Part 2/8:
While several companies are venturing into the field of humanoid robotics, industry insiders believe that the race is not just about participation but leadership. According to Herbert, the CEO of Sanctuary AI, the milestone of deploying 1,000 robots doing valuable work is seen as critical to winning the race. Tesla has stated ambitions to have at least 1,000 functioning robots in their factories as soon as this year, a timeline that other companies are struggling to match. This early lead puts Tesla in a strong position to establish itself as the dominant provider of labor in the robotics market.
