Tesla (TSLA.US) CEO Elon Musk made predictions about the future development of humanoid robots via a video link at the 8th Future Investment Initiative conference held in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia.
The future humanoid robot population will exceed that of humans.
Musk believes that by 2040, the number of humanoid robots may exceed that of humans, and humanoid robots will support Tesla in becoming a $25 trillion company, with at least 10 billion humanoid robots in use globally by then.
Earlier this month, the official account of Tesla's humanoid robot Optimus retweeted a post from a Tesla investor, revealing that the next generation of Optimus will have 22 degrees of freedom in its 'hands', stating that it 'looks very much like a human'. Musk added, 'It can play the piano and even the guitar.'
In addition, Tesla's second-generation humanoid robot Optimus will officially debut at the 2024 World Artificial Intelligence Conference. Tesla is not the only company advancing the development of humanoid robots; the so-called 'strongest' humanoid robot Figure02 has been launched and is already working in a BMW factory.
In contrast, in China, 27 models of humanoid robots from both domestic and foreign sources were showcased at the 2024 World Robot Conference held in Beijing, demonstrating the trend of vigorous future development of the industry.
The year 2024 is referred to as the year of commercialization for humanoid robots, as humanoid robots will unleash significant commercial potential. According to a report released at the first China Humanoid Robot Industry Conference, the market size for humanoid robots in China is expected to reach 2.76 billion yuan by 2024, and it is expected to grow into a hundred billion yuan market by 2030.
According to forecasts from several investment banks and think tanks, the humanoid robot industry will reach a trillion-dollar scale by 2035. In the context of the rapid construction of the humanoid robot industry chain, consumption, and databases, it is growing into a force that cannot be ignored.
In summary, the future is the era of robots, and our lives will be inseparable from robots!
