Chez Tesla, des ouvriers refusent d'enregistrer leurs gestes pour Optimus, le robot censé les remplacer

To train Optimus by imitation, Tesla's management first fitted its own employees with motion-capture suits, Numerama reports. The idea was to record their movements and teach them to the robot.

The order went down badly, according to The Information. Workers at the factories in Texas and California protested, fearing they would be training the machine designed to replace them.

Tesla eventually handed this data collection to dedicated teams. Wearing camera headsets and capture suits, they work in training centres in Colorado, Arizona and Florida.
