Tesla's Robot Actuators: A Game Changer for Robotics?

[@fengjikangqiang]

If tesla is using pneumatic, how are they going to supply the compressed air?

[@EliteAutomation]

Hi, we think that Tesla's focus on efficiency and compact design suggests they've likely developed custom actuator solutions tailored specifically for the Optimus robot. These actuators would likely incorporate advanced technologies like electric motors, gearboxes, and sensors for precise control and performance. It's important to note that this is based on available information and speculation. The exact details of Tesla's actuator technology remain proprietary. In this video, we mentioned some of the types of actuators that the robotics and automation industry are using and is currently on the market.

They aren't "cylinders", they are electric linear actuators. There is no air or hydraulics and I think its incorrect to refer to them as cylinders

[@RoboGreg2.0]

Thank you for your explanation of Tesla's involvement with developing its own pneumatic actuators. I agree that if Tesla could have simply bought an "off the shelf" item that matches the design spec sheet, they would have done so. The problem with prototypes is that they take time to perfect with testing and modifications cost $$$ thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, to get the FIRST working part! Tesla can afford it, small builders cannot.😢

and Tesla could even up entering the pneumatic actuators market if their own design could become a hit.

I think that Tesla understands that the real value of a humanoid robot is making it the exact form factor as a human. Think of all the tools that are designed for the exact human form. If their robots don't match humans, it won't be the skeleton key they are trying to develop.

[@EliteAutomation]

@@n8works exact form factor and movements are what they are shooting for. read somewhere that they already achieved 22 degrees of freedom on the optimus gen z bot.

[@n8works]

@@EliteAutomation yep. Makes sense. If your robot can learn anything by watching, then making it an exact match for all of the human shaped tools in existence is a huge value multiplier.

I am looking for a robot gardener. That can also double as an assistant in my older age.

[@EliteAutomation]

let us know if you're serious so we can give you some info and recommendations😂

[@chasl3645]

@EliteAutomation Sounds cool to me. I just hope I'm not disappointed.

[@chasl3645]

By the way, nice work...

[@daniels4209]

i still don't think a robot will take my job as a material handler. it would have to be able to switch job task every 15 minutes to 1 minutes. and be able to support 6 to 7 lines in an 8-hour shift

[@EliteAutomation]

Yes bro, you hit it right. these robots will not totally replace humans in manufacturing floors. I think we will make a video on this subject too. thank you for sharing your real world experience.

[@RoboGreg2.0]

Ideally, robots will do the jobs that you can't do because the jobs are unsafe or tedious. You will not be replaced, but, your life will be made better 😊. In fact, you might be controlling bots to help you with your work. 😮

[@EliteAutomation]

@@RoboGreg2.0 you got it right bro.

[@joedenbesten4477]

That's what all the welders and painters in the auto industry thought too.

[@EliteAutomation]

@@joedenbesten4477 hi bud, we think that these humanoids are still very far from replacing welders and painters. we rather think that welders and painters will become efficient operators of automated and ai driven welding and painting tools which many companies are developing, but not these humanoids.

[@anon58973]

I can't tell if this video is an ironic joke or serious. What is this shit

[@EliteAutomation]

Hi, thanks for sharing your feedback. With our experience and knowledge in automation and robotics, we see Tesla as a a company who has undeniably driven innovation in the automotive industry, pushing boundaries in electric vehicles and autonomous technology. And we also feel that this content and information could be of use to people who are seeking knowledge in the field of robotics.

[@DOGPOOCHOGENIUS]

You should have the Japanese people they would help you to figure out how to build things right

[@EliteAutomation]

Thanks!🙂🙂🙂

[@Kukaboora]

When do we stop this BS of everything from Tesla is a game changer. Find some other way to make a living would you? 4680, 25k model 2, Roadster, FSD, they are all game changer or game over. BYD and CATL are about to push Tesla out of China.

[@EliteAutomation]

Hi, thank you for taking time to express your opinion, which you are entitled to. But for us who have extensive experience in automation and robotics, we see Tesla as a company who has undeniably driven innovation in the automotive industry, pushing boundaries in electric vehicles and autonomous technology. While competition is healthy, it's essential to acknowledge their contributions. We'd rather choose to discuss specific areas of improvement or alternative approaches rather than dismissing their entire body of work.
