Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk has announced that the company’s humanoid robot, still in development, could potentially be ready for sale by the end of next year.

Musk made this statement during a conference call with investors, expressing his anticipation that the Tesla robot would be capable of performing tasks within factory environments by the end of this year.

Humanoid robots have garnered interest from several companies as potential solutions to address labour shortages and undertake repetitive tasks in industries such as logistics, warehousing, retail, and manufacturing.

Major players in the field, including Japan’s Honda and Hyundai Motor’s Boston Dynamics, have been actively pursuing advancements in humanoid robotics for years.

Recent collaborative efforts between tech companies and automotive giants have led to the integration of humanoid robots into their operations.
