Boston dynamics has been building and researching robots longer than Tesla has been a company. My money is on Boston dynamics...
-
Let's just hope that light on its head doesn't turn red.
-
Teslabot hobbles along like it's got load in its pants. It can barely walk. Compare that to Atlas sprinting off camera.
-
Boston Dynamics casually flexing and showing why they're the frontrunners of humanoid robotics lol.
-
Atlas - an actual ai robot Cyber bot - basically a mannequin with a motor or 2 that's remotely controlled by a human. Tesla bot is never not suspended by a cable
-
The thing I don’t understand is that Tesla’s bot reminds me a lot of Honda’s Asimo… from 20 years ago. Boston Dynamics bot actually feels like a real step forward in robotics.
-
It's an insult to the years of hard work, research and dedication by Boston Dynamics, to even mention Teslabots in the same sentence.
-
"dull dirty & dangerous" is a perfect band name... for a fully automated robot-trio.
-
I love the part where the Boston Dynamics people said, “It's ULTRAKILLing time!”
-
personally, I like the aestetic of the older Atlas -- it has that retro future appeal
-
I think the biggest likely difference between the Boston Dynamics Atlas and Tesla Optimus is that one is an amazing feat of technology, and the other is yet another publicity stunt by Tesla.
-
Why even being tesla into the conversation they’re eons behind Boston dynamics
-
Tesla bot looks like a toaster compared to the Boston Dynamics robot.
-
if I were BD, I wouldn’t appreciate you elevating the Teslabot to the level of my advanced robotics.
-
We habe Atlas moving like an athlete while the tesla bot dances like a granny without even being able to reposition its feet (would not surprise me if they were bolted to the floor). They are not competing in the same league
-
By the looks of it, It's way more advanced that either of those other ones mentioned.
-
Boston Dynamics products is just years ahead of the Tesla products. Years and years ahead. Plus they don't need human actors in costumes.
-
Boston Dynamics is worlds ahead. I can think of a thousand real world applications for use today. AI can be taught, we just have to teach them right.
-
Imagine getting unalived by a ring doorbell.
-
Optimus looks like a butler while Atlas looks like he could 360 dropkick a dude.
