The major problem will be battery longevity. If I took this on house construction,how much could it accomplish before it would need charging. It's a hassle in the UK just charging hand powered tools ,let alone one of these things. It would be great if it works though and to be honest not too worried about it going rogue , look at the nut jobs around the world we have already with a finger on the nuclear button, they worry me

[@victoriaphan6633]

It can find a way of self recharge as human finding foods everyday. The simple form has bee the vacuum cleaning robot.

[@FolkerHQ]

yeah, I also don't see, that the robot can work nearly 16h a day, more like 6 hours and has to charge 18 hours or work to the charger and does everything slower than a human, because of different reasons. Safety, stiffness, energy consumption, slow A.I. ... I guess, the robot has to get into "school" to learn the rules as well. And every construction set is different. Also, what is the payload of such a robot? And how many hours can the robot move itself and the payload before the need of charging.

[@vanhsati]

What if each 2 hours it need 1 minute to change the exterial battery (for example it has 2 batteries, and each time it exchange 1 and recharge it) ... So it only take 1% of time for exchange battery.

[@FolkerHQ]

@@vanhsati how long does one battery charge? 4 hours for 1h work? That would mean, you at least need 5 batteries, you have to store these batteries and need to plug them. So somehow the robot needs a place for charging and that place has to have some power-plugs. And additonal batteries would drive the costs up. But with additional energy plugs for any robot work place, you can't easily put a robot where a human was. If the robot could eat "food" ... mmmm, but then you would need toilets ... and so on.

[@JohnSmith-df4vb]

It's actually not a problem if the bot can swap out its own battery, it could have multiple batteries charging while it works.

For example the Honor smartphone automated factory which already is in operation, I think it will take some years before other countries can achieve something similar.

There's an incredible amount of hype here; the robot can barely walk, only on flat terrain... it's still 5-7 years behind Boston Dynamics.

[@anirev9745]

it's clear the focus has been wholly focused on the upper half of the body. Brain, hands and gestures and those are the most important if you ask me. I bet once they hit a certain point in the development of the upper body, they will then shift to movement and the posture which would take a lot less time to learn since by then the machine learning capability of the robot will be at a level where such tasks will just be too normal for it to learn.

[@PeteOliva]

The completeness with which you completely disregard the inherent machine learning strengths of the Optimus over what BD is doing makes you sound extremely biased.

[@anirev9745]

@@PeteOliva I don't think the op is wrong in saying that the mobility of the BD robot is better. The Optimus walks like a 90 year old with barely functional spine where the BD is like a future parkour athlete. So saying he is biased is a bit of an overstatement. Still, ML and hand dexterity is where the magic happens for sure. Having advanced hand dexterity gives the Optimus the chance to do so many things/tasks that will contribute to its learning journey much more than mobility would and that's what really matters. Learning how to express hand gestures, do handicrafts and physical labour, learning how to write and draw. The possibilities are literally infinite. I believe that's why Tesla focused on the hands and brain first. Mobility comes after since not only would it be easier to learn when the Optimus's brain is more developed but also since movement will require a lot more energy and thus more breakthroughs in battery manufacturing is needed before mobility becomes a priority. Even if you have mobility now, it would mean nothing if you cannot supply it with enough energy to move/operate for enough time.

My guess is a highly edited video (more likely)that may even be computer generated graphics rather than the real thing (less likely). Either way, I will be extremely impressed the day they show this to a live audience, doing exactly what it is doing here.

@@BigHotSauceBoss69 even if it no CGI, if you have a product in that state, you would show it in real to the press, you would write something like "in 6 month you can pre-order" ... something like this. Like Apple has done with the Apple Vision Pro. Also you would not leak anything for all, you would do B2B contracts first. And there was not a single thing in the video that has any real usecase. It is not clear, what is a future vision and what works for real. If your robot can learn from watching stuff, why not show it how to make an omplett for 3 days and show the video 3 days later? Or why not show every week another task it now can do or learned?

Send robots for a couple decades to build the infrastructure so when the first humans arrive they will have a town ready to go with manufacturing, hydroponics, computers, etc. But if you think about it, a robot with human form factor might be the worst to send. Instead build robots with wheels, multiple arms and hands with more functionality than four-fingers-and-a-thumb.
