Dec 11 2024, 10:30 AM EST Share on Facebook Elon Musk: Neural Nets Help Optimus Balance Musk also shared that the Optimus bot can run up and down that small hill because of its latest 'neural nets' around its body to control its electric limbs for the precise movement it needs to walk its talk. What is even more impressive is that according to Interesting Engineering, Optimus has undergone these tests without previously trying to walk this terrain, with its neural nets capable of processing movements in around 2 to 3ms. Tesla Optimus Advancements and Features It has been two years since Elon Musk introduced Optimus to the world by having it stand beside him during a Tesla AI day, with the CEO announcing that it can soon help in various setups, may it be for homes or factories. Tesla also touted Optimus' strength in a previous showcase for the humanoid bot by having it lift an entire piano, the concert grand kind, as it has an actuator on its legs. According to Musk, Optimus was made to help fulfill tasks for various needs, may it be helping out in one's home or working in factories to automate and expedite jobs with its massive capabilities. However, apart from this important work, Musk also claimed that Optimus can do boring, dangerous, and repetitive tasks for humans as one's assistant bot. The machine, originally known as the Tesla Bot, went from zero to hero over the years as it presented significant capabilities and rapid development for what it has to offer, with generative AI possibly powering the bot to expand more of its features. While Optimus is still walking like a machine and seems unnatural for humans, it has improved capabilities now thanks to its neural net, capable of running up that hill.
