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

Boston Dynamics has announced their new and improved Atlas robot, the next step in commercializing their humanoid robot development. We analyze how it compares to Tesla's Optimus robot.

Teslabot hobbles along like it's got load in its pants. It can barely walk.

Compare that to Atlas sprinting off camera.

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

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

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.

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

[wannahit]

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

[louisbruckner]

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

[thepunisher]

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

[MrEffdot]

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.

[WestOfEarth]

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

[CasualG-mer]

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

Tesla: What's so great about your robot? Ours is stylish and high-tech.

Boston Dynamics: Ours actually works.

[MrDmadness]

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

[yoshyoka]

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

[nerrade]

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

[PaperMario]

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

[lorenipsum]

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

[Bundles]

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

[Void_]

Now get them to fight as the tesla one starts saying "Machine, turn back now."

[mysmith]

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.
