The Race for Robots among Tech Giants is Heating Up, Billionaire Pham Nhat Vuong Also Quickly Joins In

Following the global spread of the electric vehicle race, a new technology is gradually heating up and "big players" are urgently joining. This is the development of robots, especially humanoid robots.

The field of automation and industrial robots is experiencing strong growth globally, especially in the context of the fourth industrial revolution. Robots are considered "the precious gemstones of the manufacturing industry", with humanoid robots being the ultimate goal for many in the industry.

Compared to highly regarded industrial robots with specialized mechanical abilities, the main challenge in developing humanoid robots lies in perfectly simulating the cognitive processes, consciousness, decision-making, and execution of human beings in various situations. Currently, the United States and China are two competitive nations in this field.

The most attention-grabbing contender in the current race is Tesla by billionaire Elon Musk. The human-shaped robot named Optimus has become the center of attention during the unveiling of Tesla's new car line in October in the U.S.

The humanoid robot model was seen on stage and performed various smooth movements such as handing out bags and drinks to guests, showing off its ability to make cocktails, and playing a game of rock-paper-scissors with attendees. According to QZ, the appearance of Optimus and its interaction with the audience demonstrates Tesla and Elon Musk's efforts with humanoid robots.

In the year 2022, Chinese brand Xiaomi will introduce their first humanoid robot named CyberOne.

The CyberOne is equipped with advanced arms and legs, supporting balance through the movement of both legs and reaching a maximum torque of 300Nm. With the ability to detect human emotions, advanced visual capabilities, and the function to create three-dimensional virtual images of the real world, along with a range of other advanced technologies.

The Chinese human-shaped robot manufacturing industry has clear advantages in terms of supply chain integration and mass production. According to the International Robot Federation, China leads the world in robot production installed in factories, with more than triple the number in North America.

Taking advantage of the trend, many manufacturers have quickly joined in. Recently, the electric vehicle startup Xpeng launched its Iron robot, a nearly 6-foot tall robot developed by the company over 5 years.

The company stated that this particular robot is currently operating in the factories and stores of the company. Iron has shared AI technology with the company's electric cars and has over 60 joints with more than 200 degrees of freedom.

In June, the car manufacturer Dongfeng Motors signed an agreement with the Chinese robot company Ubtech to implement humanoid robots on their production line. Ubtech stated that their Walker S robot will be used to inspect safety lines and doors, as well as perform quality checks and assemble car axles.

Ubtech's robot has also been used by the startup EV Nio for controlling and being used as "trainees" to assist in car production. According to reports, the robots are also being trained in the factories of the electric car giant BYD.

A robotic prototype has been introduced to promote the products of BYD and has been tested as a salesperson at the company's stores in South America.

Apart from car manufacturers and technology companies, this race can truly not deceive the billionaires.

In early November, Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani's startup Addverb announced its plan to launch the first humanoid robot in 2025.

According to Sangeet Kumar, co-founder and CEO of Addverb, these robots will be manufactured at a factory in the outskirts of Noida, Delhi, with an initial production of approximately 100 units in the first year. They are designed to perform a variety of tasks in industries such as fashion, retail, and energy.

According to Mr. Kumar in a video interview, the market is currently attracting a massive amount of investment capital. He also stated that their design is well-prepared and their robots will compete globally in the US and European markets, facing off against Chinese robots.

At the same time, Vietnam's billionaire Pham Nhat Vuong has also announced the establishment of VinRobotics, a research and development company for the application of AI in garment manufacturing, with a charter capital of 1,000 billion VND.

VinRobotics operates in the fields of research, development, and technology transfer, particularly focusing on automation solutions, industrial robots, and artificial intelligence (AI). The company specializes in manufacturing and integrating intelligent sewing products and robots, aiming to provide optimized solutions for production processes and improve work efficiency in industries, services, and daily life.

Although humanoid robot technology is still in its early stages of development and the number of products on the market is limited, billionaire Elon Musk predicts that by 2040, there will be approximately 10 billion humanoid robots produced, with a price range of 20,000 to 30,000 USD, promising coexistence with humans.

According to Goldman Sachs, the global market for humanoid robots is predicted to reach $38 billion in 2035, with approximately 1.4 million units for consumer and industrial applications. The estimated cost of materials for manufacturing robots is expected to decrease to around $150,000 per unit by 2023, excluding research and development costs.
