Optimus Can Walk On Rough Terrain Thanks to Neural Networks

Tesla’s humanoid robot Optimus is able to walk on rough terrain thanks to neural networks. This was announced by American businessman and billionaire Elon Musk on the social network X.

A video has been posted on the social network demonstrating the robot’s abilities as it descends and climbs up a mountain. In addition, the video shows the robot almost losing its balance and almost falling, but it manages to stay on its feet.

What is characteristic is that the robot does not yet use its vision to assess the steepness of the descent, relying only on sensors, information from which is read by a neural network and gives commands to actuators with a delay of no more than 2 or 3 ms, allowing the robot to maintain balance.
