“My liberal arts view (I’m not an engineer) on all the fuss about Tesla using tele-op and audio pass thru: For starters, what they did was revolutionary. Having that number of Bipedal Humanoids operating in parallel with ONE mistake is insane. Especially the walking sequence…” / X
“While we were busy making its walk more robust for 10/10, we’ve also been working on additional pieces of autonomy for Optimus! The absence of (useful) GPS in most indoor environments makes visual navigation central for humanoids. Using its 2D cameras, Optimus can now navigate” / X
“In 50 years teleoperation will be a major feature of humanoid robots. @Tesla’s version is better than any other I have seen. Smoother. Faster. And in public with 2,500 phones moving around spraying RF in all directions. The engineering to do that is pretty impressive.
