Nvidia GROOT vs. Tesla Optimus: Competing Paths to Humanoid Robots 🤖

The Trade Federation is taking notes

Before ai: Do you want some GPUS? After ai:: Do you want some ai chips?

My teacher was wrong, the machines are not coming there already here 😂

having competition is what will lead to better robots not all of them using the same 1 company.

Boston Dynamics Atlas robot would leave a lot of the others standing, it's attempt at parkour manoeuvres and somersaults are examples of it's agility, truly exceptional 🤖

I think simulated training will prove to be the winner here. Have them train tasks a million times in a week then upload whatever you want them to do. Uploading kung fu to a robot will be possible in the near future like they did with neo in the matrix.

Competition is always good for us consumers🤝🏻

Waiting for Japan to show us their robots

Boston Dynamic's robot are just insane

Nvidia robotics is about building omniverse virtual twin to train robots much faster than what could be done in real world. Nvidia's approach is not to build it's own robot (except for experience building) but to prepare a platform (server and on the edge) that will support the companies that wants to develop the robots. In this way, Nvidia will be able to cover a much larger market than Tesla who wants to do all on it's own. It reminds me the Microsoft open ended approach versus Apple closed environment in the 1985-2000 period. Nvidia developing a robotics ecosystem versus Tesla closed vertical integration.

Liquid neuron tech seems best suited for robotics and much more efficient but I don't see any mention.

i dont know, but i think tesla is running a "dojo" simulation also.

We call robots "robot" because we don't want them to behave like humans, we want them to work like machines. The fact that big investors are backing humanoid robots now isn't because 'humanoid' is intrinsically good, but because that's the money-making proposition: making a machine that fits in paying holes currently occupied by very large numbers of not-very-well-paid humans. As soon as replacement is far enough advanced, expect optimisation to remove 'humanoid' features. Humans should campaign for 'human reservations' to prevent being optimised away. We won't do it: mobile machines are shiny.

They didn't even TRY to come up with an acronym that made sense 😂🤣

We know how this will end for humanity

Mildly terrified describes my feelings exactly.

Only when it demands my clothes my boots and my motorcycle will I pay attention😎

Can't really compare the two. Groot is an omniverse that allows training for humanoid robots using digital twins whereas Tesla uses its own model and trains its robots using real-world data. We never really had something like Groot before. Nvidia wants to help other companies build robots and AI. Nvidia already has a large market share over the GPU market which is essential for generating tokens for AI. Tesla is probably using Nvidia's GPUs and APIs to create the robot and its AI. Nvidia wants to be the gold mine for AI and hand the pickaxes to companies to mine the "AI Gold Rush". Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, said this himself at the GTC. In reality, Nvidia is in charge of the excavation site and Tesla is just a miner.

Nvidia is going to win in robotic training

Sorry to say but the only robots actually present were the disney ones, all the other ones were a screen displayed on stage...
