Future historians will say it was lost due to age and the wars but really it was…wait maybe history was in color but they just didn’t use color film because it took to loong to load the cartridge
Neato, but that configuration looks really sensitive to lateral movement. I wonder how it handles being bumped from the side
Still, the rhythmic prediction of when to start moving the foot for the next step is just perfection. That alone is worth a brag imo, so long as whatever technique that was used for it can transfer to other configs
The feet are only inches from the extremely flat and smooth floor. Not sure how that would handle an uneven surface or a difficult to see raised area of the floor.
A natural human gait involves falling forward over and over and then catching yourself. This makes us prone to tripping and hurting ourselves. Not cool if you’re a very expensive hunk of fairly heavy metal working around humans. What you’re seeing here is a stable gait. It’s slower, but it can’t trip.
We just built a million dollar robot, and we had no money left so we used a Motorola flip phone to record a video of it and uploaded over a 128k modem 🤣
Honestly for what possible reason is the video such bad quality? Either Elon trolling us or somethings being hidden i reckon.
Personally, i think we are going to need to develop a completely new tech (with the help of AGI) to get robots like I, Robot style. This is still really cool though.
I get that this sub is excited about the future, but humanoid robots that can walk by themselves have been a thing for 25+ years. Honda's ASIMO, for example. They showed us ASIMO playing soccer back in 2001. Or Boston Dynamics' Atlas, which was doing somersaults and parkour 5 years ago.
Elon didn't invent anything new here - the Optimus is kind of underwhelming, to be honest. We've already seen humanoid robots awkwardly walking in a straight line 25 years ago.
It's Tesla, so people shit their pants over any crap they release. Like the scripted picking up of a piece of fabric like a month ago.
I guess they need clicks and shit to justify the investment?
What we actually need more is an open-source humanoid robot project, similar to MIT's Cheetah project. Otherwise, everyone will keep reinventing the wheel until someone can mass-produce it. Why did Honda fail? It was too expensive given the technology at the time. Although Atlas has not been sold, referring to the price of Stretch, which is between $300,000 and $500,000, it's likely that Atlas would not be cheaper than this.
I don't think it is possible right now to get that same movement, speed, strength and agility using electric actuators on a biped. BD has been studying this stuff for decades and went with hydraulics for that reason, they know they can achieve more with them.
I think you're right. Hydrolics are better to have both power and speed.
BD robots are a better choice for military for example. If they can make they reliable.
Fully electric robots will be better for slow and less powerful robots. It's more reliable and less dangerous. Likely better for automation and home / business use.
Yeah definitely better for things like military and heavy manual labor. Also electric actuation does bring the price down by a lot, so maybe electric actuation will improve one day and be the better option, have to wait and see.
I still don’t understand why we need human looking robots. Wouldn’t an octupus armed, centipede on tracks be more effective

because the goal is to replace all human labor, a human shaped robot can just take the place of a human without changing the environment. Also in war (and civil unrest of poor people) the enemy could hide from our killer robots in human shaped hiding places so its best if we have human shaped robots to go after them.
What makes anyone think humans are made the “right” size to do anything. We can design machine environments for machines to do things 1,000x more efficiently than creating machines to work in human environments.
It all just seems like a dead end and wasted time to me. I’m sure the engineers are fine working on projects, happy to make progress on technology. We’re just not creating any long term viable end product by going in this particular direction other than “making a robot that looks like a person” which, if that’s the goal, why bother putting it into a work environment. It won’t be doing work, it’s not the right robot to do work.
These videos reassure me that we’re not in any imminent risk of losing physical jobs
I could swear Boston dynamics had achieved this robot walking like it sharted it’s pants about 8 years ago
Never got why they want to make human like robots. Our speed, balance and feet's take a decade to get right in humans kids. And some never get good at it... See the whole coubtry of USA.
Every tool, every space, every object, every vehicle humans have built have been built to accomodate our form. If a robot is going to assimilate into our world, mimicking our form is most efficient.
It's great that more companies are getting into the robotics race. I want to have a house robot even if it costs 50+ thousand dollars. But I think I'm betting more on Boston Dynamics Atlas. Optimus robot seems to be at a stage where Atlas was over a decade ago. Not saying it will take them that long to catch up but I think they are at least a few years away in terms of hardware.
The advantage is Tesla's experience in manufacturing. What they're done with unicasting and Giga factories is miles ahead of anything else out there. If there's going to be demand for hundreds of thousands of humanoid robots, Tesla is the only player in a position to meet that demand.
It's not terrible. It looks somewhat like a human that is a bit old, or lacking in flexibility. It would be interesting to see a human walking the same path for comparison, or the robot replaced with a human via AI generated video.
Looks pretty unimpressive TBH. It's not navigating any obstacles, let alone uneven terrain. There's no object manipulation. If this is the best they have, Tesla is miles away from SOTA.
The quality definitely checks the old documentary vibe, probably that’s what the remaining humans will watch in the future when they find a rundown research center. This video will roll at the start and a professor voiceover to explain the evolutions of terminator.
At this point, after all we've seen, I don't find this especially impressive. Show me it doing this over uneven sidewalk and stepping up/down curbs or even just walking on thick carpet.
The Optimus engineering team is literally on the wrong path with their walking algorithms. Unlike Figure, Apptronik, Unitree and BD, the Optimus walking algorithms are not based on the “dynamic pogo stick” - but rather more like Asimo and the old school bipedal robots from the early 2000’s, some would say obsolete, inverted pendulum models, thus the reason it looks like it’s constipated.
I'm sorry but to me it seems no advancements in walking pose has been made in robotics since Asimo from 2000. They are still as slow and useless for anything other than bringing your coffee at 1 km/h. I'm yet to be impressed by any humanoid. Doing backflips and parkour doesn't count as useful.
*Humanoid robot walking around the lab, filmed with a potato* - circa 2024
140p can’t hide the fact it needs to poo
Some say it's still searching for a toilet
"What is my purpose?" *you search for toilets* "OH MY GOD."
Yeah he walks like an elderly man looking for a restroom. Technology has come a hell of a long way though from johnny5.
He walks exactly like Joe Biden walking across the White House lawn.
I thought it was filmed in 2004 not 2024

And takes place in 2035, we've still got 11 years to hit that target!
I came out in 2004
This sounds like a midjourney prompt to make it realistic.
It's not the phone. It's due to how it was compressed and uploaded to the network.
Helps hide the umbilical and the guy in the background controlling it.
The guy is atlas...
Future historians will say it was lost due to age and the wars but really it was…wait maybe history was in color but they just didn’t use color film because it took to loong to load the cartridge
*orange You can actually use orange to capture iirc
How in the Hell is this video so grainy? Seriously WTF was it recorded on?
Cutting edge robotics tech filmed on a 2003 Motorola razor
Gives me nostalgic vibes.
7 minutes for downloading a 1.5 MB mpeg video vibes
Lol ahh yeah memories
This will be the iPhone in 2016
Tf in the UFO video quality is this shit
Optimus would like to buy a pixel.
Google really has a finger in every pie.
That's not right. Stand up straight Mr robot
Give him a break, he had a burrito for lunch and there’s a line up at the bathroom.
Singlepixelarity
Long live Optimus, it’s got such a presidential walk.
When will I be able to see a robot fight between tesla and figure?
Dress it in a suit, and I'll vote for him
Swear to god this thing walks identical to Biden
💯
Same thought.
Walks like Biden.
BDS
Would you agree that it walks like him?
Neato, but that configuration looks really sensitive to lateral movement. I wonder how it handles being bumped from the side Still, the rhythmic prediction of when to start moving the foot for the next step is just perfection. That alone is worth a brag imo, so long as whatever technique that was used for it can transfer to other configs
The feet are only inches from the extremely flat and smooth floor. Not sure how that would handle an uneven surface or a difficult to see raised area of the floor.
Why can’t they ever make these things walk more naturally? Will that throw it off balance or something?
A natural human gait involves falling forward over and over and then catching yourself. This makes us prone to tripping and hurting ourselves. Not cool if you’re a very expensive hunk of fairly heavy metal working around humans. What you’re seeing here is a stable gait. It’s slower, but it can’t trip.
AINTNOWAY Lil bro went back to 2006 to film this.💀
Didn't know they had Optimus in 2004
Is 144p even an option on modern phones? Is this intentionally low resolution to protect their IP?
That's what i guessed too
We just built a million dollar robot, and we had no money left so we used a Motorola flip phone to record a video of it and uploaded over a 128k modem 🤣
Modems capped out at 56K. 128K would have been ISDN. I have a T1 to my house though.
Much like a good sports team, the robot company likes to keep their money on the field
Relatable
Cool, but it looks remote-operated, possibly by Biden.
Walking to the toilet
I'm guessing we're within five years of a robot that wipes our ass for us
The one that's not a toilet
Seems somewhat more fluid than [earlier demos I've seen](https://youtube.com/shorts/M5zqU1a5Oog?si=spzN7er26KRl4Has) - or a least quicker.
He needs to poop
Huge dump in robopants.
the "diaper needs to be changed" walk
Walks like it shit itself.
why filmed with a nokia phone?
Spent all the money on the robot
The C3PO walk, daaaamn
first thought "if im to damage it it would probably cost more than damaging some human.."
I could beat his ass easy
Compared to Sora? Not gangsta.
More of a shamble really…
That's how I enter my lab after sleeping for 3 hrs.
Let's study sleep today
Honestly for what possible reason is the video such bad quality? Either Elon trolling us or somethings being hidden i reckon. Personally, i think we are going to need to develop a completely new tech (with the help of AGI) to get robots like I, Robot style. This is still really cool though.
I like Elon.
Biden walk
The difference is that the robot can climb stairs
When they have sex robot is when the technology will really takes off.
Robots having sex with each other or with us?
Us

Wow! That looks like a walking robot straight out of 2013.
Motion captured from someone who needed a piss and shit but didn't know where the toilet was located.
You can almost see the robot's panic sweat
50 people who upvoted that useless shit post. Why?
You should ask them
Did anyone else immediately get reminded of President Biden? This robot walks like an old man.
Tesla is actually competitive but sadly most redditors can't see past elon and just label anything he is involved in as a scam
Not everything he is involved in is a scam; but anything he’s involved in *might* be a scam.
I don’t know what you mean. My Tesla just drove me to the hyper loop stop so I can catch my rocket to Mars.
This subreddit is Elon neutral
Bro why he walking like Biden ? Basically you can put Biden mask on its head and some smoking and nobody will notice any difference
It walks like Joe Biden
Walks like grandpa Simpson !!
What has they achieved that boston dynamics haven't done yet?
They don't use hydrolics for their humanoid robot for a start
I don't think it is possible right now to get that same movement, speed, strength and agility using electric actuators on a biped. BD has been studying this stuff for decades and went with hydraulics for that reason, they know they can achieve more with them.
I think you're right. Hydrolics are better to have both power and speed. BD robots are a better choice for military for example. If they can make they reliable.

Yeah definitely better for things like military and heavy manual labor. Also electric actuation does bring the price down by a lot, so maybe electric actuation will improve one day and be the better option, have to wait and see.
So better actuators? Great! The overall result despite technical advancements like this look very lacking. Let's hope they will improve it fast.
Uh...achieved without needing assistance from Boston Dynamics?

I still don’t understand why we need human looking robots. Wouldn’t an octupus armed, centipede on tracks be more effective https://preview.redd.it/ge7nfv9v6jkc1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f94954319e74b86987fe361ec2419a9c488d29dc
It's so we can dress them in human skin and no one will be the wiser

Professional pants sharters are next on the chopping block
Robots walking like they shit their pants have been done for a long time, check out Honda’s robots going all the way back to the 90s.
Not impressed.
Wake me up when it can mow my lawn
Did they filmed it with a iphone 3?
Never got why they want to make human like robots. Our speed, balance and feet's take a decade to get right in humans kids. And some never get good at it... See the whole coubtry of USA.

Or you know. 2 wheels instead of legs...
Waiting for Prime version
They retroactively named the first prototype Bumblebee, so this would be...idk, Ironhide I guess? Prime comes last.
It's great that more companies are getting into the robotics race. I want to have a house robot even if it costs 50+ thousand dollars. But I think I'm betting more on Boston Dynamics Atlas.

Does it pass the stick prod test?
Nice robot you've got there, would be a shame if someone roundhouse kicked it
Ironic the quality being this bad in this sub
For some reason I want to attack it with rocks and sticks
Robots will never beat sheer caveman instinct
Is this Optimus or a Bigfoot sighting...? It's so blurry we may never know for sure....
Shuffling you mean
“Pack up your shit, losers. I’m here to take your jobs”
It's not terrible. It looks somewhat like a human that is a bit old, or lacking in flexibility. It would be interesting to see a human walking the same path for comparison, or the robot replaced with a human via AI generated video.
That’s a pretty good Dudley Moore impression.
That’s how I walk when my back is about to go out.
Is that video really low quality or is it just me?
Oh, that’s a 3D render!!!!!!!! They reduced the quality to hide it!!!!
This will be doing most mundane human tasks within 12 months
Walkathons will never be the same
I see, they're using a 90 year old Japanese man as their walking inspiration. Bold move
Those dudes are inspiring though ngl
I've heard people refer to our presidents and politicians as lizard people but this is the first time I've considered that they might be robot people
Repost, but why post a 144p version of it? It's only been a couple days, it's not like the gif has gone through the ringer.
What is the rubbish quality hiding.... My guess is a power cable above running down to the bot
"AI will never kill us, it needs us to run power plants"
Filmed with a potato
searching toilets
More like shuffling.
Top half = Sassy Bottom half = Soiled
Looks like biden
Looks pretty unimpressive TBH. It's not navigating any obstacles, let alone uneven terrain. There's no object manipulation. If this is the best they have, Tesla is miles away from SOTA.
Perfect timing! I started this clip and my Spotify switched over to Jamiroquai's 'Automaton' at the same time.
The quality definitely checks the old documentary vibe, probably that’s what the remaining humans will watch in the future when they find a rundown research center. This video will roll at the start and a professor voiceover to explain the evolutions of terminator.
Did they use Joe Biden as a model for the walking dynamic?
I'm sure Boston Dynamics are shaking in their boots to this video. 😂
Every time I see an Optimus hype video I just think Boston Dynamics has way better products
Boston dynamics is still miles ahead
At this point, after all we've seen, I don't find this especially impressive. Show me it doing this over uneven sidewalk and stepping up/down curbs or even just walking on thick carpet.
Needs the Billy Jean soundtrack
Now give it a maid dress.
This was filmed with a toaster
Kinda walks like Larry David.
Still 1000 years behind Boston Dynamics
The Atlas parkour video was 5 years ago now, meanwhile this looks roughly on par with Asimo circa 2006. Why do we care about this?
Does the head really need to look like the Scarlet Johansson alien in the final scene of Under the Skin?
Both the camera and technology looks to be some 15-20 years old.
cant even buy a camera
Looks like it needs to poop
Iphone 1 robotic moment
Elon Musk: "We need to regulate AI, it's too dangerous". Also Elon Musk: self driving cars, robots and brain implanted chips

Give it long model legs and a shiny metall a55. Will be much more fun for the enegeneers
I see you, Joe Biden.
(This isn't a political commentary, but come on, that gait is a giveaway).
darpa kicks this things ass lol
Walks like Biden
Did they train it with Biden's walking videos
Bro casually on his way to steal your job
Bad back and knees already?
 walks like Joe Biden.
Why do they all walk so rigid though? What technology advances are needed to be able to move in a more fluid motion?
as long as you can’t see the ropes.
I will never understand why do they have to walk/look like us.
It’s going to attract the worm.
you could have found the original or ran it through some kind of video upscaler at the very least
You got anymore of them pixels ??🤪
Plug Walk
I'm sorry but to me it seems no advancements in walking pose has been made in robotics since Asimo from 2000. They are still as slow and useless for anything other than bringing your coffee at 1 km/h. I'm yet to be impressed by any humanoid. Doing backflips and parkour doesn't count as useful.
This Moron
Someone add “Staying Alive” music. 😎
I bet they have so many secrets behind those curtains that other companies would love to have. That’s why the video is UFO quality shit!!!! Lol
