Earlier this month, just on the day US President Donald Trump launched his cover plan and sent the stock Tesla On -10%, Elon Musk presented significant progress in his human robot, Optimus. In a video posted, the robot seems naturally and safely marching in a controlled hallway: more human and smooth movements, the knees straight and the arms are full of full fit; The hands are moving in 22 levels of freedom, only five degrees less than those of human hand, a record that has not yet been determined as a human -like robot. In the video, the new robot was compared to his early 2023 version in which he goes awkward, and a ridicule on the network as if he is walking like former US President Joe Biden.
Musk has recently been expressed on Tesla’s Yumanoids – Human Robots – with the same enthusiasm he spoke about electric cars a decade ago. In image videos, prepared and cooked that are frequently published in recent months, he presents dust robots, turning tools from the dishwasher and watering the flower pot in the living room while human family members are busy with board games and reading.
At a last year’s event, the capital ram promised that the Yumanoids “will pour the lawn for us, take the dog out for a walk, keep the children and serve as friends for us.” In a glittering event that held journalists, she put several optimos who shared drinks and entertained guests. Musk may believe that a personal home robot is the next consumer revolution, a kind of “tesla” or the “iPhone” that will break through the personal robotics revolution, one that will bring any father home to consider buying a robot for $ 20 or 30,000.

According to the promises he has scattered over the past few months, Tesla will use a thousand human robots in her production factories this year and later sell the free market robots at $ 20,000 per unit. He expects the launch of robots in 2025 to make Tesla a “$ 25 trillion worth” company “by controlling at least 10% of the robotics market and enjoy a clean interval of” dollars “. Is it true?
Musk harnessed the cart before the horses
Many of the robotics industry believe that the revolution is still far and that Tesla may be transplanted in publications about robotic launches to deal with the image crisis created by it. This is in the background of the protest against participation in the government’s cuts program and due to the covers that are dropped under the American car manufacturer the Chinese market. A more critical view of videos released by the company will reveal that in some of them the robots are connected to the cables of the ceiling and others there is a human operator behind the scenes that operates them remotely.
After two years of development: Amnon amusement is expected to start mass production of the drip jiking | exclusive
The assumption in the industry is that Yominoids will only enter father homes in 2030 and industrial plants in 2027 or 2028.
Anyone who appeals to this market as a preliminary target market is none other than Mobilai’s founder, Prof. Amnon Amusement, which is expected to begin in a month of mass production of the robot of Mente – a omnivide capable of marching as a person and lifting 25 kg.
Menti has an alternating battery that allows him to work continuously every day and initial tests with a number of logistical warehouses in Israel. The company, which already employs 70 employees in Herzliya, of which 45 AI people, develops its own language model and launch in the coming weeks Menot 3.1, which is expected to cost $ 30,000 after the production of a thousand units. It is estimated that the price is expected to fall in a production series of $ 10,000 to $ 17,000. Thus, an Israeli company is expected to release a humble robot market, but more practical than Elon Musk or Sam Altman.
Indeed, the bitter truth is that the personal robotics revolution is still far away. There is still no robot that can fill one home task effectively enough. Simple action like preparing a cup of espresso from a hard capsule machine for him; He may be able to do it in one house after a massive training, but if he is required to move to another – he will find it difficult to adapt to a new environment. Joanoid also has difficulty performing water or dirt tasks, such as dishwashing or floor washing, and even dangerous for children – the lightest robot weighs 60 kg and one testifies can cause heavy damage to those who are next to it.
“I guess it will take several years for this technology to develop, and even then, it will start its way as a new technology,” says Guy Glass, an entrepreneur in the field, from the founders of the CAJA robotics company. “In its early stages, it will be the associates of associates and only later in most people – and prices will be significantly higher.
Indeed, according to estimates, when home -made the homeowner will become a home product – not before 2030 – they will deal with “dry” domestic tasks only: they will draw dust from the floor, turn clean tools from the dishwasher, gather objects that are not placed in their place, we are clean of clean laundry according to its wearing identity and may even fold. They will save hours of work, but will still require human presence to perform other homework.
From production strips to security industries
The task of creating a good, effective and safe diarrian robot is very complex. According to Glass, only large financial resources companies can meet it. “In my estimation, the issue of regulation will be a significant barrier that will naturally give an advantage to the big companies,” he says. “There will be quite a few difficulties and faults like any new technology.”
Even if the human robots enter the homes in a few years, the lines have been warming up for some competitors to Tesla with no less promising omeanoids; The most prominent of which is Figure AI founded only three years ago in Silicon Valley, raised over $ 800 million from investors such as Microsoft, OpenAi, Anabiya And the founder of Amazon Jeff Bezos, and is currently worth $ 2.6 billion. According to Reuters, the company now wants to raise an additional $ 1.5 billion at $ 40 billion. The robot launched last August, Figure 02, is equipped with elaborate machine learning systems and its own language modlisions, six color cameras, removable battery and 16 -level hands.
However, the robot, which is considered to be more advanced than his parallel on Tesla, also sees himself as much as employed in manufacturing plants or hospitals before he enters home. In the Edit image video, the company introduced the robot at BMW factories working on the production bars at a South Carolina factory, but a manufacturer’s manufacturer emphasized that this is only one of the robot who exercises the assembly tasks where the plant does not work. The spokesman also noted that he was only recently transferred to work during operation.
Another competitor who warms up on the lines is Boston Dynamics, the old company held by Google Until it sold it to Korean Hyundai. Boston Dynamics has been published thanks to the exciting videos including human robots performing in the air and jumping on surfaces and stairs with great athleticism. However, it is still considered a mystery: the company’s robots are criticized that they are terribly expensive – $ 74,500 its cheapest robot – and it is estimated that the company appeals to the security market with the aim of equipped with armies and outlines in robotic fighters.
Those who try to challenge the West are, of course, Chinese robots manufacturers. “In the Chinese market, where the barriers will be less significant in the West, we will see these systems penetrating the market earlier, just as it currently happens in various fields such as skimmers and autonomous cars,” says Glass. “Once the products become basic shelf products, the Chinese companies will control the market, as has happened in the robotic vacuum cleaner market. However, they will be very difficult to penetrate the West markets, mainly because of prices and tariffs and private problems.”
Today, one of the most prominent companies in the Chinese market is Unitrich, a mangjou skier company that launched two robots: H1 rising 1.8 meters high, and the newer robot G1 the height of a six -year -old. The cheap price, $ 16,000 per unit, and their availability (the last one launched last year) made them a gimmick in Chinese media. The company even promised to broadcast a boxing battle between two robots and a person and robot, but their abilities are quite limited. In the West you see the G1 robot with high motor capabilities and improved stability, but it is inferior to the Western models in its ability to learn tasks and delete humans.
Anabiya also joined the celebration
Even today, in leading companies such as Tesla and Fajor, the realization that the artificial intelligence model that operates the robot is the factor that distinguishes between a stable but stupid robot, and one that is capable of understanding the queries it receives, studying concepts and tasks, and providing you with various environments and scenarios. While Tesla and Fajor develop such models, the artificial intelligence giant Anabiya entered a large voice to the robotics field last month with the launch of its own language model called GROOTN1. Objective: to integrate into the infrastructure of as many home and industrial robots as possible – without manufacturing one itself.
To a large extent, Anabiya is naturally entering this market: unintentionally, it works with Tesla and also helps it with artificial and uninhabited symbolic tasks and unintentionally, which will see it as the great commercial potential of it.
In addition, it already helps for car giants such as Mercedes Benz, and Jaguar Land Rover to train their autonomous vehicles with a virtual simulation system called universal, enabled many manufacturers to make a significant leap in autonomous car development. The simulation systems – a kind of computer that allow for virtual way, a robot activity in thousands of different scripts – are the reason for the significant progress that have done human robots over the past two years in a more stable and human walk and imitation of human movements.
