Usually seen in science fiction movies. humanoid robots It has already started to come into our lives. Many tech companies are accelerating their moves on these robots, which are expected to become very common in the future. One of these is US-based Tesla, which operates under the leadership of Elon Musk.

The giant company announced that it is working on a humanoid robot in 2021. In the artificial intelligence event called AI Day held in recent months, “Optimus’ He showed the world the prototype of this robot named after him for the first time. After the introduction of the robot, which caused a lot of excitement, many people wondered how widespread these robots would be in the future. One estimate in this regard is the US, one of the world’s largest investment banks. from Goldman Sachs came.

Humanoid robots could become a $150 billion industry in 15 years

The giant investment bank estimates that humanoid robots like Tesla’s Optimus robot could grow into an industry worth more than $150 billion in the next 15 years. The US company made this prediction by publishing an investment report on the subject, led by Tesla.

The following statements are included in the Goldman Sachs report:Tesla’s unveiling of the prototype humanoid robot Optimus sparked debate about what the financial opportunities would be for such innovations. The investment situation for humanoid robots is quite large. By 2035 if barriers to product design, use case, affordability and public adoption are removed up to $152 billion We see a market.”

This forecast, which the company calls the ‘blue sky scenario’, shows that the humanoid robot industry can grow significantly. Even the given number is the current global almost equal to the electric car market, as much as a third of the smartphone industry. Although the investment bank makes such a prediction, there are doubts about humanoid robots, based on Tesla’s prototype.

Experts say Tesla’s robot isn’t that impressive for a while

Tesla’s demonstration of the Optimus prototype got many people excited, but some didn’t. Many robotics professors say it’s amazing that the US tech giant designed this robot in such a short time; however, the functions of Optimus not impressive said. It was even claimed that Optimus’ movements resembled the Asimo, which Honda first introduced in 2000.

In addition, experts argue that while the robot has potential, it is not a revolutionary technology compared to 2022. is far from innovation had transferred. Also that Optimus’s movements are not human; therefore it was argued that it was unrealistic to think that its current state could replace humans.

So you see, there are some doubts about Tesla’s robot. But what the company has shown is just a prototype. Tesla is still developing on the Optimus, adding that it will take 3-5 years to launch. That’s why Tesla’s robot within 5 years We can say that there is a possibility that it will reach the desired level by making serious development.

Humanoid robots are supposed to reduce labor costs, replace people in difficult jobs, and help us in our daily lives for years to come. If this happens and such devices, especially Tesla’s robot, can achieve the desired functionality, Goldman Sachs forecast for the next 15 years can come true. We will see in the coming years what the future of these technologies, which have the potential to completely change the world, will be.
