What Do Robotics Experts Think Of Tesla’s Optimus?
, “It’s possible, even likely, that Tesla will build some sort of Tesla Bot by sometime next year, as Musk says. I think that it won’t look all that much like the concept images in this presentation. I think that it’ll be able to stand up, and perhaps walk. Maybe withstand a shove or two and do some basic object recognition and grasping. And I think after that, progress will be slow. But the hard part is not, and I think Musk is way out of his depth here.
Evan does acknowledge one of those core potential benefits I mentioned at the top that Tesla has in its approach and capability, but also tempers that hope/hype by noting that others may well be aiming for manufacturability and scale now too. “I generally agree with Musk here, in that historically, humanoid robots were not designed for manufacturability. This is changing, however, and I think that other companies likely have a head start over Tesla in manufacturability now.
And, again, as far as the event being a recruiting tool, Evan assumes Tesla nailed it. “I can see the appeal of Tesla for someone who wants to start a robotics career, since you’d get to work on a rapidly evolving hardware platform backed by what I can only assume is virtually unlimited resources.” That software bit at the end brings us to the last point I would highlight from this piece. Rather than praise Elon for the claim that Tesla Bot will be unique because it will have a brain, Evan took exception to that and wasn’t yet convinced it was very special.
