背景知识

美国当地时间9月30日,特斯拉史上的第二个AI日活动在美国加州帕洛阿托举办。此次AI日最大的看点无疑是首次亮相的特斯拉机器人“擎天柱”(Optimus)原型机。活动现场,这款73公斤重的人形机器人从舞台后方走出,缓步来到台前向观众挥手打招呼,持续时间大概一分钟。

Tesla robot slowly walks on stage at AI Day

直击特斯拉AI日:特斯拉人形机器人首次亮相舞台

Tesla revealed on Friday a prototype of a humanoid robot that it says could be a future product for the automaker. The robot dubbed Optimus by Tesla walked stiffly on stage at Tesla's AI Day slowly waved at the crowd and gestured with its hands for roughly one minute. Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that the robot was operating without a tether for the first time. Robotics developers often use tethers to support robots because they aren't capable enough to walk without falling and damaging themselves.

周五,特斯拉展示了一款人形机器人原型,称这可能是该汽车制造商的未来产品。这个被特斯拉称为擎天柱的机器人,在特斯拉人工智能日的舞台上僵硬地走着,缓慢地向人群挥手,并用手做了大约一分钟的手势。特斯拉首席执行官埃隆·马斯克表示,这是该机器人首次在没有系绳的情况下运行。机器人技术开发人员经常使用系绳来支撑机器人,因为它们不足以在走路时不摔倒或受伤。

The Optimus' abilities appear to significantly trail what robots from competitors like Hyundai-owned Boston Dynamics are capable of. Boston Dynamics robots have been seen doing back flips and performing sophisticated dance routines without a tether. "The robot can actually do a lot more than we just showed you " Musk said at the event. "We just didn't want it to fall on its face." Tesla also showed videos of its robot performing simple tasks like carrying boxes and watering plants with a watering can.

擎天柱的能力似乎明显落后于竞争对手的机器人,比如现代集团旗下的波士顿动力。波士顿动力公司的机器人可以在没有系绳的情况下做后空翻和表演复杂的舞蹈动作。马斯克在发布会上说:“这个机器人实际上可以做的比我们刚才展示的多得多。”“我们只是不想让它摔个正着。”特斯拉还展示了机器人执行简单任务的视频,比如搬运箱子和用喷壶给植物浇水。

Musk claimed that if the robot was produced in mass volumes it would "probably" cost less than $20 000. Tesla maintains that Optimus' advantage over competitors will be its ability to navigate independently using technology developed from Tesla's driver-assistance system "Full Self Driving " as well as cost savings from what it has learned about manufacturing from its automotive division. (Tesla's "Full Self Driving" requires a human that is alert and attentive ready to take over at any time as it is not yet capable of fully driving itself.)

马斯克称,如果该机器人能够批量生产,其成本“很可能”会低于2万美元。特斯拉坚信,擎天柱相对于竞争对手的优势将是它能够实现独立导航(利用从特斯拉的驾驶员辅助系统开发的“全自动驾驶”技术)及成本节约(从其汽车部门学到的制造技术)(特斯拉的“全自动驾驶”需要一个警觉和专注的人,以便随时接手,因为特斯拉汽车还不能完全自动驾驶。)
