TrendForce forecasts that demand for solid-state batteries in humanoid robots could grow thousands of times over the next decade.

Engine AI aims to make its PM01 robot the first humanoid astronaut.

Xpeng has completed its first robot prototype developed to automotive standards, marking a crucial step toward mass-producing humanoid robots this year.

The humanoid robot has replaced human workers in the testing processes before battery packs roll off the line, with its operation cycle matching that of skilled workers.

"Other companies in the West are weak," Musk said.

"Tesla's robot can't even do this -- how could Xpeng possibly make it?"

Xpeng aims to achieve mass production of advanced robots by the end of 2026.
