Apple and Tesla are two of the the world’s largest and most innovative technology companies. Apple revolutionized our lives with the iPhone and Tesla plans to do the same with electric cars. Although Apple has abandoned its Apple Car project, the two companies are once again in agreement on their future plans.
Elon Musk spoke clearly, as we are accustomed to, and on behalf of Apple information was leaked about the alleged robot that they would develop. Will this be the next One More Thing?
Elon Musk thinks humanoid robots will be more successful than Tesla cars
Do you know Optimus? This is the name that Elon Musk gave to the Tesla Bot, a humanoid robot project which aims to revolutionize our tasks from home to industry
This robot can walk, hold fragile objects like an egg… So it would be the domestic worker perfect for completing tasks that we like the least, like cleaning, making the bed, etc.. Regarding the industrial world, it can also have many applications, even if these companies are already more accustomed to robotics than in the domestic world.
Elon Musk’s prediction is that demand for the humanoid robot could reach 20 billion units, even exceeding the initial estimate of 10 billion units. Additionally, Musk also suggested that Optimus could become a bigger business than electric vehicles of Tesla.
Apple is already working on a secret robotics project for the home
Mark Gurman himself detailed Apple’s plans for its robotics project that it is developing in its most secret laboratories. The robot you have in mind Apple would be mobile and follow users at home
Plus, Apple wants this robot to work household chores like washing dishes in a sink. Without a doubt, a great challenge for technology as we have already analyzed in Applesfera when we reported the news.
Tesla and Apple don’t have an approximate launch date for these robots, and they We are aware that this would be a historic revolution. Tesla has already presented prototypes. Apple, for its part, is in a nascent phase of the project. As with the Apple Vision Pro, it can easily be a ten year project
Regarding the price, Elon Musk said in his count of which would be much cheaper than a Tesla, we would therefore be talking about 20,000 dollars. A price a priori very high, but seen from a financial point of view, this means a person’s salary for a year. From there, the robot would be free. Without a doubt, this opens up another much more important paradigm, that of to what extent will robots replace humans and how it will affect the economy and society.
