Tesla will introduce humanoid robots by 2025
At US automaker Tesla, humanoid robots are expected to be used starting next year. The human-like machines will initially be built in small quantities for internal purposes, Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced on his microblogging platform X.
Months ago, he had announced that the "Optimus" type robot would be introduced by the end of 2024. For other companies, the robots will be produced in large quantities starting from 2026.
Humanoid robots are modeled after the human form and have been in development for several years, for instance, at Japanese automaker Honda and the robotics pioneer Boston Dynamics, which is affiliated with Hyundai Motor.
Several companies are investing in the new robot generation to mitigate potential labor shortages and take over tasks in areas such as logistics, warehousing, and manufacturing.
Tesla's CEO, Elon Musk, mentioned that the "Type Optimus" robot is anticipated to be unveiled by the end of 2024. In the future, Tesla plans to utilize robots, including Optimer, in both small and large quantities for both internal purposes and external sales, as suggested by Musk's recent statements.
