Is Optimus real? I mean, Tesla FSD is inarguably pretty decent, but has Optimus even had like a public demo on the scale of almost anything Boston Robotics point out? Why is it so many robotics companies have robots flipping and dancing, and I think the last Optimus demo was like a year ago, it was serving drinks, and probably remote control operated?
Like even if it has had a demo, other companies have had like literally orders of magnitude more?
- Zigurd 8mo agoWhile it's valid to compare Optimus unfavorably with Atlas, both Tesla and Boston Dynamics are not mainstream robotics companies. That may sound strange, but robots that companies buy and use in actual factories are made by neither of those companies. Robots that can walk around whether they are dog shaped or human shaped seem to capture the public imagination a lot more than robots that actually build stuff. But that's not where the money is, even if your robot can do parkour.
