Teslas OPTIMUS GEN-2 Just SHOCKED The ENTIRE INDUSTRY! Full Breakdown + Technical Report

LARRUZ breaks down Tesla's Optimus Gen-2 trailer, highlighting untethered walking, faster movement, and delicate handling like picking up an egg. The video questions whether the demo used VR teleoperation or on-board autonomy, and compares Optimus to robots from Google, Sanctuary AI, and Kepler.

So, with the release of Tesla's Optimus Generation 2, I thought I'd make this video to show you how crazy this really is and why Tesla's Optimus 2 is truly the future of AI. And a couple of things in the field of robotics that you ought to see if you're a fan of Tesla, especially in the section that is robotics. So we're going to take a look at this trailer, then I'm going to break it down, and then I'm going to show you some things you really didn't know. Okay? So with the Tesla Optimus trailer, one of the first things that many people didn't notice was the fact that, that although last time we saw Tesla Optimus doing quote, unquote, well in a video, it did actually receive a lot of flak. And that was, for one thing, the fact that the Tesla Optimus was actually being held up by a cable to a wall. And now what we've seen with the Tesla Optimus Generation 2 is that this robot is completely, I would say, autonomous in the fact that it is walking without any guided string. Many times when we do see robots in development, we do see them being held up, because, as you know, like in the back right here, you can see that this is usually what you see when robots are in development. And if you check the last video where Tesla Optimus Generation 1 was, we actually saw that the Tesla was actually being just previously held up or before being released. And that essentially just means that they haven't really fixed all the balance controls. And when they know that, they don't want their robot to essentially just be constantly taking beatings, because, of course, robots are really sensitive. And of course, one thing that you must know about humanoid robots is, is that they're really, really expensive. So some of the robots that we are going to be looking at in this video are not the price of like a computer or a phone. They are hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars. And without any kind of, you know, support, then that means that the development is definitely further along than we did think. Now, what was also very interesting was, of course, like I said, improved balance and for what we'll have, especially in robot demos. And I've seen this a lot because I've looked at a lot of research papers and is that these demos that we do have are incredibly slow. Like, you know, if you look at Google's Palm E robot, where they essentially put, you know, the Palm language model into a robot, and then they did certain things where they made that robot essentially use its large language model to do certain things. I would say that it looks really, really slow. But this one, okay, and I'm talking about the previous one that looks really, really slow, shows us that in real time that is super, super fast. I don't think I've seen any robot that is that quick just yet. And I'm going to show you some of the other robots that we do have. Now, one thing that I do hope that this isn't okay is that this is VR teleop mode. And I'm going to show you some clips of VR teleop because most people don't know what that is. And basically VR teleop is essentially where you can move robots really, really fast. And basically, you know, a VR headset, like a VR meta quest headset, essentially you have that. And with that VR meta quest headset, essentially you can control the robot. And that is something really, really commonly done in, in robotics in order to control it, because it's an easier way to control the robot in terms of, you know, actually getting the correct dexterity, the correct movement that you do want. So I do hope Tesla come out and say that that isn't VR tally up. And if it isn't, which it probably isn't, that means that that is really, really insane. Because that just shows us that these guys are really, really advanced in terms of how quickly they're will they're able to move the robot and the, the kind of dexterity. Because like I said, if you watch any other robot demos, you're going to see that it's sped up two times, at least three times, which means that if it's not sped up, that means it's definitely going to have a really, really nice amount in terms of how it's going to be used. Because one of the things that people have talked about was the fact that a lot of these robots do walk really, really slowly. So if we just have like a 20 improvement where robots walk around as much as us or as fast as us, that is going to be something that we can actually use and something that is going to be really, really useful. Because slow walking robots that are less inefficient than us isn't going to be something that we can use just yet. But if we do manage to get to that stage where these things move really, really quickly, then that is going to be very, very effective. Now, another thing that we do have here was the delicate object manipulation. And this is a key thing. Now I do think that people need to understand here that although other robots have done this. And I'm going to show you some clips of other robots doing this because there are a lot of robots that I want to show you guys. For example, this Sanctuary AI robot that you can see right here, that is picking some stuff up. The thing about this, though, is that you can see that this was actually an egg. Okay? And of course, with this one, okay, with this robot right here, no offense to the tanks, you AI team, but I do believe that Tesla's robot is pretty good because handling and placing an egg in the correct spot is very, very hard. Okay? And this essentially, if you're wondering what I'm comparing this to, this is Sanctuary AI's robot. It's essentially a humanoid robot that another company is also developing robotics. Because why this is crazy is because, not that this is like the first time we've ever seen anything like this, it's not. The craziness about this is the fact that this is being developed so rapidly. It was only a couple of months ago that we saw the Tesla Generation 1, and of course, now we're seeing Tesla Generation 2. Now, what's crazy is that other companies are in on this too. Okay? What's crazy is that literally, I think it was yesterday or a couple of days ago, there was a company that basically released their one, and it looks so eerily similar to what Tesla has released. I don't think. Of course, they have maybe the same engineering research and design AI department and stuff. You know, like, Tesla's an insane company. They have insane minds there. They have, you know, definitely a huge infrastructure. But this Kepler company released this robot that is very, very eerily similar to the Tesla Optimus. And of course, it's sparked a little bit of debate online about how crazy humanoid robots are going to be in the future. Because when we do have multiple different companies all racing and rushing to develop their own version of a humanoid robot, we can see that this is going to be something interesting. Now, of course, you can see that the walking is of course not as good, but at the same time, it does show us how crazy and how effective some of these robots can be. But what I also want to show you guys is some of the other robots that are being developed, because Tesla Optimus, when I look at that video, when I look at this first video, I actually look at this video within reference to the other robot. So I know how good this demo is and how effective this actually does look. And one thing I do want to say, and although it. It doesn't really matter, but I do think that the futuristic design of the Tesla robot actually does look like the best I've ever seen. So I do want to say hats off to the design team.
