Electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Tesla plans to launch humanoid robots for internal purposes beginning next year, with plans for wider production by 2026.
"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," Tesla CEO Elon Musk posted on his X account Monday, July 22.
The announcement came after Musk said in April that the Tesla robot Optimus would be able to carry out factory jobs by the end of this year and could be ready for sale by the end of 2025.
Humanoid robots are created to resemble humans, emulating facial expressions and movements.
Many companies, including Japan's Honda and Hyundai Motor's Boston Dynamics, have been betting on humanoid robots to address possible labor shortages in certain industries by doing repetitive tasks that may be viewed as dangerous or tedious.
