"Tech leaders are predicting an imminent revolution in the field of robotics, promising a future in which humanoid robots can leverage the power of artificial intelligence to help us out in our day-to-day lives, from folding the laundry to taking care of the elderly. AI chipmaker Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang even went as far as to prophesize, in January of last year, that the "ChatGPT moment for general robotics is just around the corner" in January of last year."
"The desire for a robot-dominated future is certainly there, from Tesla CEO Elon Musk arguing its Optimus robot could turn his ailing car business into the most valuable company in the world, with demand for humanoid robots quickly becoming " insatiable." This year's CES convention in Las Vegas was expectedly chock-full of companies showing off a variety of robots, from bipedal assistants designed to fold towels to battlebots that beat each other up in the ring."
Humanoid robots are envisioned to use AI for daily tasks, including folding laundry and caring for elderly people. Claims forecast a near-term 'ChatGPT moment' for general robotics and suggest large commercial upside for humanoid platforms. Trade shows displayed many bipedal assistants and novelty robots, emphasizing AI integrated with servo motors, actuators, and animated faces. Live demonstrations frequently experienced technical failures, with some robots failing simple household tasks and others reduced to preprogrammed martial-arts or dance routines. The present capabilities of humanoid robots fall short of reliable, broadly useful performance, leaving the timeline for practical adoption uncertain.
