The race to bring humanoid robots into homes is heating up, with major tech firms betting on what many see as the next frontier in consumer technology. Tesla, Figure AI, and startups across China, the US, and Japan are all developing robots designed to handle domestic chores. With aging populations and labor shortages driving demand, humanoids are quickly shifting from science fiction to commercial reality.

Elon Musk said last year that Tesla’s Optimus robot will perform household tasks and could sell for $20,000 to $30,000 by 2026. Musk recently posted a video of Optimus vacuuming, taking out the trash, and cleaning with a brush and dustpan, highlighting Tesla’s rapid progress toward home deployment.

China’s growing elderly population is creating urgent demand for caregiving solutions. UBTech believes its new robot can help fill that gap. Government support adds momentum. President Xi Jinping has named robotics a top national priority, encouraging firms to scale quickly.
