NVIDIA was one of the first gaming-oriented brands to implement artificial intelligence. The firm also carried out a test to see the benefits of adding generative AI into video games. The CEO of NVIDIA recently attended the CadenceLIVE Silicon Valley 2024 event where he made an interesting statement claiming that humanoid robots will gain immense popularity among the general population. He talked about the prices of these robots as well.
NVIDIA CEO believes humanoid robots will be more commonplace than expected
In an interview that took place in CadenceLIVE’s Silicon Valley event, the CEO of NVIDIA, Jensen Huang said that he expects the humanoid robots to become very common in the coming years. He further says that the increasing use of these AI robots will revolutionize industries and will change the way they work. Not only this, but more and more general population will also start using it.
The CEO indirectly predicted the price of upcoming humanoid robots as well. He says that we can get a cheap car for around $10,000 – $20,000 and we would be able to get a humanoid robot for the same price soon. For specific environments, he claims that getting robots over these cheap cars is much more sensible and versatile.
They are not going to be very expensive
If we look at the past trends, the prediction of the CEO isn’t totally wrong. Elon Musk previously said that their upcoming humanoid robot, the Optimus would be priced around $25,000. Do keep in mind that this is the first generation and the price is expected to decrease over time.
Many more industries will soon enter into the manufacturing of humanoid robots. This will increase the market competition and force the firms to price their robots very competitively. NVIDIA is also working on Project GR00T, which is going to be the basic model of humanoid robots, and if we consider the CEO’s comment, it surely will not have a heavy price.
