The tech is amazing. I cannot, however, understand how they expect widespread commercial use. I am an engineer. Among many things I do, one of them is robot automation for industrial applications. I would anticipate the real-world cost of these to be rather extreme. Much, much simpler articulating arm type units are already expensive, complex, and challenging to integrate into real applications. The more complex the system is, the more it will break. The more maintenance. The more specialized the system, the more expensive the parts and technicians are to keep it going. At the end of the day.....to be interesting it MUST make more money than it costs. The cost is the purchase price plus the real operating costs. The real operating costs will certainly be substantial.

I am going to miss hydraulic Atlas, but I am excited for this new Atlas

It's definitely impressive. But keep in mind that Boston Dynamics has always been more of a research lab and have never really been able to make any money. They continue to record huge losses every year while creating a lot of cool videos and demos that get a lot of social media attention. But it isn't an insignificant leap to go from cool demos to an actual scalable product that you can sell and support in the thousands or millions.

How long does Atlas last on a charge? Doesn’t seem like there’s a lot of space for batteries on it. And, what can it actually do, other than just ambulate?

Your tile made me laugh for a long time.🤣🤣

I would say this is not the best argument. I would say from an engineering standpoint of why they made the switch is very critical to having an understanding what really made Boston dynamics to make this change. A hydraulic system can give more force than compared to electric motors. As it is just a gas chamber being compressed back and forth. Although it can generate much more force it is extremely slow. An example would be an office chair, hydraulic systems are all the same as gas is compressed in a chamber and exchanged between two spaces. However change from out to in is not instant which can be shown from early versions of robots with clunky movement. Which is the computer doing calculations to bring the position back to origin to create the next set of calculations without error. So the question is why they hadn't used electric motors beforehand, its not like the company was trying to be more economically efficient but that electric motors was not a viable option for the previous model. Electric motors could not generate enough torque or force to support the old atlas. My proof comes from the completely different torso sizes. The old atlas housed a much more beefier processing compartment and database because of the physics models they render. My proof would be something like the new nvidia simulation training computer. They were pretty much running a monster machine at the time inside a computer; which answers the questions of why they would rely on a hydraulic system to support the robot. However new ai models have completely changed their workflow and made their physics models more seamless. No longer would they need to run specific calculations in real time with a beefy machine but are able to output information from their physics models. A huge benefit to the overall robotics space. As seen from previous generation of robots, calculations were being done on the robot itself having a huge strain of weight, energy, and time. However private ai models like even lama with a bit of tweaking with their old math models is more than enough to create great output that works well enough to interact with the world with significantly less real-time rendering involved. My experience would be with the spot robot last year, the quadrupedal movement was hard enough to program and calculate for, I am not even able to comprehend the amount of calculations and real time data the old atlas had to generate constantly to perform. As quadrupedal architecture has a larger degree of acceptable error as compared to a bipedal system. So in this aspect Boston dynamics might be miles ahead of other robotic companies as of this moment because they have and had so much more time to generate all the edge-cases and simulations for movement. However that is also overlooking on the whole goal of ai which is reduction in overall compute and more assumptions. Also, you think people mine coal with pickaxes?, we use machinery, maybe in those third world countries but what third world country mining facility would pay millions instead of a couple dollars for some labor. Also from an engineering design point what is the point of a robot versatile at a lot of things instead of just one. Such a wide net to have errors and problems, how could this thing beat a fried rice robot when the thing is literally made to make friend rice by spinning with a fraction of the cost, less maintenance, and a less chance of breaking or going wrong. Don't delete this time?

Ай бұрын

With hydraulics you just need one motor to drive the hydraulic pump. With electric you need one motor for each joint. Hydraulics are lighter for this application (for the same force).

I want a spot dog so badly it's nuts.

I see the argument for robots like Spot and Stretch. Spot is an inspection bot designed to prevent the need for massive sensor arrays with multitudes of failure points in both hardware and software. Spot is a compact local solution and it is the only failure point. Stretch has less going for it, but fast, cheap deployment is a compelling argument for companies that don't already have big investments in automation, such as packing, moving, and storage companies. Atlas is weird. It's not really competing for the same customers as Optimus and Figure-1. It's bulky, harder to manufacture, and very powerful, unlike the other bots. This makes it more suited for heavy work, such as a factory, power plant or oil rig. An argument I would make for it for use in a factory is a similar argument I would make for Spot. Instead of having many job-specific robots that would add up in price maintenance cost over time, Atlas would be a general solution that could be reasonably good at most tasks. This would mean less points of failure, like with Spot. Of course, it wouldn't be good at all tasks, such as anything involving precision. If you were a company investing in automation but didn't want to fiddle around with a bunch of specialty machines with different methods of operation, software packages, and safety precautions, you could instead deploy a more versatile solution. Whether this is how it will turn out is another question entirely. Optimus and Figure-1 look to be geared towards more light-work tasks, like stocking, surveying, precision, and human assistance. Basically they are designed to be a lot closer to humans. More white-collar. They are easy to deploy AND operate (At least F-1, Optimus's method of operation is obscure and we've only seen evidence of live-mocap and preprogramming currently). They solve the ASIMO issue of needing an engineer around at all times tending to it. But I will say that ASIMO got something right that these models have failed to deliver. People are far more afraid of these robots than of ASIMO, simply because they are bigger and more human-like. ASIMO looks like furniture. Or a cartoon character. Or our childhood idea of what a robot would look like. Basically, its designed to be friendly-looking. Current models of humanoid robots don't really take this into consideration, and if they want to deploy these around people, that might put a damper on things. Overall, it's just a matter of waiting for the market to mature. We'll see if these are as applicable as these companies say they are.

You know, its funny you mentioned the (inevitable) possibility of these humanoid robots one day being developed as future partners for intimacy, speaking as a man myself, i will say that this will absolutely be the more popular application for this technology, and thats not a joke. I can wholeheartedly promise you that "lovebots" are gonna be a MASSIVE multi-billion dollar industry on its own, and i, for one, am looking forward to it.

Optimus is fully bulletproof.

If it can build iPhone without jumping or lifting by 30%, that’s a milestone.

The physical aspect is not the constraining factor - the software is. Tesla is waaaaay ahead in this aspect. They need to partner with someone like nvidia. Tesla rate of interaction is staggering - Boston have been in the game 20 years

It appears the hydraulic version was never built to scale into production whereas the electric now has this in mind. As to the humanoid form being developed I believe the rational behind that is the ability to offer something commercially that can be integrated into a environment which is currently suited for humans but moreover to pique public interest in order to further the endeavor. It would seem to me if your ambition is to replace humans for commercial applications, in many instances you would have full control over designing the environment the robot operates in and build task specific robots as part of the facilities automated eco system. This brings into question the importance of humanoid form to commercial requirements and to what degree these humanoid demonstrations are for the purpose of gaining interest. I would say the objective is in seeing how adaptable robots are in operating in complex environments without requiring someone to teach it each and every step of a task as well the ability to analyze situations which don't cleanly fit into their expectations and having them take the appropriate actions within the context of what they were assigned to carry out. BD's short demo captures this concept well. See it as human but also see it as something other than human adapting in a way a humans can't.

It's not about the "body", it's about the brain....How far is BD ahead in AI?

It has some moves! But I'm pretty sure they are scripted. But we see the inheritance from Atlas! It would be a better military robot than anything else we have seen. But that probably requires more endurance than is yet possible. So not a market for that yet. I would guess it will be pretty expensive to manufacture. So perhaps not for a mass market. It remains to see how good it's brain will be. Cooperation with someone? I'll guess Optimus will be more energy efficient, and much cheaper. We can be pretty sure they know how to get it a brain too. So, no it won't bankrupt Tesla. But maybe give them some healthy competition, so they have to strain themselves a little more. Isn't it funny that everyone now build electric humanoids? Tesla, or Musk, really drives much of the industry thinking!

Why be so short sighted? This version would be perfect for Space exploration on the moom. Eploring the lava tubes for possible human occupation in the future. Whe can actually get early tests on human designed landing systems. They don't have to be fully human rated (cheaper to strart). They just have to perform successful on point landings. Tesla claimed their capsule could do a powered landing of a human crew back on earth. Put that claim to the test but on the moon. Once there they can prepare a landing field for future missions, deploy a "crane" for lifting up and down equipment into the lava tubes. Power can come from RTG's where the robots just plug in for a charge on a regular schedule. The same goes for Mars. They could assemble a rocket launch pad and build a "Sounding" rocket to launch our samples back from Mars. That would be truely reusable, our skycrane technology is very accurate. Rather than crashing them off in the distance. We can possibly land them and reuse some of the parts for building the return rocket. Less risk and way more ROI going that route vs. a factory of humanoid robots working 24/7 producing whatever for "humans" to buy? With what money? If even the factory jobs are fully automated like Elon wants. The one place the human race will always have a labor shortage is in space. These robot helpers do not have to be fully autonomous. Tell it what to do, it does it. Humans remotely control its actions. Sure we can create a library of "responses" or "actions" for repetitive work. Look beyond for their usefulness. We need space rated versions of this ASAP!

You haven't thought thing through! What we have seen from Optimus is just mostly testing the hardware. With exception of that sort8ng demo, which was a test of the learning meth9d. I think Tesla is now pretty fed up with copying them. So they won't show what they are doing to that degree. But Atlas isn't copying the mechanics. They are doing there own thing, except for going electric. That's something Tesla inspired them too do.

@@pdavidson33 the T shirt folding video was a fake. There's a human attached doing the movements and Tesla accidentally left him in frame so they had to admit it was not autonomous.

The thing would bankrupt Boston Dynamics if it wasn't for Darpa who has a limitless amount of money from Army generals that need new toys.

I watched this video on X last night and couldn't tell if it was real or AI - if real, why did they make it stand up in the creepiest way possible? Just to troll Elmo?

So tesla robots are already behind?

Tesla has always been behind the question is how fast can they catch up and what extra IP (AI) do they bring and can they produce it for 20k$ per robot as promised by Elon M.. So for the coming years don't expect too much besides some demo clips. Many other robots from competitors you can already buy but mostly for a specific task and the price is rather high.

Nah its fine. Too many Teslainvestors pumping, we need an opposite side as well.

Tesla has a better brain than Boston Dynamics. Tesla will catch up and build it way cheaper. BD has been around for like 20 years, pretty slow progress.

Ditto. They are 20 years ahead of Tesla.

Boston dynamics does not have the manufacturing capability of tesla, not even close. Even if they are first to market, tesla will dominate

Ayoo?

Yep, your video is about Tesla, or how? Why is Tesla in danger, and not all others doing the same thing? Clickbait, BS, and a lot of ....BS! You people cannot see that this robot is just a technological demonstrator with no real-life meaning (seems like Boston Dynamics is in panic and made this)? Who needs those joints, and for what activity/purpose? PS: Logic, why should someone buy an acrobatic robot with no dexterity in fingers (Is it just me, or has this robot already arthritis, as hands are fixed in that characteristic position!)? Is its purpose to climb a rope, or play in a Circus?

Bankrupt Tesla? That's delusional

You need to stop calling them Boston Dynamics. Is just Hyundai now.

Hyundai owns 80% of Boston Dynamics, so Hyundai pretty much has total control of BD. Mechanics of robots is hard, but mechanics is trivial compared to designing robot AI which will allow a robot to independently engage and work with dynamic changing environment full of people and other machines. Tesla is nowhere with it's optimus Teslabot. Musk's touting of optimus as serious product this or next year is another one of his whopper lies. Musk should have bid for BD and bought it while it was available but apparently Musk didn't realize he needed Teslabot back in 2021! LOL

They need to make him look like baymax!

Bullshit

Something tells me you have a wierd hate for Tesla. Lol, hope you find peace in your mind and start believing Live and let Live. 😂😂😂😂
