What was said
"The fact of the matter is there's 140 humanoid robot companies developing hardware in China today. Morgan Stanley had originally predicted 14,000 Chinese robots coming out of China, and they've upped it to 26. Now they've just upped it to 50,000 and projecting 500,000 robots by 2030."
Chinese robotics company Unitree released the R1 humanoid robot at $4,900, making sophisticated robotics accessible at consumer price points for the first time. The price point represents commodity-level pricing that enables widespread entrepreneurial experimentation. Morgan Stanley repeatedly revised forecasts upward, now projecting 500,000 units by 2030 as 140 Chinese companies compete in humanoid robotics.
