Tesla shares a video of his Optimus robot that catches up with the competition

Tesla shared a video about the progress of his Optimus Humanoid robot, but it still looks like it is getting the competition.

CEO Elon Musk informed the shareholders that Optimus is a chance for the company with several Tulms dollar dollars.

Musk believes that Tesla will finally produce tens of millions of optimus robots per year.

Tesla already uses some robots in his factory and musk suggested that Tesla could sell the robot to external customers next year. He has run a price between 25,000 and 30,000 US dollars per robot.

But as the lawyers of Musk made so clear, all of this is “corporate puffery” and the company is still in the development phase of the robot.

It has been sporadically updated that the robot's progress becomes more useful.

In December we shared an update about the recent walking capacity of the Tesla Optimus, which showed improvements, but showed a capacity that was achieved almost a decade before the competition.

Tesla has now published a new video that shows an Optimus prototype -:

Milan Kovac, Teslas Head of the Optimus program, commented on the video:

More will come shortly! The team worked very hard in the background. Fully trained in simulation with RL. Many optimizations and corrections were introduced in our SIM-to-real training code.

Although progress is impressive, it looks as if Tesla still catches up with the competition very well.

UniTree published a similar video of his humanoid robot dance months ago:

And since then it has released much more impressive videos of its robots that make martial arts, jump and even make flips.

Companies that worked on humanoid robots there was an increase in companies, and there was clear progress in this area. We were particularly impressed by Tesla's latest hands for Optimus.

However, robotics are not the main tip to make humanoid robots useful.

This is a demonstration of which movements can support the latest robotics, but all the demonstrations of Tesla from Optimus robots who actually do useful things were driven by human help.

In short, Optimus still has the same problem as Tesla's “self -driving” vehicles: you need human help.

Figure, X1, Unitree, Xpeng and many others. The humanoid robot room is growing up. I am quite optimistic about humanoid robots, but I don't think Tesla has a lead in the room.

I think the space has to further improve the robotics so that they are ready when the AI ​​becomes smooth enough to be useful if they are integrated into such robots.

Tesla indeed progresses in this front, but I still have to prove that it is ahead of the other companies I just mentioned.

On the contrary, I am concerned with the fact that Tesla was not in the foreground about human help behind the demonstration of the event “WE, Robot”.
