The chess match between Tesla and Boston Dynamics' humanoid robots isn't just about pre-programming and AI; it also hinges on the choice of Powertrain. Instead of utilizing a hydraulic drive like Boston Dynamics' Atlas bot, Elon Musk developed Optimus with a distinct electric drive from Tesla, which he claims is top-notch globally. Optimus' ability to walk with bent knees is highlighted as a crucial energy-saving feature. These factors are pivotal in determining the future breakthrough of the Tesla bot. Tesla aims to release a limited number of Optimus models by late 2025, with around 100 units speculated. However, uncertainty looms over Musk's ability to meet this target. The Optimus project is actively recruiting for various positions, including production roles, indicating Tesla's commitment to advancing humanoid robotics. The unique gait of the Tesla bot, reminiscent of an elderly person's walk, is attributed to a significant concept conceived by Musk himself. This walking style, although seemingly unconventional, is observed in many humanoid robots, including Boston Dynamics' Atlas. Despite its deviation from the typical human gait, this bent-knee movement serves a purpose beyond mere aesthetics.
