I've just found this Optimus Gen 2 demo, and I thought it's quite interesting.
The Hands are surreal, the gait is still weird, but from what I understand it's a lot easier to walk without an outstretched joint in robotics (avoiding singularity in the kinematics).
Very curious to see if they just did the "easy" 0-80% and will kinda get stuck here, or will keep improving rapidly.
Really looks like it may be used on assembly lines in another year or so. But this is promotion, so looking like that is kinda the point.
what do we think the runtime of these is untethered?
If they have a full AI stack in them, won't they need quite a bit of compute power?
