Tesla boss Elon Musk says the electric vehicle car maker
will start producing and using humanoid robots from next year.
In a social media post, Mr Musk said the robots will first
be used by Tesla, which will start making them to sell in 2026.
The technology billionaire had previously said he expected
the robot, called Optimus, to be ready for use in Tesla
factories by the end of this year.
Other firms, including Honda and Boston Dynamics, have
also been developing their own humanoid robots.
"Tesla will have genuinely useful humanoid robots in low
production for Tesla internal use next year and, hopefully,
high production for other companies in 2026," Mr Musk said
on his social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.
It came just a day before Tesla was due to release its
latest financial results.

Ummmm ... just a LITTLE hypocrisy eh ?
I've seen vids of Chat4 connected to a robotic
upper-torso - and it's good enough to do some
kinds of factory work already. Musk's bots
seem to have legs, based on one photo, or
maybe a Darlek-like roll-around base.
Boston Dynamics seems to have the best humanoid
bots ... but I've never seen one that wasn't
wired to a big computer. 6-G might sub for the
wires ....
The underlying message - NO JOBS FOR YOU !
