tells you something horrible.
Super Charging Station founder, former TOP3 undergraduate student in philosophy, name of Dong Car Club, the man behind automotive AI technology, the chief special blow in Greater China, DMS blind spot, bad teacher's lifelong enemy - Chang Wanduzijier Yan, decided to fire all the backbone of the company!
Because after reading the humanoid robot on Tesla AI Day, he decided to purchase it in large quantities to replace the existing inefficient human resources structure. In response to this, I, who had just joined the company for two months, said, "Boss, I can repair motorcycles and robots."
Back to the point, this year Tesla AI Day was the king of the beginning, and the new version of Tesla Bot was unveiled, with the internal code name "Optimus Optimus".
Musk admitted that last year's Tesla Bot was pretended to be in a robotic skin.
And this year, the "essence" under the guise of Tesla Bot met us for the first time, and it can be called the "exploration version" of the Bot world. Its tortoise is equipped with an FSD computing platform, exposed circuit boards and mechanical structure, making it look more like a "terminator".
On the stage of AI Day, Tesla Bot walked slowly towards the stage and waved his hand to greet the audience, which was very friendly.
It is worth noting that This is the FSD computing platform on Tesla car . It is used on humanoid robots for the first time and has visual recognition capabilities.
In Tesla's office, Tesla Bot can carry boxes or water flowers; in the factory, it can also carry some simple parts (but the action is a bit slow).
Musk said that Tesla Bot humanoid robots are still in their early stages, but the team has made long-term efforts and has carried out many targeted and complex designs on the robots.
For example, the finger part of Tesla Bot has good flexibility and can grab and use tools to perform some repetitive work.
The current Tesla Bot version can already walk independently and grab some items. For humanoid robots, the most core part is the "brain", which is the FSD computing platform, which needs to perceive the physical world and move and interact on its own.
Musk said that the cost of humanoid robots will drop significantly in the future, about 20,000 US dollars per, about 143,000 yuan. , the world's richest man, said that if robots are everywhere in the future, the human economy will develop better, and people can choose to do physical work, but this is not necessary. We can choose more mental labor.
At the same time, he did not forget to make a job advertisement: "Inside Tesla, he will choose directions and do what he thinks is right. Self-driving cars are very important and will bring revolutionary changes to transportation. Humanoid robots can play a greater value in productivity. I hope Tesla AI Bot can develop cautiously and orderly, and hope that more people will join in to achieve more ideas and the best results."
Tesla Bot is based on Tesla's automobile engineering technology and has done some directional work for humanoid robots, such as reducing the complexity of parts. integrates the calculation from the sensor, and is integrated into a unified battery pack for functions; and an efficient cooling system to dissipate heat on the PCB motherboard. The most important central brain, this part of the hardware comes from Tesla's FSD, of course, some structural adjustments need to be made to robots, such as more wireless connection modules.
How to transplant Tesla's capabilities in automobiles to humanoid robots? Engineers gave an example, they simulated the fall scene of a robot based on car impact tests to protect the "brain" central computing platform.
How can make a robot walk more naturally? On the one hand, Tesla will allow robots to learn multimodal by combining software and hardware, and at the same time, it will also refer to biological structures, such as human knees, to fine-tune mechanical aspects such as torque on mechanical structures.
Tesla said that Tesla Bot's legs have high flexibility, and even if you do large kicks, it will not damage the joint drive.
This part of the technology has also evolved from the automotive drive (that is, motor) technology. Engineers will parse the driver's mechanical data through the point cloud simulation method, so that the driver can perform each action accurately. Different drivers, driving methods and torques are different.
Although it is only used to drive mechanical joints, the Tesla Tesla Bot driver has a powerful output power and can even lift a piano.
Tesla Bot The hand driver structure is relatively micro and the most complex. Engineers want to grab small and thin objects, which requires full consideration of ergonomic design, which should be able to grab items in the factory like humans. In the current first version of
, Tesla Bot can move both the upper and lower body, and record the trajectory of the travel and learn the environment. Tesla hopes that the robot can better understand the environment and at least realize the function of finding the charging potential itself.
This is actually achieved by the sweeping robots in our home now, but compared to wheel drive, the movement trajectory of the humanoid robot is definitely more complicated and needs to maintain a safe distance from the surrounding environment.
Therefore, Tesla Bot requires physical "consciousness" and the ability to move freely, maintain balance, and deal with environmental risks.
In terms of motion path planning, engineers have learned a lot of experience from cars. In the process of applying it to robots, many previous engineering ideas have been verified.
Of course, the real world is much more complex than simulation. Tesla Bot will respond to the real world. Tesla believes that this feature is very important. Engineers believe that the more human-like the robot's gait, the better. They will constantly learn their own movement trajectory in order to communicate with the surrounding environment more naturally.
It can be seen that Tesla's talented engineers have done a lot of meticulous software and hardware work in the mechanical structure of the drive. These jobs will make Tesla Bot's moves more like a human, while potentially having more powerful muscles than humans.
According to the parameters provided by Tesla, the human body structure (Human Form) weighs 73kg, the power consumption during meditation is 100W, and the power consumption during brisk walking is 500W (100W sitting, 500W brisk walking). The entire body has 200+ DoF degrees of freedom, and the hand freedom reaches 27 DoF.
Similar to humans controlling limb movements through the cerebellum and neural central system, Tesla Bot's drivers and connectors of all sizes also require the computing power of the FSD computing platform to command, and continuously accumulate data for machine learning.
The good news is that Tesla has done a lot of work on FSD.
021, 2,000 people participated in the FSD Beta test, and in 2022 this number increased to 160,000.
FSD can be regarded as a "multi-camera video neural network" to predict future actions of the surrounding environment. The camera will collect massive amounts of video data, which may be split into many frames. How does Tesla train this video model?
The answer is GPU cluster, which may be the largest video processing supercomputer in the world. It is necessary to use video clipping efficiency to be high. It is recommended that we purchase a set for our photographer Boge. Of course, if the Tesla Bot purchased by Chang Yan arrives, the eldest prince may also face the fate of being deposed.
In addition to the serious version of Tesla Bot we mentioned above, Musk also spoiled an Easter egg on social media abroad - Tesla Bot will launch the Catwoman version.
is cooler and more handsome, and a rendering has ignited my robot soul.
. Returning to the fact that Boss Chang wanted to replace employees with Tesla Bot, I found that the only thing that this company cannot be missing is Mr. An, who is responsible for business. But we calculated that he also needed Tesla Bot so that he could control it remotely and drink with thirty party members at the same time. Of course, the robots that Party A may also be sent.
Musk Have you heard of the user's needs? I hope your company can launch Tesla Drink Bot as soon as possible, thank you.
At the same time, we also gave a benefit to students who did not forget to follow us during the holidays. If you reply to "Tesla Wallpaper Welfare" in the background, you will get two official Tesla mobile wallpapers. Move your fingers and reply.
