How The Tesla Bot Is Made

[@stevechance150]

How to build a million robots. Start with one robot and give it a single instruction: "Assemble two robots and give both of them this single instruction."

[@stevechance150]

Recursion.

[@SebastianWellsTL]

Well, it's a little more complicated than that. After all a lot of the components in these robots are still built by hand.

[@mikem6549]

@@stevechance150See recursion.

[@capitalistdingo]

Robots aren’t bacteria. They don’t reproduce like that.

[@royh6526]

Could you build a robot with that single instruction? In reality it takes thousands of instructions for each individual part.

They don't need to ramp up a production line until they're near finalizing the design, which includes the design of the future production line along with Optimus itself.

for the elderly, disabled, and those with injuries these robots will have an immediate impact. our current shortage in patient transport, nursing, and healthcare workers will be potentially filled by these high dexterity robots. if they can get the cost under $10,000 and keep maintenance costs under a $1000 per year the potential will be huge.

[@patrickrannou1278]

If it is able to do most house chores, especially hard one that require a bit of arm strength like say scrubbing hard stains, cleaning that hard to remove brown mold growing on walls and ceilings in the bathroom, moving furniture around (without scratching the floor), cleaning windows during spring cleaning, etc., then, at that price point, I'd immediately buy one. IMHO the first models will be WAYYYYY costlier. However, the dystopia wouldn't be far behind, as when robots are able to do all that, then, not all but MOST human jobs will, not would, VERY FRIGGING QUICKLY, in a matter of less than a decade or so, be replaced by AI, by robots , or by a mix of both. Also, these things *will* get hacked. Can you imagine a would-be thief managing to pirate such a robot? Suddenly the thief has eyes, ears, and hands, right inside your house. Can simply wait until you're not home, and order the robot to disable the in-house security system, go get all the valuables and put them near the front door and on the dinner table, then unlock and open the doors so that several other stolen robots in an "autonomous driving" van that just parked outside (also stolen) all come inside. with boxes and bags, grab all the loot, and leave in a matter of minutes. Heck, what about some crazy nihilist, or an enemy government, hack the software? Suddenly, you have a literal ARMY of "perfectly obedient sleeper agents", right inside people's homes, ready to cause maximum mayhem. If a corrupted robot can disable / reprogram a non-corrupted robot faster than the corrupted robot can determine "this is an invader", then assuming a lot of homes have the robots, an initial cell of "evil corrupted bots" could spread EXTREMELY FAST. So yeah it's going to take a LOT of safety countermeasures. At the rate things are going right now, ever and ever faster, with rush to productivity and profits, and next to no regards for real actual safety, I have some doubts.

[@MehulPatelLXC]

Oh sure, and they will be just as successful as the tesla cars. lets hope this time they are water proof.

[@clausleitner4520]

you know that using more then 3 !!! makes you look braindamaged.

[@MasterMayhem78]

Although these seem to walk pretty well they’re relying on gravity and balance to keep them stable. When humans walk we aren’t using our legs to propel us forward, we are in fact leaning our body forward and our legs are keeping us from falling head first. This forward momentum is what keeps us stable when we walk. Until robots can accomplish this then walking will always be inefficient and power hungry.

[@jmg9509]

The way you described this made me feel like an animal under observation lol

[@natural8677]

so maybe there needs to be a giant ball bearing in the upper chest cavity and a counter balance somewhere else idk 😅

[@ButterfatFarms]

Oh com'on they do not walk pretty well! They shuffle along like a guy who over confidently farted and is now doing the walk of the shame to the bathroom. 😂 What you're speaking of, that's Boston Dynamics with Atlas. Which in their latest version I would put money on one of them single-handedly dispatching an entire platoon of these Tesla things in short order. 😮

[@hannestordengren1627]

True, but a quick googling indicates that a 100 kg person walking at a brisk rate, consumes a similar amount of energy, as the Tesla bot as indicated in the video (500 W). Seems all the other stuff going on in our bodies also require energy, which the Tesla bot doesn't need to expend.

[@ButterfatFarms]

@@hannestordengren1627 Show me a Tesla bot walking at a "brisk rate". They walk as fast as an elderly man on his way to the bathroom whose stature looks like he's trying not to crap himself before he gets there.

[@sagecoach]

Thank you for a well-done and timely presentation. The visuals are outstanding. Continuous improvement with this robot will go fast, hardware, software, and learned neuro AI.

[@NR-rv8rz]

What an exceptionally well made video. Explaining a complex subject in a simple, clear and inspiring way that anyone could understand. About the power, I don't see why the robot won't have easily swappable power packs. Most of them will be used in localised environment and some even in factories and warehouses. Instead of having down time for charging, they should just back up into a charging bay and drop off their battery then have another one inserted. They could even do it themselves.

[@virtualbox9556]

Very happy to see you posted a new video

[@HightauerUSA]

[@Justwantahover]

Make the bots swap their own batteries and the bot can work while the exchanged batteries are charging (no charge downtime). Just have a tiny fixed battery inside the bot to run it during battery swap (which can be easily recharged by the main battery after swap).

[@JonnoPlays]

The Boston Dynamics Atlas 2 robot is all electric and judging from their short video, looks to have great freedom of movement. Would be interesting to have that added as a comparison once more details emerge.

[@clausleitner4520]

The only thing "POWERED by hydraulics" is the dynamo in a hydro plant that charges a battery. A battery-powered motor drives a pump, which can drive a hydraulic ACTUATOR that turns the pressure difference into motion, with losses at every step.

[@Pepesilvia267]

I didn’t read about it but Boston dynamics retired atlas and now have a new model which looks like it uses electric actuators. Seems like the new direction is electric actuators.

A motor provides rotational movement that might be used to power a linear actuator. They are not the same thing.

[@cvrart]

The real answer: it ISN'T made. Tesla is only producing prototypes in R&D labs. It is not making any Tesla bots at scale, and at this stage they may have to cut that initiative if Musk wants to focus the company on the robotaxi idea. Musk is full of grandiose ideas (mostly taken straight from science fiction movies).

5:22 Humans use toes for balance control, even if you don't realise it, particularly the big toe; so yes, a proper foot emulation must have those. We have not seen TB walk on domestic carpet, only a smooth factory floor, which is why toe development is not a priority for them just yet.

After seeing the new Atlas bot Tesla's got a lot of work ahead of them!

[@billconley2599]

Yes and no. The new Atlas is mostly notable for its double jointedness which is very cool and probably extremely useful in a factory environment. On the other hand (get it) the Optimus hands are far more advanced than Atlas 2. Also, we have not seen Optimus for a while and can only assume that it has been advancing in ways we do not know about.

I don't understand why they are trying to make it an exact duplicate of a human. Our design is so flawed. Like why do we only have one thumb? Why not have one on each side of the hand? It would not be in the way of anything and it would certainly give a much more powerful grip and the ability to lift heavy things more effectively. And slightly longer fingers would be a benefit as well. You could easily do that one inch dumbbell lift challenge. Also, only one elbow joint? How many times have you tried to scratch an itch in the middle of your back and you can't get to it? Basically anything you can imagine that you can't physically do, the robot should be designed differently. Think about the entire principle behind jiu jitsu, arm locks, leg locks, headlocks, all of these are based on the weakness of the human body and means that the robot should be designed to overcome this. The only limits are your imagination and yet they still make it an exact duplicate of a human.
