Boston Dynamics is set to introduce its all-electric humanoid Atlas robot into Hyundai's manufacturing process this year. This adaptation of the erstwhile hydraulic Atlas aims to outperform human workers in picking and carrying heavy or awkward loads. While robots like Spot and Stretch are already in industrial use, Atlas represents a novel entry into the field of humanoid robots, which are expected to grow significantly in market size. Analysts predict that by 2035, the humanoid robot market could reach $38 billion, suggesting a shift not just in automation but in overall manufacturing practices, blending multitasking capabilities with existing procedures.
The robot is going to be able to do things that are difficult for humans, like pick up very heavy objects and carry things that are awkward for humans to carry.
Humanoid robots will represent a $38 billion market by 2035 - more than six times what the firm projected a year earlier.
The basic promise of humanoid robots is that they will be able to switch between multiple tasks, just like their human peers.
Jonathan Hurst expects its robots to sit alongside that process, not disrupt it.
