Tesla manufacturer update, checked 2026-10-23: “Optimus production began in Fremont on our high-volume lines.”

Hiwonder TonyBot is a small humanoid (biped) robot kit for STEM learning with 16 DOF servo joints and app/program control.

ROBOTIS OP3 is a small bipedal humanoid research and education platform with 20 DOF and an open software stack used in robotics competitions and labs.

Kawada Robotics Corporation develops, designs, manufactures, sells and maintains robotic machines, equipment and systems. Established on April 1, 2013, it is headquartered in Taito-ku, Tokyo, Japan.

This would be Tesla’s Optimus, an AI-powered humanoid robot that Elon Musk, the company’s CEO, believes will be “not just Tesla’s biggest product ever, but probably the biggest product ever,” headed to work on factory floors and, later, in our homes. Eventually it “will have human and then superhuman dexterity,” he told shareholders in July. Optimus robots could automate almost all human labor—from hauling sheet metal to folding laundry—for as little as $20,000 each, Musk argues. Speaking at the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, in January, he predicted they could be on sale to the public by the end of 2027. GETTY IMAGES Westinghouse’s seven-foot-tall box on legs, Elektro, hit the New York World’s Fair in 1939, smoking a cigarette. WABOT-1, built by Waseda University in Japan in 1973, was the first full-scale, programmable humanoid robot. Honda’s ASIMO, unveiled in 2000, was probably the first such machine to prove at all competent—it could, at least to some degree, climb steps, recognize faces, and autonomously move through spaces. But the robot was discontinued in 2018, unable to advance far enough beyond what it could do in demonstrations to be useful. All, at the time, were impressive—even jaw-dropping—feats of engineering. But none were ready to navigate the real world. Today’s robots, even with the transformative power of advanced AI, still face the same existential challenge. Musk is not alone in his evangelism. Marc Andreessen, cofounder and general partner of the Silicon Valley venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, has said that robotics could become the “biggest industry in the history of the planet.” In January, Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, said that humanoid robots would match human-level ability this year. According to Morgan Stanley, the number of robots that “resemble and act like humans” is likely to reach nearly 1 billion by 2050, creating a market worth over $5 trillion.

In a 2023 policy document, China's government compared the potential impact of humanoid robots with that of computers, smartphones, and electric vehicles. It laid out a plan to deploy humanoid robots across the economy by 2027. China's head start has drawn American investors in for a bit of competitive snooping. In recent months, dozens of VCs, including investors from Eclipse, G2 Venture Partners, and Chemistry VC, have traveled to China. Partners from Founders Fund and Khosla Ventures have also made trips, The Information reported last month.

Eni has reached an agreement with Generative Bionics, an Italian deep-tech business, to investigate possible technological and industrial cooperation in humanoid robotics, TradeArabia News Service reported. The arrangement focuses on Generative Bionics' humanoid robotic systems work, including its GENE.01 platform, and on joint workstreams that will evaluate possible uses within Eni's industrial and operational settings. The partners will examine applications such as inspection, teleoperation, remote assistance and tasks in complex or potentially hazardous environments. They will also assess how robotics could enhance workplace safety and operational efficiency, and they intend to carry out testing and consider opportunities for industrial development. The collaboration aims to merge Eni's industrial, technological and high-performance computing strengths with Generative Bionics' robotics know-how. Another focus is the development and application of humanoid robots driven by Physical AI. The agreement also encompasses exploration of new materials and components for humanoid robots, leveraging Eni's chemicals business, Versalis. Special attention will be paid to advancing the GENE.01 foot and footwear system, with the objective of creating lighter, stronger and scalable solutions that enhance impact absorption, grip, durability and assembly. Finproject, a Versalis company specializing in ultra-lightweight products, could help develop those solutions.
