Many outlets are quoting Morgan Stanley analysts suggesting they’ll start at $150K. Here is a non-paywalled article that has some info about the MS claim: https://www.automotivemanufacturingsolutions.com/automation/hyundai-prepares-humanoid-robots-for-vehicle-production/2582616 https://www.automotivemanufacturingsolutions.com/automation/...
From the article:
Hyundai aims not only to use humanoid robotics but also to scale it industrially. The company plans to build a production system with a capacity of up to 30,000 robots per year. Analysts at Morgan Stanley Research predict the market for humanoid robotics to reach a volume of around five trillion US dollars by the year 2050. For the period around 2028, when Hyundai plans to start scalable production, a unit price of about 150,000 US dollars is expected.

- binary132 10mo ago$150k is about 2-3 manufacturing floor salaries for one year. I am quite certain many companies would prefer to buy a compliant robot slave that will never ask for a raise, take sick leave, or get demoralized than to pay 2-3 fulltime employees the value of their labor, only to have them leave for a better job 6 months later and have to train new ones all over again.
