands, feet, actuators, ability to learn complex skills quickly, etc.

[@davidbeppler3032]

FSD training set is very similar to robot training set. That is a tree. That is a car. That is a cat. That is a building. That is an emergency vehicle. That is a..... billions of hours saved.

[@jebes909090]

​@davidbeppler3032 no navagating the real.world and doing random tasks is FAAAAR harder than driving on roads with fixed rules for everything. Optimus will never get there. Fsd probably wont either.

[@BobbyDraws.me2]

Please get Dr. Scott a new microphone. It’s very hard to understand…especially since he’s using big words! Lol

[@RonLWilson]

Where the smaller bot companies may shine is in niche markets that require a bit of investment but are too small potatoes for Tesla to invest. One such (potentially huge but never the less niche) market is military applications of humanoid bots. Tesla may (for a variety of reasons) may opt to shy away from that potential market leaving it open to the smaller companies.

[@davidbeppler3032]

Boston Dynamics wants the military contracts. They can back flip and toss a car!

[@RonLWilson]

@@davidbeppler3032 While being able to do that might have some military value, simply the ability to carry, aim, fire, and reload a rifle might suffice, and to better be able take a hit would be an added bonus. I am thinking 1X robotics would be a good candidate in that they are a Norwegian company that share a border with Russia and thus might have more skin in the game to do that, plus they already make security bots.

[@johnfitzpatrick8310]

​@@RonLWilson I share your interest in 1X's NEO. However due to their light weight (66 lbs), they can likely be stopped in their tracks by a stiff breeze.

[@RonLWilson]

@@johnfitzpatrick8310 Perhaps they can be trained to lean into such breezes.

[@RonLWilson]

@@johnfitzpatrick8310 or maybe just crawl given such a breeze.

[@pkm61129]

Golden Rule: Don’t push the start button until your guest has their Audio set up right!! Had to quit this one half way through…

[@FutureAzA]

It's this or nothing. He's not a KZbinr, just an expert in the profession. He doesn't travel with studio gear.

[@norrisharrington3332]

What is the expected life of the joints?

[@davidbeppler3032]

2 million years.

[@saltvatn]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✌🏻

[@penderic3415]

Optimist comes with crystal balls. Deep Thought calls Grok. Grok calls Optimus. Optimus talks to us. Will there be a need for a "Charismatic Influencer" mission.?

[@bishop1827]

🎉

[@fredhearty1762]

NVIDIA's new tool kit is parallel to what Tesla invented starting back a dozen years ago. It may help the laggards in the humanoid robot competition, but it's likely too late to be of any value to OEMs interested in autonomous vehicles -- where the game is near over.

[@davidbeppler3032]

Gotta walk before you can run. Nvidia is helping Legacy Auto cut corners and save a decade of internal development that they decided not to do 10 years ago because it was hard and they do not care about stock price in 10 years, only stock price next week.

[@darylfoster7944]

Can it do the Vulcan greeting?

[@alexmckenna1171]

Hopefully not the Elon greeting... AKA Adolf's..

[@lesbendo6363]

"The collective" where is the Borg when you need to surpass Tesla! 🇨🇦

[@TomTom-cm2oq]

Great video, bad sound Dr.

[@timnewell4015]

Will have to watch another time where I don't need earbuds.

[@EpicStrategies578]

If they can have the hands/brains of Optimus solve rubix cube, I'd say it's complete! 😂

[@waynerussell6401]

[@msdm83]

AI catches up quickly. Teslas advantage will be experience getting to huge scales quickly.

[@FutureAzA]

That's a good point.

[@fivestar6015]

Stopped watching. Couldn't understand the Dr. He needs a better mic or something.

[@evitoonbundit2453]

Optimus the ultimate handyman...

[@johnfitzpatrick8310]

Humanoid robots are an endlessly compelling technology and an exciting race to deploy at scale. I understand the need for a certain level of secrecy around Optimus development as our Chinese friends can copy everything in no time. But I really wish we could know more. I'm particularly interested in how they will be supported in the field, which nobody is talking about. Beyond their manufacturing expertise, this may be yet another advantage for Tesla, compared to Figure and Agility, as they already have a large field support organization.

[@iainmrodgers9991]

Couldn't hear what he was saying. Gave up.

[@Didosprada2]

Why hasn’t KZbin added automatic ai-enhancement of poor audio, that has been trained with the voice of each KZbinr if they consent?!

[@allenhunt3070]

Scott Walker's audio is sketchy.

[@tomwoggle9411]

Tesla's $yber$taffel robots are so amazing, especially the hand-up display they come with. I'm sure these robots will make Elon reich for 1000 years to come.

[@johnfitzpatrick8310]

He's already mastered the salute.

[@ranig2848]

Tesla will repeat the FSD training methodology for Optimus. Initially everything will be remotely operated and for proper remote operation you need a fully capable hand. Tesla will take videos and kinematics of remote operations and will use the tools and compute that they already built to get unsupervised Optimus…

[@vicentevaldez1696]

Optimus is an American robot walks like high on drugs😂😂

[@ssanpeterson]

sorry bro. just couldn’t keep dealing with Scott’s mic.

[@babyUFO.]

yea the secret of bypassing the ai and using remote operators

[@WailuaMark]

Dr. Scott Walter is so interesting to listen to, but it was a struggle. His end of the audio was very garbled. Please invest in better gear. ... EarPods.

[@Scarlet33ph4r4oh]

Tesla has nothing on nvidia and Disney partnership, Disney with animatronic begun robotics in USA and even prosthetics where improved by disneys experience with animatronics and trying to perfectly replicate human behavior. and Disney has been focusing on emotional expressions and reactivity. Disney emotional AI bots with Nvidia AI are the most emotional expressive I have seen. disney has unreal engine 5 for gaming and if you look at avatar hulk and Thanos and iron men and lionking then you can see Disney can simulate all the compute and data needed.

[@FutureAzA]

Neat!

[@BobbyDraws.me2]

This proves to me that God’s creation of the human hand is far more amazing than I ever noticed.

[@davidbeppler3032]

Wait till you learn about octopus tentacles! Far more amazing than human hands.

[@davidbeppler3032]

Any Robotics company filled with geniuses and has more than $10 billion in capital can challenge Tesla in the bots race. What other company has more than $10 billion?

[@Phantoma3]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Gabriel.Ponce.De.Leon.777]

Nice hair do Scott.

[@keithdhirst]

I had to stop listening as sound too bad

[@gerhardhiemer2786]

I do not understand Scott

[@beaconfish]

He is way too tall😂😂😂

[@Will-be-free]

I don't really understand the objection that simulators don't have real world physics. Can't you train the simulator with real world physics to make it better?

Well done.

If one gets different results from different tax attorneys, they’re probably making too much money, and in nefarious ways. I would expect _exactly_ the same result from any competent person doing my taxes.
