Tesla hires 'motion capture artist' to train humanoid robot Optimus, earning up to $48 an hour

The data of embodied intelligence comes from here. Tomorrow, the annual World Robot Conference will kick off again! Recently, many domestic robotics companies have released new products, such as the second-generation humanoid robot from Zhihuijun’s “Zhiyuan Robot” company and the new-generation AI robot assistant Astribot S1 released by Stardust Intelligence. Abroad, Tesla also has new news on the training of its humanoid robot Optimus. The company is recruiting people to don motion-capture suits to imitate intended movements to get the massive amounts of data it needs to train the robots. Tesla defines such people on its job site as "data collection operators," whose primary goals are to collect data, assist with engineering requests and report equipment feedback. The position reportedly pays up to $48 an hour, along with cash, stock awards and other benefits.

    Motion Capture: Tesla’s Optimus humanoid robot demonstrates the potential of motion capture in training robots to perform human-like actions #🎜 🎜#

    Data Requirements: Optimus will need millions of hours of data to be fully ready to work in the Tesla factory. # Cost is high:
The cost of data collection may be as high as hundreds of millions of dollars, and whether it can be successfully trained is still unknown
14. Tesla’s plan:
Tesla plan. The Optimus humanoid robot will be produced in small batches for internal use next year, and will be shipped in large quantities in 2026. But since the launch of the second-generation Optimus in December 2023, Tesla has so far failed. There has been no major version update yet. With the release of Boston Dynamics’ new generation humanoid robot Atlas and Figure’s new generation humanoid robot Figure 02 this year, Tesla is obviously going to work harder. 🎜#Reference link:
