Tesla boss Elon Musk says the electric car maker will start producing and using humanoid robots from next year.
In a social media update, Elon Musk stated that Tesla will initially employ the robots, with plans to commence production for sale by 2026.
He had earlier anticipated that the robot, named Optimus, would be operational in Tesla factories by this year’s end. Additionally, companies such as Honda Rototics and Boston Dynamics are also advancing their humanoid robot technologies.
“Tesla will have genuinely useful humanoid robots in low production for Tesla internal use next year and, hopefully, high production for other companies in 2026,” Mr Musk posted on his social media platform X.
