An invention that will change the entire course of human history. Poverty... Money... Jobs... Freedom... Happiness... Everything is fixed now that Tesla unveiled its newest creation… Optimus. [fdwsb] Ooohh. Aaahh. That’s the name Elon Musk has given to Tesla's so-called humanoid robot. But when he unveiled it at Tesla’s AI Day at the end of September, the results were... mixed. He revealed two prototypes, one that slowly walked on stage with club music bumping in the background like John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever. It waved at the audience and raised the roof. The other prototype had to be wheeled out by three helpers, with Musk assuring the crowd that it was still a "work in progress." He looked at the machine that was mounted to a stand and said, “This means a future of abundance, a future where there is no poverty, where you can have whatever you want.” Sure, if you repeat something for long enough, it becomes true. To prove that the robot actually works in a vacuum, he played a video of it performing simple tasks like watering plants and lifting metal bars in a factory. To convince the audience of its usefulness, he said, “It really is a fundamental transformation of civilization as we know it.” It’s a nice sales pitch, but Musk isn’t wrong here. If he’s able to pull this off, it’ll be a boon not just for Tesla but also for the $500 billion robotics industry. He just has to get over one hurdle before that happens. Amazon Just Got B****-Slapped Amazon has been fined $1.28 billion for dominating Italy’s e-commerce market. According to Italian antitrust regulators, Amazon used its logistics service to block competitors from gaining visibility and making sales. But Amazon is a $1.3 trillion company. To Amazon, paying this fine is like spending quarters at a gumball machine. And the company is still poised to make over $540 billion by the end of the year. But I’m not touching Amazon stock. And you shouldn’t either. Owning its stock would mean sharing in all the fines and losses its shareholders are racking up. Instead, you could use my blueprint to "backdoor" Amazon without owning a single share — earning regular payouts that I call “Prime Profits.” [It only takes two minutes to get set up for collecting these payouts, and the next one is coming on December 15.]( Bridging the Uncanny Valley The major challenge in robotics and AI — besides the electrical and mechanical engineering and neuronetworking — is to create an object that looks realistic without evoking the “uncanny valley” response. The uncanny valley hypothesis states that the more human-like or realistic an object looks, the more it creates a sense of unease or revulsion. Some argue the uncanny valley doesn’t exist, while others believe if an object completely mimics a human being without any noticeable differences, then it wouldn’t evoke such a response. As of now, robotics and AI aren’t advanced enough to produce objects that look 100% realistic. There's always something a little off. The tiny wrinkles in the skin and face or the nuances of body language... We’re getting close, but robotics experts tend to agree that we’ll never completely get there. It doesn't matter for Musk’s prototype, as it definitely doesn’t look human… But that’s not the point. Musk wants Optimus to function as a utilitarian bot used to replace workers, and with a purported price tag of $20,000, it might entice some businesses. Is this even possible or is it just another pie-in-the-sky Silicon Valley empty promise? Biden’s Spending “Blitz” Set to Launch $5 EV Firm Over $9 billion in federal cash is set to rain down on one overlooked sector of the EV market...

[Learn about the shocking EV company nobody’s talking about.]( Robot Rock [Robotics experts weighed in after the Tesla event.]( According to Wired, Fetch Robotics CEO Melonee Wise said, “The idea that this will be doing anything useful in five years is laughable.” Georgia Chalvatzaki, assistant professor at Technische Universität Darmstadt, posted, "Looking at the Tesla bot as a roboticist, I am impressed by what the engineers achieved for this prototype in a year. However, the behaviors demonstrated are less impressive than that of Honda's Asimo from 20 years ago. What excites me is the idea of cheap and accessible hardware." Here's where Musk might make a killing. If he's able to quickly produce the hardware needed to produce bots en masse, he could bring in the robot revolution. University of Toronto assistant professor Animesh Garg said: Robots, in the short term, have use cases in places where they do not necessarily need to interact with humans and the implications of failure are less severe. The community needs to find a revenue-positive pathway to support this development. And this could come from behind-the-scenes use cases for robot manipulation, in warehouses, retail stores, food preparation, and manufacturing. It remains to be seen what Musk's full vision for the Tesla bot is, but one thing's for sure: The robot will need balanced movement if it ever wants to be a success. Mark Your Calendar: November 15, 2022, Could Make You Very Rich When this little-known tech company makes its announcement on November 15, 2022... it will send shock waves throughout the world. Google’s CEO, Sundar Pichai, says it’s humanity’s most important invention. And the few people who know about it ahead of time could make millions. Because this company's new breakthrough — Invictus — is about to blow the doors off a $47 TRILLION revolution, transforming practically every aspect of society. [Let me show you how to get in before November 15, 2022.]( A Balancing Act Another robotics expert, Christian Hubicki, noted that Optimus was using a complex form of balance called zero-moment point. Here's what he said: Let’s talk walking. I told my lab today that I expected it to walk on stage, and it did, but I was a bit surprised at how they did it. It seems to use a method called zero-moment point to maintain balance. It’s been used in various forms since the 1990s. You see ZMP in the bent knees and how it shifts its weight over to its next foot before taking a step. It’s pretty safe, but not mind-blowing in 2022. Also, people don’t walk quite like this. We are more efficient — we stick our foot out, fall, catch, repeat. Analytics India Magazine seconded that opinion: Therefore, assumably, by training, locomotion planning, and scanning the walking path and surface in front of it, the steps that Optimus takes by calculating the hip trajectory and bending its knees to ensure all the force is on its center of gravity, seems to be working on a method based on zero-moment point calculation. So maybe the robot's movement isn't uncanny, but it does balance quite well. That's because to balance effectively, the robot has tiny sensors that continuously scan the environment and send signals to the hips and feet, creating a type of balance algorithm. It's similar tech to what's in Tesla's self-driving cars. And it's this critical sensor that goes overlooked by investors. Sure, suckers can buy Tesla in the hopes of making a profit, but with the markets in turmoil, a Tesla bot isn't likely produce returns for the company anytime soon. But as long as robots keep being built — and they will — the companies that make the sensors will keep printing money.
