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.
