Tesla Shows A Humanoid Robot Sorts Objects And Does Yoga
Tesla celebrated last weekend not with the usual revelations for its CEO, but with the publication of a video on the pages of the social network X, which demonstrates progress in training humanoid robots Optimus in various movements and complex operations that involve the use of neural networks for training.
A short video explains that Optimus robots have learned to independently calibrate the accuracy of the movements of their limbs, using only sensors built into the joints and a machine vision system. The latter is also used to train neural networks and teach robots to perform certain tasks.
As an example, the operation of sorting plastic construction blocks according to color criteria was demonstrated. Construction pieces of two colors were placed in front of the robot, and it had to sort them into two trays according to color. The robot coped with the task even if the situation changed periodically – the person watching it moved the sorted parts to new places. At the same time, secondary conditions were also observed – for example, the construction blocks must be positioned strictly vertically, and if necessary, the robot would turn them over.
The inverse task has also been mastered – arranging objects in random order. Well, as a bonus scene, the video demonstrates the robot’s ability to imitate yoga exercises, maintaining balance even when leaning on one leg.
