While waiting for other players to enter the fray, the humanoid robot war is already raging between the United States’ Tesla and China’s Xiaomi. From assembly line work to personal services, these robots could have very practical uses once they’re made operational.

Whether the Tesla Optimus or the Xiaomi CyberOne, these robots are the size (between 1.70m and 1.80m or 5ft 6in to 5ft 9in) and the weight (about 50kg or 110 pounds) of an average human, and can walk and move like a person.
