Industry insiders say Samsung Electronics has begun to formulate a robot development strategy.

August 4 news, according to foreign media reports, industry insiders revealed that a planning team of Samsung Electronics Device eXperience (DX) department has begun to formulate a strategy to enter the robot market.

After Tesla, Google and Microsoft, Samsung Electronics has also set its sights on the development of humanoid robots. According to foreign media reports, the company has begun a comprehensive study of how to develop humanoid robots that walk on two feet like humans.

Humanoid robots are expected to have a wider range of uses and potential than ordinary robots, the report said. With the commercialization of humanoid robots, Samsung Electronics is studying the medium-and long-term strategy of its robotics business.

It is reported that Tesla is a pioneer in the humanoid robot market. In October 2022, the company officially introduced its first humanoid robot, the Optimus, at the AI Day event, which is scheduled to go on sale as early as next year for $20,000 each.

Tesla CEO Musk said Optimus Prime is 5ft 8in tall, weighs 125kg, walks at a speed of 5mph, can carry up to 45lbs, and has a screen on its head so that users can get useful information.

Foreign media said Tesla's "Optimus Prime" is likely to fully integrate Tesla's latest technology, including autopilot, artificial intelligence and Neuralink technology.
