I am guessing that this is teleoperated, not autonomous. If it can do this autonomously that would be extremely impressive. Of course, even without autonomy it's still impressive as a demo of hardware capabilities and of the fidelity of their teleoperation system. And with data like this fed into modern ML it's only a matter of time before they can train a system to do this.

Edit: teleoperation confirmed https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1746970616060580326

Seems teleoperation is a method of “teaching” the bot. E.g. reinforcement learning based on video input(?)

Yes, it's how they will collect the datasets they need to train the robot to do tasks autonomously. So it is important and valuable.

Even a teleoperated version can command a huge market. Think millions of robo butlers operated by gig workers from low income countries.

I don't think so.

Who gives unknown people full access to their homes?

Unknown people who work for a large service company? With panopticon-grade surveillance? I bet people could be convinced.

You mean subcontractor of a large company and most likely will share the best bits of video surveillance material

Interesting. After a big advance of AI we should expect a big advance of robotics.
