- Tesla will launch Optimus version-3 in early 2026, robots will be the company’s biggest product: Musk
Claiming that Optimus humanoid robots like humans are the future of the world, the world’s richest billionaire and Tesla CEO Elon Musk made it clear that his Optimus robots will be the next big leap in a world equipped with cutting-edge technology. These robots will also help eradicate poverty one day. No one should be surprised anymore that robots and AI are the future of the world. Tesla’s vision now goes beyond clean energy and self-driving cars to humanoid robots.
Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk said that humanoid robots will be at the heart of Tesla’s long-term growth strategy in the near future, which will be a shift in the company’s focus on electric vehicles. Musk announced that the third version of Optimus will be introduced by the beginning of 2026. Tesla owner Elon Musk expects to start producing one million Optimus humanoid robots annually.
Elon Musk said that Optimus robots are designed to look, walk and think like humans. Their bodies will be equipped with an AI vision system and neural networks, which will be able to make human-like movements and decisions. He added that Optimus robots have the potential to become the largest product ever. These robots will work with five times more capacity than humans. These robots will also be extraordinary surgeons, capable of performing surgeries like doctors. These robots will initially be installed in Tesla’s factories, and then launched in the market.
Tesla’s Optimus robots will be almost human-like in appearance and function and will be able to perform tasks that are repetitive or physically challenging for humans. According to Musk, robots will play a wide range of daily roles from production and logistics to healthcare and household help. This will create a world where there will be no poverty and everyone will be able to access the best medical care. Optimus robots will also be able to serve as unparalleled surgeons. However, industrialist Elon Musk failed to explain how humanoid robots will eradicate poverty.
The Optimus project first caught everyone’s attention when the first replicas of the robots were demonstrated at Tesla’s events in 2023. At that time, the robots were seen carrying objects and performing simple tasks. Their development has accelerated and Optimus units are now being tested at Tesla factories. Musk said the robots will soon be able to work independently with human-like dexterity and decision-making abilities.
