  • Tesla AI's latest recruiting ad is all about ACTUATORS--the small but powerful motors that allow Teslabot (Tesla's amazing humanoid robot) to move around. While electric motors have been around for a long time, these custom designed actuators are made from bespoke parts and amazingly refined. In fact the parts can look as much like high end watch parts as parts of a robot. Dr. Scott Walter, factory simulation and robotics experts, helps explain why these actuators are crucial to Optimus's future!

    What I should have mentioned about the possible compliant joint in the foot. This could help prevent the foot from slipping in the lateral direction during stride. The leg is really a 5 DOF mechanism, but this gives the kinematics an additional sixth degree-of-freedom to maintain the foot orientation with its contact surface. Otherwise the torso/pelvis may need to sway unnaturally to counter this affect.

      He then gave an example.
      “So someone called Tracy from the marketing department comes to your office and tells you that, based on a survey, passengers might enjoy a salad from Houston to Las Vegas. But we serve only peanuts and it would be nice to serve chicken Caesar salad. How would you respond?”
      The person didn’t know what to say. So Kelleher replied to his question himself.
      “You ask Tracy ‘Will adding a chicken salad to the menu will make us THE low-fare airline from Houston to Las Vegas? Because if it doesn’t then we are not serving any damn chicken salad.”

    On the shaft of the actuator not spinning, as long as it it installed there is no reason for there to be any internal mechanism to prevent it, as the installation will prevent it, plus as you said this will also allow some freedom of motion to prevent binding. Or in other words an uninstalled actuator might have its shaft spin around if motor is operated, but it would never be operated like that so it doesn't matter.

  • @jeffnewcomb601
    @jeffnewcomb601 Год назад

    I'm thinking the foot sensor is (at least partially) used to detect lateral pressure buildup, much the same way our little toes function to sense when we are leaning or getting out of balance. While that may seem unnecessary, humans have a very difficult time walking or even standing still without the feedback and slight pressure adjustments provided by all of the toes working in unison.

  • @Scholzey
    @Scholzey Год назад

    With the motion of the big arm that does the flip in the factory. I would assume the simple movement creates alot more loads on the joints of the robot arm then the flip does. If you think of the flip as a ball and chain, let's the heavy object dictate its own path and then do that in a controlled manner, and you will reduce the stresses on all of the joints. That seemed like an obvious thing in my brain, but perhaps industry doesn't worry about wear on the robots when programming the paths?

    Scott is wrong. That flipping maneuver carrying the red box does two things. 1, It changes the box from one side of the robot to the other side and 2, changes red box far side (away from the robot) to be the near side when it’s set down. Watch the white “label” Not saying there is not another way to spin the box 180, but that the sim died not achieve the same result as the video (extrapolated since we don’t actually see the whole move to end) appears to show.

  • @HenryLoenwind
    @HenryLoenwind Год назад

    Regarding side-view (and rear-view) mirrors: Those still make sense. The human eye takes ages to re-focus between 2 feet and infinite, up to a second in bad light conditions. Time you do not need to spend when looking into a mirror as the focus distance through the mirror matches that of the real distance. But when looking at a screen, you absolutely need to re-focus to the 2-3 foot distance the screen is away from you. So glancing at a mirror for a fraction of a second, or keeping the mirror in your peripheral vision does not work with monitors. You have to take your eyes off the road and stare at the monitor to be able to see anything less obvious than "headlights in the dark".
    And yes, to some extent we have the same issue with the dashboard, too. That's why variants of "big red needle on black background" still are used so often---you can judge its angle accurately enough without focusing your eyes on it. When numeric displays are used, they have to be very big so you can read them without having to completely focus your eyes on them, and even then it takes longer to read them.

  • @DanFrederiksen
    @DanFrederiksen Год назад +2

    I think I would do it differently on several points. Take the piano lift, it's a bit above a second for a ca 10cm pull but consider a human running at full speed which is about 3 cycles per second or 6 movements, which is about 10x faster than the piano lift. That's no small difference in speed. It's possible the actuator is a fair bit faster at lower load but it needs strength because that motion is geared in the leg maybe 4x so just to hold its own weight might be 3000N. So there is speed issue that will prevent it from looking capable like a human. it gives it the geriatric vibe common to robots. Not the agility we see in I Robot.
    I think the actuators need some compliance/spring loading as well to avoid the jittery movements and you might need double actuators to tense a limb like we can. I'm not sure I would use linear actuators like they do, might just do straight geared but not sure. And I would use the strongest materials like aermet 100 to keep structural limb weight minimal and max room for actuation.
    And as a general observation I would get it right in the first revision. There is no value in building a slow stiff robot if that is not what the final product will be. That's just time to realize you did it wrong. Let's skip that.

      Different actuators for gluteus maximus than for knee or calf.
      Upper leg swings 100° odd when running, not so lower leg.
      Optimus won’t run. Designed so we can easily outrun it, or overpower it.
      Which really limits what it can do.
      Other parts are more interesting, hand manipulation, visualising environment way beyond not crashing into stuff.

    How fast do the linear motors move in the bot? Need to translate rotation to linear motion which could be slow compared to contraction of a human muscle.
    Why does Optimus bot not use hydraulics to move. Boston Dynamics use hydraulics with very good results to move quickly. A hydraulic linear actuator is small with a lot of force and fast. Perhaps Tesla has little experience with hydraulics and therefore only use tech they understand.

    Serious question - assuming the Teslabot works as intended, will it eliminate at least some of the market for industrial robots? Are there not some tasks now done by industrial robots that could be done as well by the Teslabot? If so, given the price of most industrial robots (the stationary arm type) is in the same ballpark as the projected price target for the Teslabot and the Teslabot will be way more flexible in terms of uses - it could drive out some of the current industrial robots.

In the first 3 they used actuators for the head lamps - as is mandatory in the EU - and in modern 3 and Y with matrix LED they use those to adjust for height changes. In many 3‘s if found mechanical sensors on one wishbone, in the Y they use Software to measure the cars orientation and change according to changed weights and orientations. Very sophisticated.
      But height „adjustment“ is only done in S and X air suspension with their air bags. Pneumatic.

    Rather than a watch, it makes me think of an old fashioned Singer sewing machine.
    In retrospect, the mechanical stitching of a sewing machine is an impressive achievement. Here is a traditionally fine detailed movement carried out at ridiculous speeds (in close proximatity to humans) while the cloth is also in motion. The rotary motion of the electric motor (or pedal) is translated into motion of the needle.

    Regarding names on requirements: My experience with that is slightly different, so I don't like putting names there as the sole reason. I've worked with projects in different stages of their lifecycle. In the beginning, all is fine. The people are invested and available. But after two or three years, many of the stakeholders will have changed. Either due to fluctuation or because the team has been shrunk. Especially the team that will have made the early and big decisions will have shrunk substantially---there's less to decide for ongoing development when the big rush of the initial creation phase is over.
    Having people as the primary drivers for requirements means that at that point most of your requirements will be orphaned and nobody will know why they are there. Now you could remove all those and ruin your product, but the more likely effect is that those orphaned requirements will become natural laws---or worse church doctrine. Instead, requirements need to be properly documented so that the owning department can re-evaluate them (and be questioned about them) for the whole lifetime of the product.
    One of the biggest snags in product maintenance I've experienced were those where a key person left the company (or was on vacation). I look at some part of the implementation and see that it either implements a weird requirement or was very badly designed. I look the requirement up and see that changing it to be more elegant would violate the requirement. So I go to investigate the requirement but the original owner and all that worked with them at the time the requirement was written are unavailable. And guess what, nobody else has the authority (or balls) to redo (and pay for) the complete requirement analysis.
    So I spend a couple of weeks preserving that weird functionality with our new additions. And all too often I later met that person in another context (small world, you always meet twice...) and when I ask them about it, it was just some badly worded BS or some draft implementation never was forgotten or the remnants of some long retired process. Or, and that is one of my pet peeves, the effect of a stakeholder who cannot remember what was said in a meeting a week earlier and restarts a discussion so often that people just give up on it, just say "yes" and do their own thing how they think it should be.

    I've never built a robot, so I'm going out on a limb here.
    All this "stuff" is needed because for some reason a robot is supposed to be a replacement for a human being - why?
    If I were building a robot, I'd start with the simplest structure that can move and get it working and then go after more complex shapes. The robot I'd build would be simple, like the 2 robots from the movie Interstellar - TARS and CASE. Nobody will consider them as a threat to their job - they have other jobs they are good for.
    By taking this simple approach, you shrink the development time to just 1/4 the time it takes to make the robot bipedal.

      OK, you do that, then. Sounds like a cool project. Good luck! But if you want to have a robot that can interact generally with the environment designed for adult humans you will have a less suitable solution. And the difficult problem will still be software.

    working w robots is better than working w humans. inevitable. however, we are not smart enough to put our priorities in the correct order. the most, but most important task we have in hand is our education system. I'm NOT just talking about schools, we don't know the answer to the question: "how to raise children in a way they would enjoy life and be productive at the same time". okay, we have the internet, we have books. like Elon did when he was a kid, we could teach them to read a lot. but that's not enough. there must be an optimized, well thought, tested and open to improvements kind of "basic skills" education, training, something that solves more problems than it might create. we are truly not very smart. it's more like a philosophical problem we don't know the answer yet and I doubt we can solve it anytime soon. Global Income would be the answer, is it? the more I think about these kind of problems, the more I realize I'm just a dumb person who cannot solve problems exceeding my personal space. so I chose to survive, just stay alive and try to have fun...

      I am not sure that piano lifting is intended for the bot. They wanted the bot to be non-threatening, so it is designed to be slower and weaker than a human. I think that the piano may have been a talking point. In principle it is no different to a car jack but answers the question: 'What if we wanted stronger within the same body?'
