Tesla is using motion-capture suits to train its humanoid Optimus robot, employing Data Collection Operators to mimic human actions for effective robot training.
Tesla's recruitment for Data Collection Operators requires candidates to wear motion-capture suits, walk over seven hours a day, and wear VR headsets for extended periods.
Although motion capture is a cost-effective method for training humanoid robots, the scale at which Tesla is doing it is unprecedented, possibly requiring millions of hours of data.
Elon Musk's ambition for the Optimus robot includes deploying 'genuinely useful' bots next year, despite the considerable challenges and uncertainties associated with their development.
