Elon Musk posted a new video of Tesla’s humanoid robot Optimus folding a shirt on Monday. But a close examination of this video reveals it’s closer to a magic trick.
TL;DR: The recent “Clothes Folding Robot” was human-controlled. Its not autonomous at all.
Human-controlled mechanical dexterity of that level and much higher has been around for decades, the da Vinci Surgical System was cleared for use by the FDA in 2000. This is just some huckster tricking investors with a mechanical turk, it’s exactly one notch more sophisticated than hitting somebody with a pipe and taking their Jordans.
