Analysts from Bank of America predict a significant increase in humanoid robot adoption, forecasting global annual sales to hit 1 million units by 2030 and 3 billion units in operation by 2060. This growth is driven by advancements in artificial intelligence, 3D perception, and decreasing hardware costs, transitioning humanoid robots from prototypes to mainstream applications. The U.S. and China are at the forefront of this innovation, with key contributions from major companies.
Tesla's Optimus Gen 2 robot is currently priced between $50K and $60K, but production costs are expected to drop to $35K by 2025 and $17K by 2030. This trend mirrors the decline in electric vehicle component prices, which has spurred EV adoption, suggesting a similar trajectory for humanoid robots. As these robots become more affordable and versatile, their integration into everyday life is anticipated to accelerate, marking the dawn of a new era in robotics.
