Right now, 1X and Tesla use entirely different mechanical architectures, don't they? Do you think that Tesla will end up with compliant robots?

- modeless 2y agoTesla is getting closer with tendon-based hands in the next generation of Optimus. Who knows where they will end up.
- beeflet 2y agoElastic tendons seem like a pretty reasonable solution to this problem, but can it be applied to all the joints (like ball-socket, etc.) I wonder? I think the chassis of the robot should also have compliance, humans certainly do have squishy spines. I mean imagine you're on the street and you have to share sidewalk space with these things. Running into it would hurt.
- modeless 2y agoThe tendons are as inelastic as possible. The compliance comes from direct drive motors with no gearing (or as minimal as possible).
