Here’s what the experts made of Elon Musk’s Tesla bot
Roboticists were impressed by how fast Tesla’s engineers assembled Optimus but said the machine wasn’t anything close to a breakthroughA “rough development” version of Optimus is unveiled at Tesla’s AI Day.— a bipedal machine that the Tesla CEO imagines will one day be sold as a “general purpose” bot that’s cheaper than a car and equally capable of working in factories and doing chores at home.
Elon Musk admitted that “last year, it was just a person in a robot suit” but showed off two models this year.We got some basic specs for Optimus . It weighs 73kg, has 28 degrees of freedom in its limbs, and is powered by a 2.3kWh battery that Tesla claims lasts for a full day of work. The stand-out mechanical feature is hand modeled after a human’s, and Tesla showed how it’s been porting over the software used to power itself-driving cars for navigation and control.
In his thread, Hubicki notes that the Optimus bot seems to use a walking method known in robotics as zero moment point, or ZMP . This is a method of locomotion that’s, deployed in famous bots like Honda’s Asimo. Hubicki notes that this method of walking is “pretty safe, but not mindblowing in 2022.”
“They are very similar in concept to Honda’s Asimo robots, the development of which is now abandoned,” said Jackson. “The overall design is heavily built, clumsy and power inefficient — the hands are very basic, the only redeeming feature is a clutch mechanism in the finger actuation. If you want to know how far they are from human level motion and capabilities, compare last year’s reveal — a man in a robot suit — to this year’s actual hardware.
