Sony Group Corp. claimed it has the technology to make humanoid robots quickly but would only invest in manufacturing them once it has identified how they could be effectively used.
Hiroaki Kitano, Sony's Chief Technology Officer, said they are among several companies that have the technology to swiftly make humanoid robots once it becomes clear which usage is promising.
He noted that Sony would invest in manufacturing only when deemed necessary, adding that while they see potential in humanoid robots, other forms of robots are important as well.
Humanoid robots have been in development for decades by Honda Motor Co. and Hyundai Motor Co.
In September, Tesla CEO Elon Musk showed off a prototype of its humanoid robot Optimus.
Tesla is floating plans to deploy thousands of those robots in its factories, expanding eventually to millions around the world.
