A Tesla robot’s walking style has gone viral on the internet after it staggers like a human while descending a slope.
Tesla’s Optimus robot took its first steps on a slope, but the robot’s unsteady movements, which mimicked the gait of a drunk person, have sparked mixed reactions on social media.
Walking is a simple process for us, but it’s an engineering challenge for robots. Tesla’s Optimus exemplifies this struggle in a recent Instagram post.
The caption of the post, which reads, “To walk like a human, you must first learn to stagger like a human,” humorously highlights the learning process. The video also reminds us that even modern robots need time and perseverance to master human-like movements.
The video has captured the attention of social media users around the world, receiving reactions ranging from light-hearted humor to deep reflections on the future of humanoid robotics.
