Major automakers are testing humanoid robots in manufacturing despite significant technical and financial hurdles. Challenges like limited battery life, restricted dexterity, and high costs—ranging from $20,000 to $200,000 per unit—have not deterred companies from exploring their potential in production lines. The trials suggest growing interest in automation, even as practical obstacles remain. Industry observers will watch whether these early experiments lead to broader adoption or further refinement.
