    The Honda Asimo Robot was more advanced in 2014 than Tesla and Groot bots. Honda stopped developing ASIMO and the tech is now being used in that Atlas robot. It’s why it’s running and walking looks so smooth. ASIMO could hop on one foot in its last iteration.

    Is Tesla running their AI off of NVIDIA GPUs or not?

    • @odw32

      March 22, 2024 at 5:12 pm

      No, they’ve designed their own SoC chip which is produced by TSMC.
      It is most likely a 7nm chip, designed by ex-AMD employees recruited by Tesla. It probably shares some protocols/architecture characteristics with their Dojo D1 server chips. In that case it’s not exactly a GPU, but the architecture is likely optimized for AI inference. I’m quite sure they’ll train on the Dojo chips, and use the onboard SoC for inference.

    Nvidia chips in all those robots and which one is actually a game changer? None, just concepts with no avenues for practical use apart from gimmicks. Not to say that Tesla’s Optimus is anywhere far either but at least we have seen Tesla and Elon’s SpaceX take concepts that everyone called impossible, FSD not withstanding, to completion, no matter how long it takes.

    I think simulated training will prove to be the winner here. Have them train tasks a million times in a week then upload whatever you want them to do.

    Uploading kung fu to a robot will be possible in the near future like they did with neo in the matrix.

    I think in some sense it’s smart of Tesla to avoid dependency on “the Nvidia Monopoly” — but especially short term, Nvidia (and partners) will have an enormous advantage due to their scale, services and singular focus. In other words, bots using the Nvidia stack will likely be “better”, but Nvidia has not always treated their their downstream partners well (EVGA being one of many), so I’d be nervous about vendor lock-in.

    Nvidia robotics is about building omniverse virtual twin to train robots much faster than what could be done in real world. Nvidia’s approach is not to build it’s own robot (except for experience building) but to prepare a platform (server and on the edge) that will support the companies that wants to develop the robots. In this way, Nvidia will be able to cover a much larger market than Tesla who wants to do all on it’s own. It reminds me the Microsoft open ended approach versus Apple closed environment in the 1985-2000 period.
    Nvidia developing a robotics ecosystem versus Tesla closed vertical integration.

    We call robots “robot” because we don’t want them to behave like humans, we want them to work like machines. The fact that big investors are backing humanoid robots now isn’t because ‘humanoid’ is intrinsically good, but because that’s the money-making proposition: making a machine that fits in paying holes currently occupied by very large numbers of not-very-well-paid humans. As soon as replacement is far enough advanced, expect optimisation to remove ‘humanoid’ features. Humans should campaign for ‘human reservations’ to prevent being optimised away. We won’t do it: mobile machines are shiny.

    the biggest challenge will be not so much computing power or increasingly even AI but the aesthetics of the robot. people forget that Japan has worked on robots for decades and has done extensive research on how people would relate and interact with robots, this shows up in their designs like Asimo and Pepper. America in contrast cant get past cold looking androids and terminator like ugliness. we need more school teachers, anthropologists, sociologists, and artists working on robot design.

    In reality, most of them will fail. Most of them will not get the same amount of resources and it will also be hard to convince customers if these robots are not affordable enough.

    Tesla is using the same AI computer as the cars, the same cameras and batteries as the car, besides the actuators and body. They already mass produce most of the robot parts. That’s the biggest strength the Tesla bot has, it is design to be mass produced and most of its parts already are mass produced for the cars. They can get to lower price sooner, instead of 30k Tesla could be at 15k in price. The competition put together won’t be at Tesla scale of production for years.

    March 23, 2024 at 9:52 am

    how about designing hands and more dexterous limbs for atlas and having boston dynamic collaborate with google or open ai.

    • @3rdPinEye

      March 23, 2024 at 9:58 am

      Optimus is not bad considering how quick it has been developed but I am sick of seeing so many rudimentary and bulky designs, designing the actual robot itself should be much easier than the programming that goes into it.

    • @3rdPinEye

      March 23, 2024 at 10:01 am

      Considering how stable spot mini and atlas have become, I think it is time to design more elaborate robots with ai dictating the algorithm that allows the robot to move, not like some wind up toy solider but similarly to an actual human.

    Tesla patents all its inventions, but it allows anybody to use those patents. The only thing is: they can’t do anything to make them proprietary. In that sense, Tesla has a leg up on the competition though they’re being behind in certain areas.

  53. @SuperVt100

    March 23, 2024 at 10:52 pm

    For example, one of those areas is speed. Boston robotics and the like have faster robots for now.

    Reality, is that Tesla ai robot can be linked to a human with the neuralink chip. This can allow a human to do bad things, via the robot avatar.. not sure if this will be outlawed, but all the hardware and software are here now.. it’s a matter of integration and implementation. We are in uncharted territory.. it’s like how the WWW was in the early 90s, we knew it has potential, but how it’s has changed our lives was unprecedented. Same with ai robotics and neuralink.. virtual worlds, avatars and possibly defence forces which wil be entire armies of robots ck trolled by a few generals? Using neuralink. Prob starships will be used to immediately transport robot armies, via space within 30 mins anywhere on earth. Elon musk, will be the evil emperor, same path that a akin skywalker took… u live long enough to be the bad guy.

    And our society takes another step towards the fulfillment of this biblical prophecy recorded thousands of years ago in the Bible regarding the events related to the end-of-times which will be preceding Christ glorious return to judge the world:

    “And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: and that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six [666].” – Revelation 13:15-18 KJV
