Tesla's NEW Optimus Robot Update | GEN 3 HANDS REVEALED!

[@vulpo]

The 22 DoF Optimus hand is amazing.

[@jimparr01Utube]

The future of autonomous robotics is looking very bright.

[@vulpo]

I had argued with several posters on KZbin who didn't believe the robots interacting with people at We Robot were teleoperated. It is good that Tesla is not trying to hide the fact that they were as it might be considered investor fraud if they did. Nevertheless, it was a very impressive demonstration. Given the progress they have made over the last two years, I would expect at next years event they will have the 22 DoF hands and they will be fully autonomous.

[@ThomasTomiczek]

Hardware has to be ahead of the software - and it is nice that they are showing the hardware. This alone is insane - the hands are... just whow. Now, I think once the had is done, it will go on to the foot / leg - Optimus needs to be able to stand up and climb a ladder and that needs better feet / legs. Teleoperation is fine for now - as long as the software is being worked on.

[@bobbybishop5662]

The 10/10 event was nothing but a stock pump event that failed miserably. The Tesla bot was laughed out of the recent China bot show.

[@jlrutube1312]

@@bobbybishop5662 No it did not fail miserably. The point was not to get a little temporary bump in the stock market, it was to reveal the direction of the company for the information of the public and also for long term investors. If you don't think Tesla will ever make any money then put your money elsewhere.

[@vulpo]

@@jlrutube1312 It was also for the recruitment of the best young minds in the world to convince them to come and work at Tesla and be a part of all of these world-changing technologies. Of course Elon/Telsa haters are not going to want to be a part of that and that is their choice.

Once a robot hand can peel a hard boiled egg, that will be the watershed moment for robots.

[@jlrutube1312]

I'm a human (at least I think I am) and I cannot seem to peel a hard boiled egg without tearing the egg up.

[@jimparr01Utube]

Dream on Sir. Everything is a hammer from one extreme. The other is that everything is a feather. If you choose one or the other you will fail to be viable. Optimus may indeed, one day be able to peel that hard-boiled egg, but it is likely that training will be more generic than that task in the meantime.

Of course, Elon would use me robot day as an opportunity to gather data for training and then implement it just a few days later. It's actually brilliant. This is how fast till the operation trains these things. People need to take notice

Tesla Optimus 😍

[@RodrigoPalma700]

For my part I will not buy Optimus before its version 10 coz currently it is still only a sophisticated toaster. For example we do not even know if it is able of getting up if it falls. Atlas knows how to do it. Thanks for sharing.

[@phvaessen]

The biggest advantage Tesla Optimus has compared to competition is the 100,000 H100 GPU AI training Tesla Dojo, and Tesla's ASICs for inference. The hardware of Optimus is impressive, but the software will progress at lightning speed. remember that FSD versio 12 was built from scratch in one year, and driving a car is much more complex and riskier than moving a walking robot.

[@Olson2BW]

The Optimus robots in the gazebos and behind the drink/snack counters did not move their feet. They were planted in one spot and stayed there. The only Optimus robots that moved their feet were ones that were surrounded by Tesla employees who obviously felt that the Optimus robots were safe, it was the human guests that they were concerned about getting too close to the robots and hurting themselves OR the robots. As far as commercial uses, I've posted this on multiple sites already. But I STRONGLY feel that they WILL be sent to Mars when SpaceX sends a Starship or Starships (plural) to Mars. Note that the programming for the Optimus robots doesn't need to be loaded until they are about to be used. The operating system and programs would be sent to the Starship(s) and then the Optimus robots would back up to their portals (like 7 of 9 on Star Trek but easier) and then charge AND get their operating system and programs for their instructions on what to do on Mars. Note that even having them walking around on Mars and then returning to Starship would be a HUGE thing. Having them leave Starship (by a platform lowered by crane with safety railing that opens when on the ground), then walk around, then return to Starship in the same manner, then charging back up, and then leaving Starship and returning to it a second time would be absolutely amazing. But I feel that Optimus robots will be able to do more than that by then. I believe that they will be able to assemble, at minimum, a very easy to assemble structure or maybe something semi-complex. We just don't know how much they will be able to do in two years. But when humans go to Mars, I believe that they will ABSOLUTELY send Optimus robots too, probably multiple per human and that the Optimus robots could help the humans assemble some kind of structure. Maybe a hab (habitat) for humans but that might be too ambitious but it would be interesting to see what could be done by Optimus robots by themselves and working with humans. I think it is not only possible but probable that this will happen.

[@scottgardener]

We have to keep in mind that Elon expresses things in terms of goals. According to him when the Cybertruck was first unveiled, the starting price was going to be $39,900. I'd be surprised if Optimus ever costs $30k or less, because inflation will probably outpace real-world development time frames. That said, Tesla's rapid progress is pretty amazing, and if the rate continues, I do expect Tesla's labor disruption and personal robot prophesy to happen over the next decade.

[@apollobukowski4275]

[@replica1052]

(to be able to interact with people via your robot is an addition of abilities )

[@greenmoxy]

The human hand has a texture that helps grip things. Not sure why Tesla isn't wireless charge with a mat via the feet. Seems simple. Maybe incorp some piezo discs on the feet also. FYI a piezo can generate power from just walking.

[@paulcoenen7918]

Pretty sure it would probably just change its own battery, probably be cheaper than wiring the floors, but then again maybe it would not need a battery if it could just suck juice from the floor. 😊

Robocolypse loading.... The bots definitely going to come after all of us

[@psdaengr911]

The mapping will NOT be set to all other robots. It's also unlikely to all be stored centrally because it's 2- 3 orders of magnitude more data compared to street mapping. What's likely is that mapping for a structure could be shared with new robots that will operate in that structure. i.e. Offline local maps

[@ThomasTomiczek]

Or Tesla will sell out local clouds - i.e. little rack servers that you plug in that have the infrastructure i.e. for a factory locally.

[@konixtwenty8275]

Your report was very good. Factual, positive and truthful. We need reports like instead of all these haters and nay sayers. As far as the "We Robot" event having some teleoperators...well, Musk never said that they WON'T have teleoperators. The event was a showcase so people can get a sense of what's possible. It wasn't some tech overview. And from what it looks like only the voice part was teleoperated - not the movement part. In any case this was just a preview of what's coming. Unfortunately some people are dedicated Tesla/Musk haters and many are short sighted and would not be pleased with anything. They would find something to complain about no matter what the Bot or the RoboTaxi did.

[@jlrutube1312]

Almost all of the haters don't hate Elon because the technology isn't good, the real reason is that they are Democrats who are butt hurt because Elon is supporting Trump. But of course they aren't honest about that.

[@landcruiser801]

Why dont they give it proper feet, with toes, surely that is why we can walk normal and balance as we spread pressure over our toes etc. Surely you just kind of take a hand... and...errr...make the fingers shorter and stumpier and you have a foot.

[@gohansaru7821]

Great video. 10-10 needed some explanation and amplification.

[@41istair]

SAAS implications mean that after manufacturing "scale" == ~10 years (and after meeting the premium Enterprise customer demand priority), retail customers MAY be able to buy the HARDWARE for $30K (2024 prices) but all the software licensing levels should be subscription-term-based. IE, if you don't need Optimus to babysit kids, you don't need to pay for that option level and only pay for the features you need. This is the sensible, revenue-sustaining, monitising approach to drive shareholder value (not me) vs maintaining feature & price parity with any competition. Still not enough emphasis on the difference between cost vs price; lots of folks think those terms mean the same.

[@FrankDindl]

Great video!

[@Rockall57]

Kuka, ABB, Fanuc etc are $100K plus..if Optimus sells at that price it will sell millions..

Can load groceries. Looks like its set up as a garage tool as well integrated into the Tesla home battery system. That says to me very much serious to be a home use product. Not sure it could handle pressure washing but might be able to obviously lawn and garden work who knows after that...all 247365 impact of this could be an order of magnitude larger than even Tesla secures retail operations allows for safe and clean 24 hour operation could be huge at Airports as well "less busy" much easier for trained personnel to focus on the work at hand. Not sure how well this is put together for rain or snow etc but presumably this will unleash a whole slew of products from others that do this particularly from Asia/Japan😊😊

[@ThomasTomiczek]

You make a lot of shit up - then conclude on it. NOTHING says it is a garage tool and well-integrated into a home battery system. It looks like essentially any appliance with a loader / base station. Pressure watcher IS an issue - water should not, I would expect them to be at least water resistant so that they do not break down in a rainfall. All that does not matter, though - ignore the first 2-3 years of model, they will iterate FAST.

[@lukesmith3283]

Why do I have a feeling that police departments could use this robot for entry into homes, building etc during an active shooter or barricaded subject to make contact. Also military applications as well. Building clearings as well as base security, scouting or munitions loading on to aircraft.

[@RonLWilson]

One application that seems to not be getting much attention is using humanoid bots in a military capacity. In many ways that should be far easier to do than say making a home version of a bot in that even if there is chaos on the battlefield the individual task a bot would need to do could be fairly simple in that controlling a bot is not all that different from controlling a UAV in regard to its over all functionality, albeit the details may be much different. For example even if the bots are by in large teleoperated that is not all that different form current UAVs and in many ways may be even easier to control than say a first person shooter drone which tend to demand a lot of skill from the human controllers. And aside form any other advantages of employing bots in military applications there is an enormous economic side as well in that if one makes a tank or such it can only be used for combat but a humanoid bot can be used for almost anything and thus one can scale up and make many more of those and just "drat" some as soldiers while the rest cab go into the commercial markets. And these bots could benefit from other new technologies as well such as personal mobility devices such as e bikes, e unicycles, jet packs, and the like to have even greasier utility. BTW, I have made a number of videos that elaborate on this and uploaded them to my KZbin channel . And if the west might be slow to employ bots in this way, China might not be so slow and that will eventual cause the west to do so as well to not fall to far behind.

[@ScottyDoesStuff]

Everyone talking about how great it will be when these robots take over jobs, slow down and think a bit. One commenter was excited to get 'the same coffee every time with no tip!'. Consider that if you're lucky enough not to have your job displaced by Ai or robots, that you'll be paying 10x in taxes to support all of those out of work baristas and food workers.

Every few weeks it breaks down and they wait sometimes months for a very expensive technician to come and work on it. After 4 years if frustration they now have throwin in the towel on it. I'm not worried about them taking many jobs just yet. Too expensive to maintain and babysit for now.
