Andrey Golub writes on LinkedIn: Robotics Industry Skeptical About Humanoid Robot Viability Amid Cobots’ Rise.

Elon Musk’s ambition to mass-produce humanoid robots by 2025 contrasts sharply with the cautious optimism in the robotics supply chain. While Tesla pushes forward, key industry players like Japan’s Fanuc and Taiwan’s HIWIN emphasize the nearer-term potential of collaborative robots (cobots). Fanuc, a leader in industrial robotics, showcased a significant lineup of cobots at the 2024 TAIROS event, underscoring their strategic shift.

Meanwhile, HIWIN focuses on specialized non-humanoid robots, reflecting broader industry skepticism regarding the commercial readiness of humanoid robots. The sector remains divided, with immediate opportunities seen more in cobots and industrial automation rather than humanoid forms, which still face technical and safety challenges.
