Robot researcher and developer. I am not an expert but I enjoy talking about robots 🤖 of all types. DM me if you feel the same.

My thoughts on humanoid robots in general. First in a series of podcasts by me on all things robotic. https://t.co/oEiHt1IVDp What do you think?

@caliperdynamics @BambulabGlobal @BambulabJapan @shiba_8ro You take what you get.

New 3D Printer to make robot parts with! @BambulabGlobal @BambulabJapan @shiba_8ro

[Michael Overstreet #RobotJox @i_bioloid]

@shiba_8ro LOL, it is okay that you copied me

[Michael Overstreet #RobotJox @i_bioloid]

@shiba_8ro Only 15 years? Since Christmas 2009 for me.

This has already happened. INVIDA bought Hugging Face because of this. OPENAI is not open source by the way. Not sure where he has been for the last year?

[Michael Overstreet #RobotJox @i_bioloid]

Is this the motivation behind the whistleblowing. To pause the Anthropic IPO? Is China behind this. Can we follow the money to see?

[David Sacks @DavidSacks]

Surely Anthropic’s IPO must be paused until the claims of this “whistleblower” can be investigated.

@RandyWKirk1 Looks like you have totally changed all of your Tesla humanoid robot predictions?

[Michael Overstreet #RobotJox @i_bioloid]

@michellelsun You should have no backlash in the hip and knee joints. You also need high holding torque in those actuators also. The robot will shake itself apart without those qualities. Cycloidal or Strain wave (Harmonic drive) gearing are a most add-on for the actuators.

@RandyWKirk1 It is too soon to mass produce Optimus

[Michael Overstreet #RobotJox @i_bioloid]

@shiba_8ro @burnsever2 Yes, you should. I would build a X330 version

Fun times ! Before 3d printing was cool!

[Michael Overstreet #RobotJox @i_bioloid]

@RandyWKirk1 @nextbigfuture @TeslaLarry I think Optimus is still in BETA testing. Mass production still feels early to me.

@shiba_8ro What does the filament sensor do?

Interesting news. We will see if it true.

GOOD NEWS 🤖 According to supply-chain vendors and today’s report by Jiemian News, Tesla has issued an initial batch order for roughly 5,000 Optimus robots 🔥

Following earlier pilot runs of just a few hundred units, this marks the program's first production order in the thousands. The new order establishes a firm baseline delivery target of around 15,000 units this year.

More importantly, it signals a critical pivot: the supply chain is moving past merely proving the robot can be built and into the phase of testing real volume manufacturing.

The immediate hurdle is a crucial round of domestic supplier audits scheduled for September—Tesla's standard gateway for bumping vendors from provisional status to certified mass-production partners.

That timing fits right into Tesla’s procurement guidance, which calls for suppliers to hit a run rate of 1,000 units per week in September, ramping up to between 2,000 and 2,500 weekly by year-end.

While Tesla has a track record of sliding timelines, this milestone carries different weight. With purchase orders officially cut, audits on the calendar, and suppliers actively stocking inventory, the program is shifting from executive talk to real execution on the factory floor.

@shiba_8ro @nicks_robots Their manufacturing issues make no sense to me. I was 3d printing parts for robots over 15 years ago. This is your picture.

@Drizzy_Dru29 No reason to move Cags out of right field. Vinnie is a really good 1st baseman. Royals have control over him for two more years
