Exciting Prediction About Humanoid Robots: It Could Be As Big As The Electric Car Industry

The American investment banking giant Goldman Sachs has made a prediction about the future of humanoid robots like Tesla’s Optimus, which was showcased as a prototype in recent months. According to the company, such robots could turn into a $150 billion market within the next 15 years.

Humanoid robots, which we usually see in science fiction movies, have already started entering our lives. Many tech companies are accelerating their efforts regarding these robots, which are expected to become widespread in the future. One of these companies is the U.S.-based Tesla, operated under the leadership of Elon Musk.

The tech giant announced in 2021 that it was working on a humanoid robot. At its AI Day artificial intelligence event held in recent months, the company revealed for the first time the prototype of this robot, named Optimus, to the world. Following the highly anticipated unveiling of the robot, many people began to wonder how widespread these robots would become in the future. A prediction on this matter came from Goldman Sachs, one of the largest investment banks in the world.

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

The giant investment bank has predicted that humanoid robots like Tesla's Optimus robot could become an industry worth more than $150 billion in the next 15 years. The US company made this prediction by publishing an investment report on this issue, pioneered by Tesla.

Goldman Sachs' report included the following statements: "Tesla's introduction of the prototype of the humanoid robot Optimus sparked discussions about what the financial opportunities of such innovations would be like. The investment case for humanoid robots is quite large. “We see a market of up to $152 billion by 2035 if barriers to product design, use case, affordability and public acceptance are eroded.”

This forecast, which the company calls the 'blue sky scenario', shows that the humanoid robot industry can grow considerably. In fact, while the number given is almost equivalent to the current global electric car market, it is one third of the smartphone industry. Although the investment bank made such a prediction, there are some doubts about humanoid robots, based on Tesla's prototype.



Experts say Tesla's robot isn't that impressive for now

Although Tesla's demonstration of the prototype of Optimus excited most people, it did not impress some. Many robotics professors say that it is amazing that the US technology giant designed this robot in such a short time; However, he said that Optimus's functions were not impressive. It was even stated that Optimus's movements were similar to Asimo, which Honda first introduced in 2000.

In addition, experts stated that although the robot has potential, it is not a revolutionary technology by 2022, and that Optimus is far from innovation. In addition, Optimus's movements are not human-like; Therefore, it was stated that it is unrealistic to think that the current state can replace humans.

So, as you can see, there are some doubts about Tesla's robot. However, what the company showed is only a prototype. Tesla is still developing Optimus and adds that it will take 3-5 years to launch. Therefore, we can say that Tesla's robot is likely to make significant progress and reach the desired level within 5 years.

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