They still have the hockey stick around as a reminder to Atlas.
Wow…that thing is straight is nightmare fuel as it turns to walk back to get another whatever it’s moving.

Normal, if stiff, human range of motion. Until it rotates completely around the waist!

So much uncanny valley creepy vibes when it does that. Like you’re anthropomorphizing and suddenly it snaps you out of it haha.

Haha, totally, especially combined with the sounds of its evenly paced steps. I can see myself shuddering at that sound while hiding from them, crawling behind destroyed cars and other debris through dark and grey streets in a dystopian future…

When it stands up, it made me think that RoboCop and the Pixar Lamp had a baby 😱

They missed demoing it working with hockey stick guy harassing it.
I think the skills are pretty cool though.

That guy didn’t even work there, he just wandered in.

Meanwhile, Tesla is showing off pretend robots to serve drinks to Elon stans. Don’t look behind the curtain.

Now, I’ve no love for Musk or his BS but I keep hearing that they were actors in costumes, yet they were actually remote controlled robots, like you might see at a theme park. If instead of trying to pass them off as automatonomous, AI driven robots, they were to market them as surrogates (like the movie) that would be far less stupid. They might even sell if they were associated with a dumbass.

Teslabot only need AI control to be a viable human worker replacement. They will release it earlier than they should and there will be problems that they lean through public beta testing(see Tesla autonomous driving.)
Atlas is incubating in an internal beta so it can be exactly what they want to deliver. I honestly think Atlas is good enough to be put in the real world as-is, but I applaud their patience and desire to have as close to perfection as possible.
I expect Teslabot to retail over their $30k estimate, probably closer to $60k at turn-key. Atlas I expect to be closer to $100k or more with support contracts. Teslabot will probably be the hot product for the wealthy to act as a butler or grocery getter when paired with an autonomous Tesla. Atlas will be more commercially successful but a small number of rich nerds would totally get one to play with.

100% that Optimus can’t even recover themselves after falling down, or even self balance when bump into. They have to clear the line for Optimus to carefully walk toward the crowd lol.
