Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Atlas vs. Optimus: Boston Dynamics & Tesla’s Humanoid Robots”.
There’S a new humanoid robot in town and it moves like a contortionist RoboCop. Today, we’re going to take a look at Boston Dynamics, Next Generation Atlas robot and see how it compares to Tesla’s Optimus, let’s get into it Boston, dynamics’s New Atlas, humanoid robot emerges just as the company retires. Its original Atlas now called HD Atlas. The new Atlas is fully electric, a departure from the Hydraulics that powered HD Atlas. Boston Dynamics has also introduced some new features, most notably the ability to move in superhuman ways. Boston Dynamics says it made this new Atlas to be quote stronger, more dexterous and more agile. Will the new Atlas compete with its fellow humanoid robots like the Tesla bot and digit from agility robotics in doing warehouse work, or is it aiming to play a different role in their press release? Boston Dynamics gave some hints new.
Grippers are in development that could serve a variety of functions and the new design signals the company’s move toward commercialization. The classic version of Atlas has become internet famous through a series of videos showing it dancing flipping doing parkour and taking one heck of a beating not to be outdone. Elon also chose dancing as a method for introducing Tesla’s humanoid robot, unlike the Tesla bot, which has had commercialization as its end goal from the start. Hd Atlas was more of a research platform for exploring movement, testing, robustness and possible use cases. Much of the testing footage we’ve seen from these companies reflects that, for example, Tesla bot is often shown performing various types of Labor with the occasional yoga POS thrown in whereas Boston Dynamics, promotional videos for HD Atlas tended to focus on the robot’s capabilities with the occasional Worktask thrown in that being said, Boston Dynamics is certainly no newcomer to the commercial robotics field spot. Its surveillance, Patrol and monitoring robot has been in use, doing site inspections at various facilities for several years and has even been put to use by a handful of police departments around the country. Let me know how you feel about that down. In the comments stretch.
Another Boston Dynamics, robot has been specifically made for warehouse work. Boston Dynamics seems to be positioning the new Atlas as something that can be used alongside spot and stretch in Warehouse settings. Spot can monitor. Map and gather data stretch can move large objects and Atlas can do what Atlas does both Tesla and Boston Dynamics have strikingly similar Visions for how and where their robots will be put to use. Tesla says Optimus is made for tasks that are quote unsafe, repetitive or boring, and Boston Dynamics says it’s. Atlas is made for tasks that are quote dull, dirty and dangerous.
This rolls into the overarching industrywide sales pitch that says: robots aren’t here to take your jobs they’re here to augment people or to do the jobs that most people don’t want. How that plays out in reality remains to be seen. Boston Dynamics hasn’t yet released. The full specs of its new Atlas robot, so, unfortunately, we can’t can’t get into a lot of the nitty-gritty details, so I’ll have to save that for another video, please subscribe.
If you don’t want to miss it, what do you think of the humanoid robots? Let us know down in the comments, as always thanks so much for watching. I’M your host Jesse oral, see you next time with the fam .
