Part 8/11:
- Energy efficiency (to avoid bulky batteries and ensure practicality)
He warns that achieving these goals is akin to pioneering breakthroughs in battery technology, akin to Tesla’s battery electrode innovations. The high number of actuators — sometimes upwards of 40 per robot — and their associated costs, create a formidable challenge.
On the software side, AI models can be updated over-the-air (OTA), allowing for iterative improvements after deployment. However, hardware reliability and performance are upfront requirements that determine when large-scale production can commence.
