The latest news about the humanoid robot was that Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, released the latest video of the humanoid robot, Maximus, on December 12th. According to the introduction in the video, the walking speed of the second-generation humanoid robot, Optimus-Gen2, had increased by 30%. Its balance and body control had also improved. In addition, the overall weight of the second-generation robot was reduced by 10kg compared to the previous generation. These developments showed the continuous evolution and improvement of the technology of the humanoid robots. However, the current information was insufficient to provide more information about the details and latest news about the humanoid robot.
On the morning of October 11th, 2024, Tesla held a humanoid robot conference called "We, Robot" at the Warner Bros. studio in Burbank, California, USA. At the press conference, Tesla demonstrated a number of features of the humanoid robot, such as flexible mobility and the ability to perform complex tasks ranging from household chores to industrial production line work. The Optimus was about 1.7 meters tall. It was dexterous and mobile. It could carry heavy objects, operate tools, and sense the surrounding environment in real time to make independent decisions. It was equipped with advanced sensor systems including cameras, lidars, and ultrasonic sensors, as well as a deep learning system with built-in deep learning algorithms. It could also seamlessly connect with other products of Tesla, such as cars. A number of humanoid robots danced at the press conference. In June 2024, the second-generation Optimus had tried to "work" at the Tesla factory. With the help of the visual neural network and FSD chip, it could simulate human operation for battery sorting training. In addition, the humanoid robot also demonstrated abilities such as rock-paper-scissors, guessing games, interacting with the audience (including chatting, singing birthday songs, taking photos with thumbs up, etc.), and serving wine. However, the press conference also raised some doubts. Some people believed that robots might be remotely controlled by humans. "Transformers: Origins" was not enough.

The latest humanoid robot released by Tesla, the Optimus-Gen2, had many improvements and enhancements. According to the video and introduction released by Tesla, the walking speed of the second-generation Prime had increased by 30%, and its balance and body control had also improved. In addition, the overall weight of the second-generation Prime was reduced from 73kg to 63kg. According to Tesla, the second-generation Prime was equipped with sensors and sensors designed by Tesla, which provided faster response speed and higher execution capabilities. It was also equipped with a touch sensor, integrated electronics and wire harness for the executors, a foot force/moment sensor, and an hinged toe. It was obvious from the video that the performance of the second-generation Prime had been significantly improved. The second-generation Prime was expected to be released in December 2023.
According to reports, the Tesla humanoid robot Optimus may be available for sale in 2025, but Tesla may also mass produce humanoid robots for other companies in 2026. Musk has said that humanoid robots may be available for sale by the end of 2025 at the earliest, and next year (2025), a small number of such robots will be produced for internal use. However, based on historical experience, Musk's bold promises to Wall Street investors had been bounced many times. "Transformers: Origins" was not enough. Everyone, please click to read the novel!
The China humanoid robot was a type of robot that was designed to imitate human behavior and had great potential for development. In recent years, China had made significant progress in the field of humanoid robot technology. Many scientific research institutions and universities had conducted in-depth research on humanoid robot motion control, perception, planning, decision-making, and other aspects, and had achieved important results. With the development of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, the level of intelligence of humanoid robots was also constantly improving. At present, humanoid robots have been used in industrial production, medical health, family services, public safety, and other fields. As the application scenarios are further expanded, humanoid robots will play an important role in more fields. The China government attached great importance to the robot industry and introduced a series of supportive policies to provide strong support for the development of the robot industry. It was predicted that the market size of humanoid robots in China would reach 2.76 billion yuan by 2024 and 300 billion yuan by 2035. China showed a leading position in the number of patent applications, industry scale, and supply chain in the field of humanoid robots. Therefore, the humanoid robot industry in China had broad prospects for commerce.
In 2024, China hosted several humanoid robot conferences, including the first China Humanoid Robot Industry Conference and the 2024 China Humanoid Robot Eco Conference. The purpose of these conferences was to discuss the development direction of the humanoid robot research industry and promote the innovation and development of the humanoid robot industry. According to predictions, by 2029, the market size of humanoid robots in China was expected to reach 75 billion yuan, accounting for 32.7% of the world's total. These conferences attracted experts, entrepreneurs, and industry professionals from home and abroad to participate, showcase the latest technologies and products, and share relevant policies and research results in the field of humanoid robots. Through these conferences, China hoped to build a strong ecosystem of humanoid robots and promote the innovation and development of the humanoid robot industry.
The 2024 China Humanoid Robot Conference (CHREC2024) will be held in Shanghai on April 2. This was a grand event that brought together top scholars, entrepreneurs, and industry elites at home and abroad. It aimed to build a high-end communication platform for humanoid robots that spanned academic research and industrial practice. The theme of the conference was "Human-machine fusion and wisdom for the future". It would focus on the latest scientific research results, technological innovation, market prospects and industry strategies in the global humanoid robot field, and jointly explore the innovative development path of the humanoid robot industry in China and even the world. Humanoid robots, as the crystallization of cutting-edge technology, showed great application potential and commercial value in many fields such as education, medical care, family services, public safety, and special operations. This conference would build a top-level platform for academic and industrial exchanges in the field of humanoid robots to promote the innovation and development of the humanoid robot industry.
In 2023, Yushu Technology launched the first universal humanoid robot product, the H1. The H1 was designed with lightweight materials. Its overall weight was only 47kg, and it had 19 degrees of freedom. Its walking posture was light and stable. Its leg joint motor had a peak moment of 360N·m. Combined with the hollow axis and dual coders, it could complete complex movements and adapt to different terrains and walking conditions. The H1 was also equipped with an AI robot algorithm developed by Yushu, which could learn high-speed running and a variety of high-dynamic dance moves. The robot had entered the global market and was mass-produced and shipped in small batches in the second half of 2023. Yushu Technology was a world-renowned robot company that focused on the independent development, production and sales of consumer-grade and industry-grade high-performance legged robots and dexterous robotic arms.
