YT Video explains the Updates and Outlook of Tesla Optimus Gen II

$Tesla(TSLA.US)$ $BYD COMPANY(01211.HK)$ $NIO Inc(NIO.US)$ $XPeng(XPEV.US)$ The video explains the updates and outlook of the Tesla Optimus humanoid robot Gen II which uses a new and more effective way to train the robot compared to the conventional one. The video also clarify some misconceptions (including FUD comments by someone) as reported by some media. I have extracted the posts of Milan Kovac and Julian Ibarz who are from Engineering AI and Optimus @Tesla to explain the highlights:

4:28 Why is Optimus moving slowly?

While not being perfect yet and still a little slow, we’re seeing increasingly high success rates with less frequent misses. We’re also training Optimus to recover from failure cases, and are seeing spontaneous corrections happen.

5:44 What makes Tesla Optimus different?

This neural net is running entirely end-to-end, meaning that it only consumes video coming from the bot’s 2D cameras, as well as on-board proprioceptive sensors, and produces joints control sequences directly. It runs entirely on the bot’s embedded FSD computer, powered by the on-board battery. It is designed such that a single neural net can perform multiple tasks as we add more diverse data to the training process.

8:10 Training Tesla Optimus to be Multi-task

We're starting to apply RL (re-learn) to Optimus (Tesla Bot), teaching it to do things otherwise really hard to tele-operate. We're looking for a couple RL engineers ready to join a world-class ML team, as well as a few passionate software engineers to help improve our RL simulation infrastructure

My Take: The video at 1:11 Tesla Optimus Autonomous Operation explains Optimus Gen II is not tele-operate. A top right hand of Optimus Gen II video showed clearly the word 'autonomus". When you see the robot doing the same thing like the staff besides it, it is actually learning a task - a process of Optimus Gen I undergoing training. This is how the neutral network system works similar to Tesla FSD self-learning ability. At 10:41 Tesla Optimus Outlook, the commentator predicted that Tesla Optimus will take a shorter time to roll out to the mass because it doesn't need to operate in 100% perfection like Tesla FSD. Beware someone will always mislead you thinking Optimus Gen II is old robotics technology. The skeptics will never believe no matter what evidence is thrown to them - only time will tell.
