Part 6/9:
Inference and Distributed Intelligence: The Future of Robotics
At the core of Optimus is an AI-driven operating system that runs inference processes, determining how the robot interprets and acts in its environment. The computational capabilities of Optimus can be significantly enhanced by leveraging distributed networks, whereby tasks requiring more computational power can be processed across different units within the fleet or even in the Tesla cloud.
This distributed intelligence fosters seamless operation under various conditions. For example, while one Optimus accomplishes a task, another dormant unit can assist by sharing computational resources, which effectively allows for real-time processing and interaction without noticeable latency.
