  A robot-specific processing unit. Contains CPUs, FPGAs and GPUs and maps ROS efficiently to them for best performance.

  

Optimus robot isn't anything new but the team behind it believes that "their brain" is the key to conquer humanoids. This article takes a closer look at the public information available on their hardware and software computer architecture, and the evolution behind it. When compared to Optimus' latest "Bot Brain", existing open source software and hardware alternatives present a much more appealing starting point for building humanoid robots. In particular the Robot Operating System (ROS) could save them hundreds of engineering years in software development and the Robotic Processing Unit hardware provides 7.5x AI Performance capabilities of Tesla's "Bot Brain". Tesla could do lots of good joining the robotics community trends and contributing instead of reinventing the wheel in software and hardware.
