Tesla CEO Elon Musk has made a major prediction about the future of humanoid robots, saying that the use of these robots could increase rapidly over the next few years.
According to him, personal robots could become part of household life in the future, and people could use them for various daily tasks, including educating children and taking care of elderly people.
Speaking in an interview with Chinese media, Elon Musk said that advances in artificial intelligence and robotics could enable one person in the future to control thousands of robots and digital agents simultaneously.
Prediction of One Billion Robots
The Tesla chief claimed that the number of humanoid robots in the world could reach one billion over the next 10 years. He also predicted that robotics would continue to expand rapidly after that.
According to Elon Musk, the number of humanoid robots could reach 10 billion over a period of 15 years, while after 20 years, the figure could reach 100 billion. These figures were presented by him as predictions about possible future trends.
Use of Personal Robots in Homes
Elon Musk said that in the future, the use of robots will not remain limited to industries or businesses, but ordinary people will also be able to use personal robots.
According to him, families could use such robots to help take care of their elderly parents and children. In addition, robots could also assist with various household tasks and other daily responsibilities.
Education of Children Through Robots
The Tesla CEO said that in the future, many tasks, including the education of children, could also be performed by robots for which human services are currently required.
He also pointed to the possibility that robots equipped with artificial intelligence could understand the needs of different individuals and provide them with customized services.
One Person Will Control Thousands of Robots
According to Elon Musk, future technology could change the way humans and machines work together. He said that one person could control thousands of robots and digital agents simultaneously.
Under this concept, an individual could give instructions to automated machines located in different places through a central system, which could make the large-scale use of robotics possible.
Advice to Visit China
During the conversation, Elon Musk also advised people to travel to China. He said that people should definitely visit China when they get the opportunity, while if time is limited, they should make sure to visit Shanghai and Beijing.
Elon Musk’s prediction regarding humanoid robots comes at a time when investment and research in artificial intelligence, automated machines and robotics are rapidly increasing around the world. However, the statement regarding the number of robots is a prediction, and whether it proves accurate in the future will depend on various factors, including technology, costs, production and demand in global markets.
