One, robotics is deceptively hard. Boston Dynamics had a robot that could backflip before they had one that could sit in a chair. Robots walking on two legs is something only a few companies have mastered.
Second, because Musk is fucking terrible at engineering. SpaceX works despite his meddling. Tesla can't make good cars because he keeps demanding Cybertrucks or getting them into lawsuits about FSD.
Ten years ago I would have said his superpower was convincing tech bro investors to throw billions of dollars at weird startups. Then Tesla started going down hill, and Twitter happened, and Doge, and now he's just an idiot with too much money to ignore.
Walking is essentially controlled falling. I imagine it's incredibly difficult to build something that can keep itself upright while constantly falling forward.
fsd is literally the safest thing on the market rn.. and before anyone says otherwise, the chines government themselves tested a bunch of self driving cars and ended the test by saying tesla has the safest self driving
-The testing was undergone by TikTok'a parent company Bytedance, under their Dcar automotive media platform
-Testing was compared against local (Chinese) brands like Xpeng and BYD
-Testing was carried out on ADAS systems, not full autonomy, and passed 5 of the 6 tests given. The 'drivers seem to have supervised all along' (- Inside EVs)
It's no doubt impressive given local laws ban data export for the vision system, though Elon is suspected of having ties and influence to and from Chinese government, so claims should not be taken at face value.
Wow, stupid enough to believe ccp propaganda that didn’t test western automated driving systems! No shit Tesla is better than byd. Tesla is also better at self driving than the shit I just finished taking. That doesn’t mean anything of value.
still don’t get the obsession with humanoid robots. why put all this effort into walking kinematics when you could just roll and focus on dexterity or something?
Basically the world is built for humans, so a humanoid robot would automatically "fit in" with things. Things like cabinet/counter top heights, stairs, paths, tools, and basically everything fit our build. So if you have a humanoid robot, it can use those counters, stairs, paths, tools, and such with less worrying about "will this specific wheel system traverse any given path" or "will the arm I designed have the range of motion that would be able to emulate/stand in for a human worker." It'd be built in.
Obviously, it's not ready yet, but that's the idea.
My friend used to work for Tesla and was on the robotics team. At a conference where they were unveiling this, they told everyone it was autonomous but there were employees in the next room controlling it. He also said Elon awkwardly berated an IT guy in front of hundreds of people because he couldn’t get the slide deck to go to the next slide. Also Tesla can remotely access your cars cameras at any time. He said he was tasked with reviewing footage, including when the cars were parked in people’s garages. He left after 1 year of working there.
Literally walking like it just shit itself.
Bricked itself
r/unexpectedfuturama ?
I mean it is walking like a human, just one that is 93 years old.
yes but only half the volume of shit that honda ASIMO had in its pants! the wonders of technology!
The new robots from china like the one from unitree hardly look like they shit themselves
It walks as if it was designed by someone who doesn't understand how normal walking works.
Yea no, they are overselling this bot by miles. I've seen better robot mobility 20 years ago.
looks at Atlas
looks at Optimus
back at Atlas
Yea, theyve got a ways to go
That’s their whole thing. Over promise, under deliver, lie, receive billions. Repeat
Yep ASIMO walked better.
Why does it look like they dressed him using clothes from the dumpster behind a Spirit Halloween?
The real question is why it walks like it was built out of a pile of parts found at an abandoned Radio Shack?
Two reasons.
One, robotics is deceptively hard. Boston Dynamics had a robot that could backflip before they had one that could sit in a chair. Robots walking on two legs is something only a few companies have mastered.

Some clarifications:
-The testing was undergone by TikTok'a parent company Bytedance, under their Dcar automotive media platform
-Testing was compared against local (Chinese) brands like Xpeng and BYD
-Testing was carried out on ADAS systems, not full autonomy, and passed 5 of the 6 tests given. The 'drivers seem to have supervised all along' (- Inside EVs)

Musk FCC hearing
And yet Mercedes is the only manufacturer with level three autonomy in series cars.
I was talking about how FSD meets no reasonable definition of "full self driving", leading to lawsuits. It's fancy lane assist.

I bet you didnt even read anything else about that test, such as who, what, where, when, and how the test was performed.
was it trained exclusively on drunk people who really have to pee?
Look like more ketamin, but i agree one the pee
It walks just like its dad, Elon
it would be so much fun to hit this thing with a baseball bat
Given how it's barely staying upright as is, it would be laughable to consider it competition to Boston Dynamics' Atlas...

cheeks stay together... Cheeks... Stay.... Together!"
Why are you all laughing and making fun?
Robots are hard to make, let alone mimic human physics and not make them crash into walls.
Waaait a minute.
(Scraches head)
We been saying that 5 years ago.
Now Chinese companies have developed loads of different models of really elegant and not dumb human like robots.
Sorry for interruption, may the mocking of Tesla's over hyped and overpriced products continue.
Yeah boston dynamics was making shit better than this like a decade or more ago

Don’t give your robot ketamine

They look exactly like the shitty Chinese made robots currently for sale lol.
Wow a robot with hemorrhoids
Might be Elon under there after a week long bender.
We sit here laughing at the silly robots the will soon be very effectively quelling food riots and dispersing civil protests
If Tesla makes them I'd totally support the use.
Looks like it's shit itself.
If Daft Punk is doing Clank-face, wtf is this?
Which one of the three is it? /s
What are those sunglasses she's wearing? I hate those.
The woman filming cares more about how she’s perceived walking than the robot.
It walks how it looks
Hey it can stand by itself, that got to be worth more money then what it'll take to solve world hunger.
Millions down the line, years in development and THIS is how it walks? HAHAHAHAHA
Almost like an Unitree R1. ...almost.
