Key takeaways
- Humanoid robots are gaining momentum across multiple fronts as of June 2026.
- Investors are betting heavily on the sector, with Barclays forecasting a $200 billion market by 2035 and Wedbush’s Dan Ives suggesting it could eventually be worth trillions, while SoftBank’s Masayoshi Son has called physical AI the next trillion‑dollar opportunity.
- Companies such as China’s Unitree Robotics are showcasing humanoids in public venues, and Chinese manufacturers now claim the capacity to build thousands of units annually, though analysts warn demand may lag supply.
- In the United States, corporate giants are accelerating development: OpenAI is expanding its robotics lab to create a humanoid platform, Meta has acquired Assured Robot Intelligence to boost its AI models for humanoids, and Boston Dynamics—now owned by Hyundai—is planning to field tens of thousands of Atlas robots in factories by 2028.
- Tesla’s Optimus remains a high‑profile but opaque project, with CEO Elon Musk hinting that limited consumer sales could start by the end of 2027.
San Francisco, California, United States, June 6, 2026 -- Talk is cheap. Rhem measures, explains, and acts. Launching on Kickstarter July 20, Rhem is an AI wellness companion robot built from the ground up to do the things families would otherwise have to do themselves. It reads a household's vital signs and home air with onboard sensors, explains what the numbers mean in plain language, and turns them into personalized wellness guidance for each person — then handles the small tasks of staying healthy at home, from setting reminders to finding nearby care. About Rhem Labs
Rhem Labs builds companion robots for the home. Its first product, Rhem, brings multi-vital health sensing, environmental monitoring, voice AI, and on-device compute into a single robot designed for everyday care — so families can track the signals that matter, understand them in plain language, and act on them without leaving home. Founded in 2025 by a team of engineers, caregivers, and physicians across San Francisco, Germany, and Tokyo, Rhem Labs is built on a simple conviction: technology, done right, should give people more room to feel human.
