OVER the past few years it’s been predicted that robots will live amongst.
In 2025, we are beginning to see signs that they almost here. Some of the leading technology companies are developing their humanoid robots.
Tesla Optimus is is a general-purpose robotic humanoid under development by Tesla, it was announced at the company’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) Day event on August 19, 2021, and a prototype was shown in 2022.
What's interesting about the robot is that the Tesla CEO Elon Musk thinks Optimus "has the potential to be more significant than Tesla's vehicle business over time." There’s a belief that humanoid robots will form part of future workforce and human companions.
The Chinese tech company, Xiaomi, has also developed their own humanoid robot, known as CyberOne.
It’s a full-sized bipedal robot designed with advanced features like 21 joints, a 3D visual spatial system, and the ability to sense human emotions and interpret environments.
