You can see the technical operator working on it first hand in this video by @teslaownersSV
I have identified around six automations required for each individual segment placement
Presenting the precast segment to the Erector
Erector identifying the engagement point on the segment
Erector lifting the segment
Erector auto balancing the segment
Bringing the segment to the right place in the ring
Erector disengaging with the segment and returning home after pushing the front propulsion cylinders on the segment
It appears they are still perfecting the more nuanced keystone segment that go in between other segments
As we see in the video there is a computer vision problem of detecting the engagement point on the segment correctly by the erector in all scenarios
Another important point at the end of the video, the team lead talks about all the sensor and image data being used to improve the machine vision models. I am very curious about this because recording the operator movements along with images, sensor data coming in should create a photons in, sensor info in, controls out automation similar to tesla fsd. Would love to hear more about how they are thinking about this.
Prufrock builds tunnel rings fully autonomously.
Six concrete segments (~3,750 lb each), are lifted, translated and placed into final position.
That's the weight of a Tesla Model 3, placed with millimeter precision in < 1 minute, monitored remotely from the Global OCC in Texas.
@Socdem_Michael Big brain MAGA are planning something BIG.
They destroyed republican party in North Carolina, Arizona and Georgia.
Now Texas is on life support.
Tomorrow it will be Florida.
Scumbags successfully destroyed Republican Party. By the end of 2028, nothing will be left.
There is no mass migration nonsense when the whole Indian population is only 2% of Texas at best.
This is just crude racism in the cloak of immigration concern. What do you get by pissing off those 2% of people who are citizens.
Insulting an entire race over hyped up concerns is a recipe for disaster.
@LoewyLawFirm He doesn’t have to win anything. Even if 5% of republican voters with hold their vote for the party, that is enough to sink the party forever.
The point is he is not the only one but there are a cohort of republicans and conservatives who feel this way.
@LoewyLawFirm You mean the same receptive audience that defeated republicans in North Carolina governors race or Kari Lake in Arizona.
Trump barely won Texas with 6 points in 2020 and Cruz won the state by 3 points in 2018.
Texas is not some deep red Oklahoma or Wyoming or Idaho
@JRFranklin15 This will immensely help black community and make them a top community in many areas.
A few violent offenders are pulling back the community.
@statsprovenutn@neoavatara Imagine being this shameless to shill for a president who never cracked 50% and who lost senate seats in Arizona, Georgia.
He is all set to wipe out Texas too in 2026.
Scum MAGA is what no one needs
@statsprovenutn@neoavatara The 2014 midterms were the biggest wins in GOP history.
Being a cheap big government socialist means nobody is excited for this coalition.
This so called genius also never crossed 50% in any election even when the other side is in a death cult.
@JackPosobiec Scumbags like you are the same cancer to conservative movement that Hasan piker is to democrats.
Any candidate that is associated with you is an automatic disqualification to run for office same as Hasan piker’s endorsement.
@catturd2 For this loser, giving the first democrat in Texas in 30 years. Congrats MAGA. Destroyed NC, Georgia and Arizona. Now Texas. You scum are going to conservative values.

You mean he is not the loser busy losing Texas like this

You people are a shame to the conservative movement with your groyper mentality. Texas barely stood in 2020 for republicans with a 6 point majority.
With the groyper and MAGA takeover, the state will fall to socialism by 2028.
I am calling out Austin groypers and racists. You can say anything you want.
Keep rationing those 3% swing voters who helped trump win in 2020 or 1.5% swing voters who helped Cruz win in 2018 with the 45% Republican voters. There will nothing left but ash.
You are the reason why conservatives are losing Texas.
I am the reason conservatives will win and keep Texas.
