What’s up

The new video was announced by Elon Musk at today’s shareholders meeting, and Musk claimed that the team edited the video only the night before.

• You can see significant progress in the video. Optimus has become much more humanoid. Without auxiliary structures and outside help, they move on two legs – that is, they simply walk like a human.
• They also learned to recognize the environment around them and nearby objects, and to move them from one place to another. The robot can lift things with its hands, adjusting the pressure force and movements depending on what is exactly in front of it.
• The process of recognizing and memorizing the environment and learning artificial intelligence based on monitored human movements is also shown.

New Optimus Skills: Video

The Tesla robot, designed to be humanoid, was first unveiled at the company’s AI Day event last year. At the time, Tesla could only show a deconstructed version of the robot that could barely move, far from doing manual labor on stage. A version more similar to the production model was also shown, but held by a special stand. This car could only wave to the audience. Now Tesla is showing robots that are more similar to this model, but that move on their own, albeit a bit slower.
