The human hand has 27 degrees of freedom (DOF): Fingers: 21 DOF, with 4 DOF in each finger, 3 for extension and flexion, and 1 for abduction and adduction Thumb: 5 DOF Wrist: 6 DOF for rotation and translation Palm: 3 DOF for translation and 3 DOF for rotation

It's ALWAYS a good video with Scott. I'm an engineer and I appreciate how smoothly he "puts the cookies on the lower shelf" to make concepts accessible to even non-tech people. The smarter, better engineers can explain things for the non-tech people and he's way more capable as an engineer as I am/was. My skills are more narrow.

I Uber with my Tesla and I drive in FSD all the time. About mid way through my trips I always ask, “would you feel comfortable in a fully autonomous car”. They would say no, but then I’d explain that the car was doing all the driving so far and not me. It blows their mind.

One little problem that no one seems to understand: if you ramp up the production of goods with the bots and you put production on an exponential scale, then Earth will run out of resources in a few decades. Let's say by 2050 we'll have 10 billion bots. Today we have around 300 million manufacturing jobs. If only 60% of the bots will be working in manufacturing, then we will still be able to produce 20 times as much stuff as we can now. In an infinite world this would be amazing. On our finite Earth this will be a disaster. By 2070 we will hit a hard wall and society/ economy will collapse. Extreme poverty will set in, population will fall to 1 billion. Pollution will also skyrocket. Is exponential growth sustainable? No.

I think the other DOF are in the palm of the hand, not the wrist. If we couldn't curl our palm around something it would be hard to hold a hammer effectively. Move your thumb in toward your pinky and look at what your palm does. Pull all of your fingers and your thumb together to one single point and see what your palm does... There are seperate bones in our plam that allow it to bend/curl around things.

[@cascadiadesign]

Agree - Tesla's goal should not be making a low-cost bot. A bot with a wider use case will pay for itself quicker than one a limited use case. These are general purpose bots - meaning you haven't anticipated all the situations where you will put them to work. The owner of a limited lower cost "general purpose" bot will quickly regret not spending more for increased capability.

[@briansaddress]

Maybe the thumb will have same DoF as fingers?

[@darwinboor1300]

Thanks Herbert and Scott. In modern prosthetics degrees of freedom correspond to motion control units (1 motor = 1 degree of freedom). Passive extension using a spring-type mechanism is not considered to be a degree of freedom since it has no voluntary control. Complex life on this planet typically employs 2 or more degrees of freedom at each joint with flexion and extension being the primary antagonist motions. Other common pairings include abduction-adduction and internal-external rotation. Optimus uses only flexion motors in the fingers and thumbs and passive spring-like extension plus an abduction motor and passive adduction in the thumb. To achieve fine manipulation active extension and thumb adduction is manditory. Adding these highly desirable motions will add 10 degrees of freedom to the hand (2 extension motors × (4 fingers + 1 thumb)). Add 1 motor for active adduction of the thumb and you have 11 degrees of freedom added to the hand! Rotational antagonistic motor-tendon pairs are very compact and efficient mechanical units for achieving both strength and fine motor control at a distance from the motion. Thanks be to Mother Nature. PS: This is over a decade old computer controlled prosthetics technology. As is the known requirement for active antagonism to efficiently achieve fine motor control.

[@HeartCare-du4ub]

I would tend to think that the attention paid to the hand has much to do with Neuralink control as well for those who require robotic prosthetics. Love the show!

Teleoperators will become obsolete I believe when robots will be able to just observe what the human is doing with its own cameras. Maybe Unitree G1's three finger hand is good enough in many cases! Although there is also a G1 EDU version with more degrees of freedom which may mean five finger hands.

[@cascadiadesign]

The mention of "robot doctors" to fix broken bots conjures up a scenario where an owner calls the nearest "Bot Hospital" which immediately sends out a replacement via Cyber-Taxi and brings back the sick bot for surgery (or maybe fix on-site like Tesla rangers). Maybe we'll have companies that own hundreds of bots and rent them out as needed - by the day, week, month. Kind of like "temps" to back fill factories that have peak demands.

In conventional. industrial robotics we have "End Effectors" These are custom complex tools specifically designed to do a single job. They can be exchanged with a macro command if the task has another sub-task that requires different tools. IMHO Optimus will have a similar connector allowing for pass-through of signal, power, and possibly air this connection will be at elbow allowing for rapid upgrades to existing robots.

[@FortuneOnyeachonam-ps4zw]

Can't wait

[@macrumpton]

I a trying to think of a use case where this degree of copying human mobility is needed. I find that even though I use tools and work with many types of materials, I almost never need movements like spreading my fingers apart. I think it would be far more useful to have a second thumb or double jointed fingers that bend backwards. The idea that we should let human limits define robot's abilities is wrong headed. It would be like saying that cars should have legs instead of wheels and they should only go as fast as we can run.

[@silverwolf6866]

You are wrong. Just typing on a computer keyboard alone requires you to often spread your fingers apart to reach keys. Not to mention countless other tasks or machinery it will be required to use. They must master the "human limits" first before even thinking about further optimization. You saying it should run before it can walk. which is absurd.

[@WhyteHorse2023]

Even something as simple as pulling a trigger on a drill or gun requires finger spreading. Turning a screw/bolt has thumb spreading.

[@axelmarora6743]

You Scott stubbornly repeat that the thumb has only one degree of freedom. That's wrong! In addition to just bending, it also rotates. Even the figure over the human hand missed that. But in the case of that all the fingers has some of that movement. Very can put the finger in a circle, at least slightly. The thumb more than the other fingers. That's the rotation of it.

Unlike FSD which trains by human input by proxy (steering wheel, pedals), the bot's training method would seem to me appropriate for a genetic algorithm linked to a neural net so that it can take human input as the first generation and then adapt it for the differences between it's own body and the human source.

With regards DOF of the human hand here is what seems like a good account from ChatGPT. Even if you exclude the wrist it still accounts for 21: A human hand typically has 27 degrees of freedom. Here's a breakdown of these degrees of freedom: Fingers (4 fingers, excluding the thumb): Each finger has 4 degrees of freedom. Metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint: 2 degrees of freedom (flexion/extension and abduction/adduction) Proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint: 1 degree of freedom (flexion/extension) Distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint: 1 degree of freedom (flexion/extension) Total for 4 fingers: 4 fingers * 4 degrees of freedom = 16 degrees of freedom Thumb: The thumb has 5 degrees of freedom. Carpometacarpal (CMC) joint: 2 degrees of freedom (flexion/extension and abduction/adduction) Metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint: 1 degree of freedom (flexion/extension) Interphalangeal (IP) joint: 1 degree of freedom (flexion/extension) Opposition/reposition: 1 degree of freedom Total for thumb: 5 degrees of freedom Wrist: The wrist has 6 degrees of freedom. Flexion/extension: 1 degree of freedom Radial/ulnar deviation (abduction/adduction): 1 degree of freedom Pronation/supination (rotation): 1 degree of freedom Total for wrist: 3 degrees of freedom for each hand When we sum these up: Fingers: 16 degrees of freedom Thumb: 5 degrees of freedom Wrist: 6 degrees of freedom (3 for each wrist) So, the total number of degrees of freedom in one human hand is: 16+5+6=27

An early "killer app" household use would be care for the elderly/disabled. The bot needs to be capable of lifting a human for this (bathroom assistance, etc).

With the current level of AI models (GPT-4o, etc), it could also easily function as a companion.

One move in Wing Chun is called the Tan Sao so easy to pronounce yet so hard to learn. In Wing Chun Martial Arts position is everything. The elbow is close to the body one fist wide the long way always.The finger tips is same elevation as the chin. The wrist not the finger tip should be center to your body. That's the Tan Sao in proper form. What makes it tough in a fight is to keeping your elbow in and once you break position your opponent will easily defeat your weak positioning. Yes the Tan Sao is the most important techniques used to protect the outside line inside and under the opponent's arm. This is what Bruce Lee would say. So before you fight learn the Tan Sao. As an extra, the Tan Sao can become a Bong Sau very quickly another useful method when a punch come from an opponent.

[@ThomasTomiczek]

The 1x is wrong. Seriously. Once Tesla pushes out - they will ran up production fast. Production is based on 2 axis. Throughput per production line (which is likely a constant until the line is reworked) and number of lines. Number of lines itself has 2 elements - the number of lines per factory and the number of factories. Tesla has a lot of floor space - once they rework the cars to use lower space, which is actually another story they had how they plan to save 50% space from car production. I cannot see them having few lines. Remember, 1000 per year is 3 per day - that is not a line. 10.000 per year is 30 per day, a little less than an hour for every moment. I would expect 20 times that within a SHORT timeframe - just take one production line, multiply by 20, possibly more, some lines per factory. They have the space and capital. It makes no sense to go only x10 at the start.

On robot babysitters: I have long thought that a robot teacher/babysitter/caregiver/friend will at some point be the norm. Imagine giving a toddler a teddy bear that can give it all its attention, teach the toddler, play with it, talk to it, essentially be its best friend from the time the child is old enough to have a friend. Picture that teddy being updated to stay with the child's growth, and to be a constant tutor, coach, confidant, etc. In some ways this can be a disturbing idea, but in other ways having a tutor that knows your child, learns their abilities, interests, and talents, and can give them their complete and undivided attention would completely transform education and childhood. Again, this idea may be disturbing to some, and as a parent, I get that. But I also suspect that once the technology is available, it will be almost inevitable. The convenience to parents and the advantages for the child will be a difficult proposition to ignore or turn down.

A robot as my boss? Mmmm.....

I do not see how they would go up and do the whole arm as one assembly. There is a good reason to do lower arm - moving actuators FOR THE HAND down into the lower arm because the hand has very limited space. The whole upper arm is - way less in complexity as it does not have to contain actuators for more than the shoulder. That said, show me more complex operations. Show me the robot interacting to language. So far others are ahead in demos - catch up.

Lucky for me there are many YT tech experts who don't use the ludicrous 'dropped'. It's like your dad saying something that the teenagers would use to come across as hip, and failing miserably.

Can it mount an iPhone? Then the hand is good enough!

21 dof of the hand seems to be getting close as possible to human hand and arm and upper arm. Good for bots yes but i believe Elon is developing these for disability patients (ie no arm) with Nuerallink getting these to patients that need these to get there new Arm on and working. Legs will follow after the arm is perfected as much as the engineers can do it.

Love how they have two people helping the robot do a simple task. Just think how amazing it would be if they can someday cut it down to one. If I buy a Tesla bot do they include a free human? It can open up a beer bottle.... damn that's exciting! Obviously, the auto business isn't much fun anymore. Telsa is like the imagination ride at Disney World. Musk is figment.

We should have let AI evolve(through genetic algorithms) the form and function of a robot(instead of deciding upfront on a humanoid), by providing the use cases and their requirements instead. Hope its not going to mimic polar express animation🤞. What we need is an efficient and complementary sidekick, not a master. Just some 💭🤔❤️👍

Just wait until Hollywood gets its hands on Optimus! I expect sexy wraps of leading stars! Not to mention the adult industry! Soon one will be able to buy a robotic version of their favorite star to perform house work!

The human hand has 27 degrees of freedom (DOF): Fingers: 21 DOF, with 4 DOF in each finger, 3 for extension and flexion, and 1 for abduction and adduction Thumb: 5 DOF Wrist: 6 DOF for rotation and translation Palm: 3 DOF for translation and 3 DOF for rotation

"Parenting" is indeed a multifaceted "job". I think that the point emphasized by Rethink X that, at least in the short run, we should think and talk about "tasks" a robot can do, rather than "jobs" they might can assume. A task can be performed more or less correctly/competently/reliably. But a job involves responsibility, awareness of problems or dangers, and abilities to adequately cope with those. For now, at least, I would be comfortable with adults working or living around robots under those adults' "respectful supervision," so to speak. But not so much so, with robots around very young children, very old adults, .. maybe even lots of teenagers. This sentiment probably also applies to a Tesla. Teenagers should learn to drive well (like for several years) before driving and "supervising" a Tesla. Or, on other other hand, maybe the Tesla should/could "supervise" inexperienced drivers in "shadow mode."

And the first company to recreate and sell C-3PO with same color, form factor, and wise cracking voice will be the first company to join the trillion dollar club at startup.

Hi, just to say that the big surprise will come from China. I work in China and understand the Chinese business mentality which is not to show anything in less is absolutely necessary. China will show up when they are ready for the production line.

Evening guys and things were made for people to use and that is why the Tesla Bot will be able to do the homo-sapien jobs simple

When I told my wife about this, she asked if they could apply direct training to a human's neural net. If so, she would like some oriental person to plug into her brain and train it to use chopsticks. 🙂
