ELON MUSK LEAKED BIG COPY TESLA BOT GEN 2 OPTIMUS - FIGURE AI 02, WHO WINS?

EV Channels Review

This video provides a detailed comparison between Tesla's Optimus Gen 2 and Figure AI's Figure 02 humanoid robots. The reviewer highlights that Figure AI appears to have drawn inspiration from Optimus, particularly in their introduction video and design aesthetics. While Figure 02 boasts impressive design improvements, including integrated cabling and a more modern look, and a faster movement speed (1.2 m/s vs. Optimus's 0.6 m/s), Optimus is still considered the benchmark in humanoid robot design. The video notes that Optimus Gen 2 has reduced its weight by 22 lbs, whereas Figure 02 has increased in weight. In terms of hands, both robots feature five-fingered, human-like hands, with Figure 02 having a slight edge in dexterity due to an additional thumb joint, though Optimus is expected to improve significantly with its Gen 3. Voice and AI software capabilities are discussed, with Figure 02 currently having an advantage due to its OpenAI collaboration, while Tesla is expected to integrate these features later. The reviewer points out Tesla's significant advantage in manufacturing experience and cost reduction, with Optimus production costs at $10,000 compared to estimated Figure 02 prices of $30,000-$150,000. Despite Figure 02's advancements, the video concludes that Tesla's Optimus, with its manufacturing prowess and potential for rapid upgrades, remains a strong contender, with the gap in technological advancement being negligible.
