Compare this to the human controlled puppets Tesla demonstrated. Tesla made a big show of something Disney could do years ago. While Boston Dynamics is quietly building the real thing and showing us footage of it actually working.
- letmevoteplease 2y agoTesla has footage of Optimus working autonomously. Not bad progress for something that has been under development for two years. https://x.com/Tesla_Optimus/status/1846797392521167223 https://x.com/Tesla_Optimus/status/1846797392521167223
- guerrilla 2y agoCorrection: Tesla says* they have footage of Optimus working autonomously
- kvark 2y agoYou are comparing a live demo with many bots interacting with humans, versus a recording of a single bot in a factory by itself.
- bottlepalm 2y agoThe difference is Disney doesn't have any factories. I'd bet good money Tesla has Optimus doing real work in their factories, at scale, long before anyone else.
- threeseed 2y agoBoston Dynamics has been deploying Spot at scale for years now: https://bostondynamics.com/industry/manufacturing https://bostondynamics.com/industry/manufacturing And it's one thing to have a cute demo showcased under ideal scenarios and another to have it deployed in mission critical environments around real people.
- fragmede 2y agoA mobile camera that can open doors is quite useful, but that's not on the same level as robot auto worker that could stamp out parts on a press.
- threeseed 2y agoThis statement makes no sense. We have had robots stamping parts for years. There is no need for a humanoid style configuration. Meanwhile what is needed and far more complex are robots that can interact with unpredictable people in unpredictable environments. Boston Dynamics has already demonstrated they can do this.
- fragmede 2y agoI'm not sure what part doesn't make sense. Can you clarify where you got confused? Machine presses still have human operators somewhere, even though theres machines and robot arms involved. eg the end of that figure one video. Sure, a dog sized object autonomously not running into objects, some of which can move is an achievement, but it's still just a remote control camera.
- baw-bag 2y agoYou would just change the machine that the human uses. If a task is too difficult and hence needs a human yesterday, and if there is a solution that a humanoid robot can now do today then you would simply get rid of all of the humanoid robotics surrounding the core problem. Even if that means bolting the humanoid to the floor just to use that single part you need.
