Atlas vs. Optimus: Boston Dynamics & Tesla's Humanoid Robots 

Let's just hope that light on its head doesn't turn red.

Boston dynamics has been building and researching robots longer than Tesla has been a company. My money is on Boston dynamics...

Boston Dynamics casually flexing and showing why they're the frontrunners of humanoid robotics lol.

I love the part where the Boston Dynamics people said, “It's ULTRAKILLing time!”

Teslabot hobbles along like it's got load in its pants. It can barely walk. Compare that to Atlas sprinting off camera.

Why even being tesla into the conversation they’re eons behind Boston dynamics

The thing I don’t understand is that Tesla’s bot reminds me a lot of Honda’s Asimo… from 20 years ago. Boston Dynamics bot actually feels like a real step forward in robotics.

Tesla bot looks like a toaster compared to the Boston Dynamics robot.

I think the biggest likely difference between the Boston Dynamics Atlas and Tesla Optimus is that one is an amazing feat of technology, and the other is yet another publicity stunt by Tesla.

personally, I like the aestetic of the older Atlas -- it has that retro future appeal

"dull dirty & dangerous" is a perfect band name... for a fully automated robot-trio.

Atlas - an actual ai robot Cyber bot - basically a mannequin with a motor or 2 that's remotely controlled by a human. Tesla bot is never not suspended by a cable

We habe Atlas moving like an athlete while the tesla bot dances like a granny without even being able to reposition its feet (would not surprise me if they were bolted to the floor). They are not competing in the same league

Boston Dynamics is worlds ahead. I can think of a thousand real world applications for use today. AI can be taught, we just have to teach them right.

By the looks of it, It's way more advanced that either of those other ones mentioned.

Boston Dynamics products is just years ahead of the Tesla products. Years and years ahead. Plus they don't need human actors in costumes.

if I were BD, I wouldn’t appreciate you elevating the Teslabot to the level of my advanced robotics.

boston dynamics robot is going to be an actual product (given their track record), tesla bot is vapourware

Imagine getting unalived by a ring doorbell.

We’re almost near Skynet, boys and girls.

I dont know why everyone wants to go with a very humanoid approach. We can literally make them do anything, but so many limit them to the same issues we have. Boston dynamics WILL pull ahead, 360 movement will be so much more useful, also who is dropping 20k per robot when it can break, fail, and is slower then a real human

Please bring back robot wars , now full size I would pay to see Optimus vs Atlas vs Figure1 in combat or on an obstacle course or both combined.

Doing the jobs that people don’t want? Isn’t that the definition of a job?😂

I don't know if you all realize this, but if Boston Dynamics (DB) was able to develop in complete secrecy a robot that is supposed to be better in every way as one that surpasses even the average human in many aspects, I don't dare to imagine what else BD has in reserve in his drawer. Without exaggeration, BD is the most advanced in the field of robotics and they are the leader in this field.

I think Atlas would be great to help elderly and old people stay on farms and ranches. I personally think I would try an Atlas and see what potential it could have in real world dynamics. How easy it was to get into and out of a 1 Ton Truck. Help get groceries. Help shovel 39.6 inches of snow from out in front of the hay barn, barn, house and back approximately 3 to 4 feet back. To help shovel out the main gate so a person can open it and secure it open. Then you can get a six-foot snow blower through to remove the rest of the snow. Help shovel a patch of ground quite some distance through 4- and 5-foot drifts in order to feed equines. Shovel a patch through same said drifts to help elderly active old crippled up woman get to each barn to shovel doors free and back 3 or 4 feet. Getting the drift here. How about going up and down stairs. How about unloading feed when it comes in 50 lb. bags. That bag is 4 times lower priced than the 20 lb bags. How about helping the working class. Legal secretaries carry legal size file boxes up and down stairs and into and lifting them onto and off of shelving. There is lots of applications to help keep people in their homes.

You missed 'Figure 1' - And you also missed the '001' on Atlas, which means theres gonna be 10s or 100s.

I hope these robots will be affordable for households to purchase. As a small business owner it would be amazing to have an infinitely trainable and tireless worker that doesn’t need health insurance, take sick/vacation days, etc.

Tesla bot won’t be ready for 4 years after musk says it’s ready Du.

Development is rapid, so we'll see how these robots do once they are put to work. The cost will, of course, be a factor in their commercial viability.

Boston Dynamics T-800 replaced with a T-1000.

i would appreciate it if you make a versus video of all the main robots. (Figure 1, Atlas, Optimus, Digit, etc...)

Optimus looks like a butler while Atlas looks like he could 360 dropkick a dude.

The new Atlas gives me Terminator vibes, and not in a good way.

I don’t trust anything Elon says, so I wouldn’t be surprised if the Tesla bot footage originated at ILM.

Robots + UBI = Win!

Why not compare Atlas to one of the actual competitors?

It's an insult to the years of hard work, research and dedication by Boston Dynamics, to even mention Teslabots in the same sentence.

Boston Dynamic robot is auditioning for the next Exorcist movie.

V1 vs Optimus Prime moment

I've been tracking 'Red' Whiteker, and Boston Dynamics for now 30 years. They're good, and had their major break in the Three Mile Island cleanup, but they take a 'top down approach' which looks good on stage. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but it requires the programmer provide everything the machine needs to know in advance. Personally, I think the 'bottom up' approach is the way to go.

CNET talking about SKYNET🤔

Neither could take me.. John Henry challenge is still open 🔥

Boston dynamics made V1 and Tesla has got V2, lets hope they dont run on our blood though

It would be good if they could develop field worker robots.

Boston dynamics are the kind of people to make a real life aperture science laboratories

Love how they are all like "you can over power them or out run them" while having hands that can hold a gun.

How much he bench press?

We need to get these robots into the fighting ring ASAP!

They way it stands up reminds me how how John Connor stood up after being shot in Terminator: Genisys. An overall bad movie but a very creepy scene.

ULTRAKILL REFERENCE!!!!!!!!

Ah yes the Insitute has finaly made the first generation of synths.

Give them hands instead of feet like a chimp and it could climb poles to do maintanence etc.

What Boston was showing with the new video was it moved to that location on its own, it was told where to go but how it got there was its decision, with the tesla bot it's still being told what to do in every aspect and it actually shows how behind it is compared to Boston Dynamics, so the tesla bot is not going to be in service for years.

As long as there are populations to oppress these kind of robots will continue with good funding. It would take HEAPS of evidence to convince me that these robots arent already in the process of either learning hand-to-hand-combat or getting weapons systems programmed into their core drivers.

Why make it humanoid? Why not give it four arms or four legs or extra joints or wheels or any other kind of useful stuff that humans don't have?

How do they hold up to a 50BMG ?

Boston Dynamics has a working robot, Teslas Robot uses CGI, Video manipulation and puppetry..... on is real, one is where Boston Dynamics was several years ago, one is a working robot, the other is not, you choose.....

Atlas can be used as mobile radar & air defense to protect critical infrastructure - energy plants.

They took our jurrrbs!

BD's robots are being used in some professions already, they're more experienced in terms of creating robots. That dance demonstrations says it all, while Optimus dances like 80 y.o grandma, Atlas friggin flips rolls and shuffles.

Bruh Detroit become human predicted the circular lights on their heads

GO BOSTON DYNAMICS. Think of how handy these robots will be for building....say...stations on the Moon and Mars and setting them up for human habitation....

This reminds me of the miners union from Fallout 76. They feared that the robots were taking their jobs, despite the fact that mining is some of the most dangerous work that you can do.

someone upload ChatGPT to Atlas like they did Figure. That be a trip.

Now he needs wings

[2:22] Imagine that let's say you broke into a warehouse. And the first thing you see in the distance is Atlas Waking up with its light turned red. Now If that was me and i happened to encounter Atlas doing that. I'm getting the heck out of here as fast as possible.

Atlas is a superior robot over the Tesla Bot. Atlas may be utilitarian, however the functionality is limitless with the robust build and flexibility of the robots chassis! The Tesla Bot, however has a fine tuned and more delicate function in my opinion.

I want an Atlas friend!

Personally I think the one advantage the Tesla Bot might end up having is accessibility. If Elon plans on fulfilling the promise of the Tesla Bot being a (somewhat at least) affordable product for everyday households it looks like it could probably do housework or other tasks just fine down the road. Atlas while definitely better performance wise isn’t quite on the market so to speak (even though the Tesla Bot isn’t either but still) & if it did I could probably imagine that the Tesla Bot would be a heck of a lot more affordable. If Atlas ended up being similar price wise to the Tesla Bot then it’d absolutely be the best on the market for “home robots.” Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

are they on their own ?

Ngl we’re gonna need humanoid robot mma asap. Obviously I’m putting my money on atlas 2 to beat the crap out of Optimus.

Sierra Club Group Leaders avoiding their FEMA Camp Assignments are in for a big surprise someday on some Late Night Mountain Trail.

0:07 Here’s your problem. “…compares to Optimus…” Are you kidding me?

Didn’t know there is a Tesla Bot while I've known the Boston Dynamics robots for years and follow their evolvement closely.

That new Atlas is going to absolutely demolish the Tesla bot.

Boston dynamics= your future military Tesla robot = your future house maid.

As the great Darryl Weathers angrily exclaims "They took our jobs!"

The HD Atlas robot was not powered by hydraulics. It was powered by electricity. It used hydraulics as a means to convert electricity into motive force. Please, please, get things correct if you're going to make this sort of video.

Boston dynamics is great mechanically, Tesla is great Autonomously. Imagine them merging.

It blows my mind that these things exist!

without interrupt ing each other

who knows atlas may be able to flip coins and shoot futuristic revolvers...

The Atlus bot gives me less uncanny valley vibes to me, so it easily wins in my books.

Tech is unavoidable period. _Sometimes_ (not always!) When it feels like a new tech is going to put you out of business you can embrace it and become a manager of mundane tasks you don't have to perform yourself anymore, and now you coordinate and create larger groups of finished tasks instead

i have feeling the old atlas still using old paradigm of programming which is hard to scale up. while the new paradigm is based on AI training. Which accelerate the iteration by enormous amount.

Non-humanoid robotic systems already sort and stack all those packages; replacing the drones who put the boxes that slide down the chutes into boxes is a waste of people.

Ultron Army ☠️💀💀☠️

They need to name it AMEE. Movie “Red Planet” killer robot

The least informatic video I have seen this month, if not for 1 nugget of info, I would have classified it as pure clickbait.

important information...

goals... mission s...etc...

It look like Projectionist, from Bendy game😊

Humanoid looking robots are just toys. Specific task designed robots are already deployed and working efficiently.

You brought up 3 robots, Boston Dynamics Atlas, Tesla Optimus, and Agility Robotics Digit. I only see a real future for 2 of these 3, Atlas and Digit. Optimus moves like someone with severe arthritis while the other two, Digit is spritely, and Atlas - does parkour. Of the 3, the new Atlas and Optimus will have the same price point while Digit is definitely less expensive but basically very near as capable as Optimus. And Tesla financials are not looking healthy right now.

you completely understand...

I would not argue with the first Atlas robot, I would with all the others though!

Competition is good, but Boston Dynamics is at least 5 years behind Tesla at this point.

People keep presenting the Tesla robot toy performance as comparable to Atlas. The Tesla bot has done nothing that Asimo could not do and better 15 years ago. I am not saying it can't do more amazing taks, but what they have shown is slow fragile movement. Not appropriate for a real-world environment. It's not even close. It could be that Tesla's focus is AI and then they are going to build a capable modern robot, or it could be that they are hiding the actual performance of the machine, but right now is 2005 technology, but with advanced motors. In fact, Asimo could kick a ball 9 years ago.

Did cnet put WTF in its thumbnail?

I believe that with the right data input BD Atlas 2.0 could act like be like CARY GRANT...No Doubt....I would buy that robot))
