Here's Why Tesla Is Now Diving Headfirst All the Way Into Robots, Solar, Robotaxis, and More
The Motley Fool· 2026-02-15 11:05
Core Insights - Tesla's core electric vehicle (EV) business is facing stagnation, prompting the company to accelerate the development of various side projects [1][4] - The company plans to diversify its offerings by adding solar panels, advancing robotaxi technology, and introducing humanoid robots priced between $20,000 and $30,000 by the end of 2027 [2][3] Electric Vehicle Business Challenges - Tesla's average per-vehicle production costs have decreased, but this has not restored the profit margins seen before the EV price wars that began in early 2023 [5] - The net profit per vehicle has dropped to just over $4,000 as of the end of last year, down from more than $10,000 in 2022 [6] - Competitors like BYD, Volkswagen, and General Motors have captured the growth in the EV market, leaving Tesla with stagnant sales [8] Market Position and Brand Perception - Tesla, once the leading brand in the EV market, is losing its appeal, which is concerning as over 70% of its revenue still comes from battery-powered vehicles [9] - The company is exploring new markets, including robotics and solar energy, but faces significant competition from other players in these sectors [14] Future Prospects and Risks - The potential for solar energy and autonomous taxis is significant, with projections indicating a $190 billion market for robotaxis by 2034 [11] - However, there are concerns about Elon Musk's history of overpromising on timelines, which could affect the development of new technologies [15] - Tesla's stock is currently priced at over 200 times the expected earnings per share of $2.06, indicating that the market is expecting high growth that may not materialize [16][20] Conclusion - Tesla appears to be shifting focus from its core EV business to explore new opportunities, which may indicate underlying challenges in its primary revenue stream [19]
哈佛大学顶刊发布“七十二变”软体机器手,提出旋转多材料3D打印新方法
机器人大讲堂· 2026-02-15 09:09
软体机器人,又迎来新突破! 凭借其独特的柔性和适应性,软体机器人在医疗、人机交互和可穿戴设备等领域的潜力早已不是秘密。但如 何 快速、高效地制造出结构复杂、功能可编程的软体机器人 ,一直是困扰着科学家们的难题。 传统的制造方法,如模具铸造,不仅流程繁琐、耗时,而且极大地限制了设计的自由度。现在,来自 哈佛大 学 的研究团队,给出了一套全新的解决方案。 他们提出了一种名为 旋转多材料3D打印(RM-3DP) 的全新制造范式,赋予了软体机器人堪比"七十二 变"的复杂形变能力,能够将复杂的内部气动网络直接"打印"进软体机器人的身体里,就像一次性为机器人 植入了可编程的"血管"和"肌肉"。 通过这种方法,他们不仅能制造出可以精确控制弯曲、扭转的纤维,还能打印出会开花的 "机器花朵" ,甚 至是一只能够独立控制五指、完成抓握动作的 "机器手" ! 这项重磅研究已发表在 材料科学领域国际顶级期刊 Advanced Materials 上。 01. 一根"管中管":旋转打印技术揭秘 这项技术的精髓,在于一个特殊设计的3D打印喷头和两种协同工作的"墨水"。 想象一下,打印机挤出的不再是一根实心线条 , 而是一根精巧的"管中管 ...

来源:科创板日报 今年春晚是史上机器人阵容最庞大的一次,已有松延动力、银河通用机器、魔法原子、宇树科技四家具 身智能厂商官宣"赶考"2026年央视春晚舞台。 去年宇树科技借春晚舞台实现品牌"破圈", 直接点燃了今年机器人企业"上春晚"的热潮。记者从知情 人士处获悉,今年不少机器人企业争相谋求组团登陆春晚,但最终仅有少数入围。 在快思慢想研究院院长田丰看来,多品牌具身智能机器人亮相春晚,更像是继2025年春晚之后又一次面 向全社会的"能力展示"。一方面,集中呈现了更多创新主体的涌现,体现出产业整体的加速发展;另一 方面,通过多样化形式展示人形机器人在运动控制、多机协同、人机交互及系统稳定性等方面的进步, 让公众更直观地感知技术成熟度的提升。 不过,对于人形机器人扎堆上春晚也有不同声音。有观点认为,机器人在舞台上的表现多为预设动作的 编排,缺乏实际应用场景的支撑,其象征意义大于实用价值。睿尔曼智能科技创始人兼CEO郑随兵表 示,对企业而言,真正的挑战在于能否将春晚获得的大量曝光和关注,迅速转化为清晰、可信的商业叙 事,也就是能够让机器人真正"用起来"和"用出价值",是关键所在。 赞助费或达亿级门槛 厂商仍竞相涌入 ...
