“Max speed of 5mph so they can’t outrun us” Tesla Bot: *drives Tesla car*

“It has a max speed of 5Mph , so you can outrun it” Tesla bot: "Human has a maximum speed at 0Mph when asleep"

I'm not sure about having one in my own home, but I can see sending a few hundred of them to Mars on the first few flights. They can be programmed to build habitats for humans, so when they arrive they have pre-built quarters. They don't need water, or food, or toilet facilities. They can maneuver around on the surface without suits, or breathing apparatus, they don't need to rest, except to charge the batteries, and if for some reason the ship mal-functions, or blows up, you only lost a few robots, no human lives.

You should revisit this topic with new updates from Tesla

Marques: “Will it come in Matte Black?” Dbrand: "We have got you covered!"

Soon Chancellor Bezos will create a Clone Army to fight the Tesla Federation

This needs an update

I think the point about human-shaped robots is the possibility of a generalised multi-functionality... a washing up robot or a floor-vacuuming robot is limited to those specific tasks and certainly don't require AI... But an AI in human shape which could move, act and to a large degree think like a human has virtually unlimited possibilities.

“How does it charge? Will it sit on a USB Port in a corner of the room everyday”?🤣🤣

“Max speed of 5mph so they can’t outrun us” Next day software update available: Increased max speed to 100mph.

Your videos are very informative and articulated in a very digestible way!

"I doubt they will leapfrog boston dynamics in two years" -teslabot in 2023 doing almost the same

Marques: “Will it come in Matte Black?” I see Marques still has his priorities in order despite the situation

“ Teslabot, Open the garage door for me.” “ i’m sorry Mike. I’m afraid I can’t do that. I’m friends with Hal now…”

Well, sure, for very specific task, robots in a very specific form factor for the task at hand are more efficient, humanoid might not be the best choice for that. However, there's an advantage we humans have over very specific and efficient task focused robots, and that is adaptability and versatility, and in that discipline our humanoid form is actually extremely good. So, if you want a robot being able to accomplish a multitude of task, giving it a humanoid form makes a lot of sense. I mean, your roomba sure can't dust off furniture or go grocery shopping. Legs can overcome obstacles wheels cannot, hands are versatile and can use the same tools humans do. Additionally, there's the factor of familiarity, which might be more important than you might think, for robots that "live" among us.

You don't want a robot that builds tables from ikea for you with max efficiency or buys groceries with max efficiency. You want a robot that can do all of it with an acceptable efficiency

Marques: A Human shaped robot doesn't make sense. Also Marques: Will it come in Matte Black?

I am just glad Will Smith is still around. Makes me feel a bit safer. EDIT: Two best feelings in the world: (1) When you find money in trousers/pants you haven't used for a long time (2) When you come back to an old comment and find 2.4k likes :)

You’re the best. No hype, no dramas just chill and simply cool and interesting to watch. Thank you.

My assumption is the human form is the best one to use. my reasoning is in order for the robot to function in multiple task and work fluently in a human world it needs to adapt as one.

“Max speed of 5mph so you can outrun it.” Tesla Bot: Break human's legs so they can't run

Elon Musk: “what scares you? AI” Also Elon Musk “here is my sentient AI humanoid”

That is a beautiful desk behind him. Marques has great taste and real appreciation for meaningful design.

The delivery on the line "they're saying it's going to be easy to overpower or run away from" had me in stitches

“It has a max speed of 5 mph, so you can outrun it” killed me

I just want to know how long can it run for 5mph? Maybe I can outrun it but it’ll eventually catch up with me 🤔

For the complicated stuff one thing i've learned is that they use really intelligent tricks and work arounds to get to the same destination, Like you can teach it what headphones are, then it can grab anything it views as headphones and identify as colors etc.

Wow! Just found your channel, and I've been a fan of many Tesla and SpaceX channels. Your content is really quite good! Subscribed!!

"Will there be a matte black?" - the most MKBHD thing ever

"its gonna be easy to overpower or run away from" Tesla bot: are you faster than a bullet tho?

If you can avoid making it look creepy I think it’s a really good idea to have a humanoid robot. When you think about the tasks you want a robot to do, they’re typically tasks done by humans already. If it’s going to many tasks like carry things for me, or cook food, or sweep up when I break a glass, or help the sick and elderly get dressed in the morning or go to the bathroom. A humanoid would make it the most intuitive to use imo. Would be the most efficient way to utilize a robot, prob not; but, it would add a lot more value to me knowing that I can basically ask it to anything I’d ask an actual person to do. I think Aldo million ways that would be useful to just about anyone. I just wouldn’t want to find that thing creeping around my house at night

My thoughts on the form. Let's just take a housing association as an example. It could mop the staircases, help elderly, distribute mail, maybe do some chores out and inside. the human form in that regard could be beneficial, as it could do a variety of tasks. It could be optimized to have a very high occupancy rate!

“It has 5mph so you can outrun it.” Tesla Bot: Update, I learned how to skate.

"A whole, human sized, human shaped...robot." - Dude, I caught that. :)

i just want to say how well you make videos honestly i just love your content and i always can trust your opinions and takes on things

Love how Marques' first "other question" is "Will it come in matte black?"

The I robot wallpaper in the background the whole video is unsettling lol

Amazing to see how far we’ve come

Great touch with I robot wallpaper behind.

I loved when he said, “it has a maximum speed of 5 MPH so you can out run it” so they thought about the chance of us needing to be able to run faster than the robot just in case.

“Teslabot, put the turkey in the oven” “Nnoooo! Teslabot! Put the baby down!!”

Marques misses the main point. The point of a human based robot is to use robotics for multiple different tasks that are already adapted for humans to do. This way you don't have to design one robot for task x, then another for task y, then a third for task z

I think the point of this is having a generalist robot though. its definitely not the most efficient at any one task, but that way it can kinda do everything and you dont need to buy like 28 robots.

"so you can outrun it" Meanwhile Atlas at Boston Dynamics : PARKOUR!

"Re-enter Captcha" *Checks- "I'm not a robot"* *Sweating coolant 🤖

You described 3 different machines that does 3 separate tasks. I believe you answered your own question of why make a humanoid shape robot. It would be able to complete all 3 of those task(plus more) while ultimately being 1 machine.

7:13 but to make a robot that can do all tasks with 80% efficiency, you want a humanoid robot.

Marques: "It's not going to be very efficient. " Elon musk: There's also a matte black version available.. Marques: This is one of the best humanoid robots I ever saw.

MKBHD review on humans: "Great chip, not so many features tough"

the thing I think is interesting about the tesla bot is the fact that it is going to be designed to do things that the average consumer does not what to do. the tesla bot is probably going to be doing household chores that people don't want to do, using the tech that already exists, and will be a general use bot that doesn't have to be an end all be all answer, they will probably have it be used to achieve things using modern-day consumer gadgets that way they don't have to outcompete any real market, they can just seamlessly integrate with the markets that already exist and have an integratable platform for any new industries that will develop over time.

Marques has a valid point about human efficiency, however what is likely overlooked is that if you want a robot that can perform a multitude of tasks that are all designed for a human world you either need to build tons of different robots each designed for a specific task with specific software and hardware or build a humanoid robot capable of performing them all.

Tesla: “It should be easy to overpower and run away from, so that should never be a concern” Marques: *looks around anxiously*

Robot receiving speech commands from a safe distance (2 to 8 meters): No. Just vaporware until then.

I’m surprised you missed the obvious potential for the robot, which I believe would be to send ahead of the human inhabitants to build living structures in an zero oxygen environment. Having a force of robots to provide this labor would be ideal for providing a safe environment for the humans to occupy apon arrival!

“It has a max speed of 5mph so you can outrun it” Me remembering I sleep at 0 mph: 👁👄👁

“Easy to overpower or run away from.” _iRobot wallpaper intensifies_

Thanks for voicing this opinion. I think the only reason the humanoid form works for human beings is because we are fully conscious and sentient-we “understand” things, so we can take advantage of our flexible human form factor. I cannot imagine for what we can efficiently use robots in human form. It’s going to be the Segway.

" Yes you can out run this one" *Shows other robot atlast doing gymnastics*

"It's capped at 5pm so humans can outrun it" All fun and games til some madlad overclocks it

Idk man, the thought of a Karen yelling at her robot in a grocery store because it dropped some bananas is so dystopian I can't even handle it.

Honestly I can see both perspectives. I think the robots that work don’t really need to look human. The ones that do would be cool to chat with

I can see how it would be useful to a couple of friends of mine. They own an estate of about 12 hectares, which is almost a fulltime job to keep up with the grass, work in the woods like cutting down sick or dead trees or dealing with fallen trees, keeping the weeds at bay, and ofcourse keeping up with the house. It could maybe take a lot of this over and offer extra hands with keeping up with the more complicated work. I could see it be more than worth it for them to purchase 2 to 5. Depending on prince and such.

Marques: “I can’t really think of any good uses for a humanoid robot.” Department of Defense: 😏 “Yeah… me either” 😎

Elon be like: I think I'll get up on stage and warn people about AI and then I'll make a whole bunch of robots.

I love this and thanks for sharing. I work for a company which has robots and almost everyone there seems to have a fear of robots taking over. Now I have a better way to explain to my coworkers thanks to you. I’ve been saying, if the world turns into a robotics world then we’ll all just flock to companies that make parts for those robots. The first smartphone was a robot lol

I want one robot to vacuum, do the dishes, cook dinner, mow the yard, take the dog for a walk, run errands, do laundry, paint the house, wash the car, etc. I don't need a super efficient bot, just a versatile one. Maybe you could rent a specialized version to do certain tasks like replace the roof or remodel the kitchen. It certainly won't be in my lifetime I'm sure....

The real question should be: Will it come in Matte Black?

“Its pretty slow so you can outrun it” Im dying🤣

The 👀 when he said “it shouldn’t be a concern” haha

It would be good if the arms had different attachments that can be swapped, a tool box etc

Imagine the jumpscare when a humanoid robot walks into a store full of people absolutely unaware that the technology even exists.

"Tesla bot is easy to overpower" Tesla bot: goes to the gym Damn.

Elon Musk has expressed great concern with AI. I respect that and see this technology as inevitable.

Maybe it is so it can be utilized in multiple ways? You can make a focused robot for a specific function and it would probably be more efficient efficient than a human like robot. But that robot would only serve one purpose. It can make a table really well, but it can't lift boxes, and grocery shop, and cook like a human bot could.

The fact that we have to mention “you can outrun it” is more concerning than it is comforting

Elon Musk: "How could we improve Tesla Bot?" Todd Howard: "Maybe a little more R-rated... I'm trying to be honest here"

Uhhh yeah Marques. It would make sense that the robot would have to learn just like us even after its released. So it would be more like "Hey Robot, you know those bananas I showed you. Go buy some at the store" lol

on the roobot pickup the hose that Musk talk about, maybe it could have some use, even if they can't build a full robot but as long as they can perfect part of it, like.... the arm, or leg, it could use as prosthetic limb, i think

4:55 “so you can outrun it” me: slightly paranoid

“It has a max speed of 5Mph , so you can outrun it” all fun and games till someone overclocks it . . . . . . or it overclocks itself

Think it like this: - traditional car => semi-auto car (collect data and improvement) => fully autonomous car - tesla robot => humanoid remote-controlled robots (collect data and improvement - watch Surrogates for concept, you can use VR tools to do immersive experience) => fully autonomous robot

One of the good uses could be to help the elders on many task. Another thing to consider that a human expend like 15 years learning to be able to work properly, a robot school with high qualified teachers teaching robot to do things like cooking, house maintenance, like painting, cleaning etc and all of them sharing the knowledge in a cloud server, sounds to me very promising. I as a employer and owner of a company definitely want not one but many of them doing repetitive task with no preoccupation of having them distract by a phone.

"It has a max speed of 5mph, so that you can outrun it." Why tf am i gonna outrun it in the first place? What the hell are you planning Tesla?

I thought BostonDynamics video was a CGI when I first saw it

A useful deployment would be on the Mars missions once colonization begins. Working while we sleep, stop to eat, washroom breaks, etc. They could even continue whilst humans head back to the ISS or back to Earth for restocking and so on. Also. Think of the applications of these droids if used in conjunction with Neuralink (controlling the droids remotely), and also with regards to the Starlink system in place here to control them anywhere around the Earth. Also, a deployment of a Starlink system around Mars for similar purposes. Remote access to always connected droids in a new environment that is quite harsh and unforgiving to humans. This would be a much safer way to begin or to simply assist us in the colonization efforts. He could even task TBC for building tunnels on Mars to help protect equipment, people, and so on due to the harsh storms, insane temperature changes, to find water, or just safe passage from one site to the next regardless of what is going on up above. Tesla is likely already tasked with developing Mars capable vehicles, rovers etc. etc. I could go on and on.... Sorry for rambling, just my two pennies.

A really useful addition to the Tesla fleet would be self driving taxis. You ring up and they come to your front door and take you to your destination.

"It's got a top speed of 5 miles per hour, so you can outrun it" Is that like... a safety precaution, or...?

Only commenting on the “why a humanoid shape?” question: you touched on it for a moment - the world is built for the humanoid shape. When you make a universal connection like USB, many different products can interface with a computer through a shared shape. Robots can best, and most quickly, interface with the “human-built world” in a humanoid shape. The robot will need to always be doing a different combination and order of tasks, like a human. Of course you can build a robot that’s the best at being a vacuum… but then you need a robot for every task. It’s a unitasker. Whereas teslabot, like humans, is a multitasker. And to most easily be a multitasker, just make it human shaped and now it can instantly interface with the entire built world. It seems even Boston dynamics is shooting for that with the atlas. Which is more or less human shaped. EDIT: another way to look at the robot is like an adapter: it’s the bridge between an infinite variety of tasks and the machine that will do those tasks. It doesn’t need to be “better” than a human. Just good enough. Like hiring an intern: they may be ignorant of nearly every task they have to do, but they’re cheap labor and can be used to fill in gaps when needed.

Cool Idea... Honestly I would take it a step further... The house becomes the robot... and the Car, the Teslabot, the roomba, refrigerator and coffee maker, etc., even your phone becomes and extension of the House. The house will know exactly what your airpod max are and where they are because your airpod max are now an extension of your house. Anything connected to you network is connected to your house. Everything thing from doors to cabinets to floors are automated in so way... That is the future.

"It is slow so that you can _outrun it_ " is the most horrifying sentence possible

That "I, Robot" reference is on point! To quote the commissioner guy from that movie "I don't want my toaster getting emotional"

"Don't sit in that chair, that's my... robot charging chair." * Chair starts vibrating *

i love the I, Robot wallpaper on his desktop

I think the point of a humanoid robot is that, a): it is a shape that is acceptable, and can easily adapt to the world we have adapted to us and b): you can buy a vacuum cleaning robot (we have them, but for now, they don’t handle stairs, or doors, or other variations of plain flat floors), a dish washing robot, you can buy a bunch of individual single purpose robots, but the idea is one robot that does it all and is versatile within the world we have adapted to us.

"What other colors would it come in? Would it come in matte black?" Marques is always asking the important questions. 😁

"repetitive boring tasks" Marques at the end: go grab my AirPods

Imagine coming back from work and your Tesla bot is having a meeting with 2 other unknown Tesla bots in your house and then for 20 seconds they ignore you. The other 2 leave quickly and your own bot suddenly becomes obedient.

The fact that you were able to sit down with Elon and have a face to face conversation blows my mind. I’d politely ask him for advice and for a million dollars to help me get started lol

Specialized robots are good at 1 thing, but then you need a lot of them. Think of the kitchen, you can get an avocado slicer, and pit remover, and then get a mandoline, and a slapshot to dice vegetables, etc etc... Or you can get a good chef's knife. Sure each of the gadgets is VERY good at one task, but then you have drawers filled with 1 use items. Versatility is huge, and like you said, we live in a world designed for humans, so having a humanoid assistant makes sense not from the "best way to accomplish this task" but from "the 1 device that can accomplish the most tasks"

"Semi-sentient" "It should be easy to run away from" Why should I have to run away...? (slowly grabs shotgun and slugs)
