Milan Kovac’s recent tweet emphasizes that this methodology is not limited to dancing but also critical for developing more robust walking abilities. It signifies a new paradigm in AI software development for robotics—moving from pre-scripted behaviors to adaptive neural network-driven systems capable of generating movements spontaneously.
The Neural Network’s Complexity in Humanoid Robots
Contrast Tesla’s approach with companies like Boston Dynamics, which develop impressive hardware but rely on pre-programmed maneuvers rather than AI-generated behaviors. The key to future success in humanoid robotics is the "brain" that controls the hardware. Tesla, having been at the forefront of AI development for FSD, now aims to leverage that expertise for Optimus.
