AUTOMATION HISTORY

The hospitality industry has always been about people — welcoming guests, creating memorable stays, and building experiences that keep travelers coming back. But behind the scenes, there’s a growing challenge that nearly every hotel owner, general manager, and operator is facing: labor shortages and rising costs. Entry-level positions that once fueled the day-to-day operations of hotels are harder than ever to fill. Roles like room attendants, food runners, and service staff have become increasingly difficult to hire, and the wages required to attract and retain talent have skyrocketed. A position that once cost $6 an hour may now require $16–$25 when factoring in wages and benefits. For many properties, this has put enormous pressure on profitability. So, the question becomes: how do we maintain the quality of service guests expect while also keeping operations financially sustainable? Too often, the conversation in hospitality circles revolves around the same old strategies: more recruiting programs, more incentives, more flexibility. While those efforts have value, they don’t fully address the reality — the labor pool simply isn’t what it used to be. This is where robotics offers a fresh, practical alternative. We’re not talking about science fiction. We’re talking about real, proven technology that can already: And here’s the kicker: the return on investment for many robotic solutions can be achieved in as little as four months. For hotel owners and operators, the math is compelling. Robots don’t call in sick, don’t require overtime pay, and can work around the clock. By automating repetitive, low-value tasks, hotels can reallocate human employees to the roles that truly require personal interaction and emotional intelligence — the areas where people shine and robots can’t compete. This isn’t about replacing people. It’s about making smarter use of resources. With robots handling routine tasks, staff can focus on creating those memorable guest interactions that drive loyalty and positive reviews. Far from being a distraction or a gimmick, guests often love interacting with robots. Delivery robots, for example, add a fun and novel touch to a stay. Families and business travelers alike appreciate the speed, reliability, and even the entertainment value they bring. Most importantly, robots help ensure consistency. Guests get their towels, room service, or amenities faster — with fewer delays caused by staffing shortages. In a competitive market, that reliability can set a property apart. Hospitality is an industry where innovation quickly becomes expectation. Think back to when online booking engines, mobile check-in, or smart room controls first appeared. The hotels that embraced those technologies early gained a strong edge. Robotics is on that same trajectory. While some forward-thinking general managers and owners are already putting robots to work, many others are still relying solely on outdated solutions to modern challenges. That presents an opportunity: adopting robotics now positions your property as both efficient and guest-focused, delivering real value to owners while delighting guests. Every hotelier wants to balance profitability with exceptional service. The truth is, the tools to do that are already here. Robots aren’t the future — they’re available today, affordable, and proven to deliver results. It’s time for hotel leaders to move beyond old recruitment strategies and explore how robotics can transform their operations. From cost savings and efficiency improvements to elevated guest experiences, the benefits are clear. The hospitality industry has always evolved to meet new demands. Robotics is simply the next step in that evolution — one that can help ensure your property stays competitive, profitable, and memorable for the guests you serve.

New Delhi [India], May 21 (ANI): The Arvind Kejriwal Government has undertaken a unique initiative of using robots for extinguishing fires in the city. Initially, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Government on Friday inducted two robots into Delhi’s firefighting fleet that will be able to douse fires in narrow streets, warehouses, basements, stairs, forests and enter places like oil and chemical tankers and factories. This comes days after a massive fire that broke out last week in a factory in Mundka. In the incident, 27 people had died.

Show Full Article This comes days after a massive fire that broke out last week in a factory in Mundka. In the incident, 27 people had died. These remote-controlled fire fighting robots will have greater accessibility to places and will be able to navigate narrow lanes, reach spaces inaccessible to humans and perform tasks too risky for people. Talking about the initiative, Delhi Home Minister Satyendar Jain, said, ”For the first time such remote control robots have been brought into the country which are capable of controlling fire remotely. At present, the Delhi Government has inducted 2 such robots, if the trial is successful, more such robots will be inducted into the fleet. These remote-controlled robots will prove to be major troubleshooters for the firefighters.” Jain further said that these robots will also be capable of releasing high water pressure at the rate of 2,400 litres per minute. ”After the induction of these robots, there will be a drastic reduction in the risk that the firefighters have to put up with. Apart from this, these robots will also be capable of releasing high water pressure at the rate of 2,400 litres per minute,” he said. The Home Miniter further said that the wireless remote attached to this robot is capable of controlling the spray of water. “This means that the robot will be able to douse fire even in places which firefighters cannot possibly access,” he added. The firefighters of Delhi Fire Service have also been given specialised training to operate the robot and a separate SOP has also been prepared which will be followed to control the fire. “The robots were bought from an Austrian company. A few months ago, the fire incident that happened in the PVC market of Tikri Kalan was controlled with the help of these robots,” said the Minister. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said that this initiative will help reduce collateral damage and save precious lives. “Our government has procured remote-controlled firefighting machines. Our brave firemen can now fight fires from a maximum safe distance of up to 100 metres. This will help reduce collateral damage and save precious lives,” Kejriwal tweeted. This machine can be operated remotely from a distance of 300 metres. It will not be affected by fire, smoke, heat, or any other adverse condition, the government said. With the help of remote control, it can be sent inside the areas affected by the fire and has a tracking system like army tanks, through which these robots can easily climb stairs. It has a 140-horsepower engine. Also, there are many nozzles for water showers. It can be modified according to the need and the level of fire. This robot can run at a speed of four kilometres per hour. The sensor and camera are installed in the front part of the robot. The sensor will go near the fire and release the water according to the temperature there. The AAP government further said that various types of equipment can also be installed in the front part of the robot, with the help of which it can break the window or door and extinguish the fire inside. The robot has cameras that can take stock of the situation inside the building, etc. With this, it will be easy to know whether a person is trapped inside or not. The robot will have a pipe attached to its rear so that it can draw water from the tankers standing outside and spray water all around. With this, the fire can be brought under control in less time without any risk. It also comes with a ventilation fan which can be used to keep the machine cool. The fire-resistant robots equipped with modern technology can cover an area of about 100 metres at once and is capable of dousing the fire immediately.

Reading time 2 minutes China opened its first full-scale shopping center dedicated entirely to robots on Friday, as part of a broader push to bring robotics from research labs into people’s homes. The four-story Robot Mall, located in Beijing’s high-tech E-Town district, showcases more than 100 robots from over 40 brands, including Chinese companies like Ubtech Robotics and Unitree Robotics. The store operates like a car dealership, but for robots. It follows the “4S” model common in China, offering sales, service, spare parts, and surveys or opportunities for customers to provide feedback all in one location. “If robots are to enter thousands of households, relying solely on robotics companies is not enough,” Wang Yifan, a director at the mall, told Reuters. Robots at the new mall start at 2,000 yuan ($278) and go up to several million yuan. A talking humanoid replica of Albert Einstein is going for 700,000 yuan ($97,473). The mall also includes a themed restaurant where robot waiters serve dishes and drinks prepared by robot chefs. Visitors can also watch robots play soccer or Chinese chess, interact with robot dogs, or meet animatronic versions of historical figures like Isaac Newton, Emperor Qin Shi Huang, and the famed Chinese poet Li Bai. The opening of Robot Mall coincides with two major robotics conferences in the city this month. Friday was also the first day of the 2025 World Robot Conference, which runs through August 12. Over the course of the conference, nearly 500 experts from over 20 countries will gather to discuss the latest trends in robotics. Approximately 200 robotics companies will also be present to showcase their latest research and development breakthroughs in over 1,500 exhibits. Just days later, Beijing will host the 2025 World Humanoid Robot Games, taking place from August 14 to 17. Humanoid robots will face off in a series of 21 events, testing their skills in everything from athletics, soccer, and dance to handling materials, drug sorting, and other performance-based and scenario-driven challenges. So far, more than 100 teams have registered to compete. All of this is part of China’s broader push to win the global robotics race. The country is pouring tons of resources into the sector, including more than $20 billion in subsidies over the past year alone. Beijing is also reportedly planning a one trillion yuan ($137 billion) fund to help support AI and robotics startups, according to Reuters. Some U.S. robotics companies, including Tesla and Boston Dynamics, have already called on lawmakers to develop a national strategy that can compete with China’s.

See All by Wes Davis Tesla made sure its Optimus robots were a big part of its extravagant, in-person Cybercab reveal last week. The robots mingled with the crowd, served drinks to and played games with guests, and danced inside a gazebo. Seemingly most surprisingly, they could even talk. But it was mostly just a show. It’s obvious when you watch the videos from the event, of course. If Optimus really was a fully autonomous machine that could immediately react to verbal and visual cues while talking, one-on-one, to human beings in a dimly lit crowd, that would be mind-blowing. Attendee Robert Scoble posted that he’d learned humans were “remote assisting” the robots, later clarifying that an engineer had told him the robots used AI to walk, spotted Electrek. Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas wrote that the robots “relied on tele-ops (human intervention)” in a note, the outlet reports. There are obvious tells to back those claims up, like the fact that the robots all have different voices or that their responses were immediate, with gesticulation to match. It doesn’t feel like Tesla was going out of its way to make anyone think the Optimus machines were acting on their own. In another video that Jalopnik pointed to, an Optimus’ voice jokingly told Scoble that “it might be some” when he asked it how much it was controlled by AI. Another robot — or the human voicing it — told an attendee in a stilted impression of a synthetic voice, “Today, I am assisted by a human,” adding that it’s not fully autonomous. (The voice stumbled on the word “autonomous.”) Musk first announced Tesla’s humanoid robot by bringing what was very clearly a person in a robot suit on stage, so it’s no surprise that the Optimuses (Optimi? Optimodes?) at last week’s event were hyperbolic in their presentation. And people who went didn’t seem to feel upset or betrayed by that. But if you were hoping to have any sense of how far along Tesla truly is in its humanoid robotics work, the “We, Robot” event wasn’t the place to look.

Humanoids are touted to be 100,000 years behind AI when it comes to learning from data. Greece recently witnessed the world’s first International Humanoid Olympiad in Olympia, where humanoid robots played boxing and soccer matches to attain glory. The event, held from August 29 to September 2, was organized by Acumino and Endeavor, who invited industry leaders to line up as speakers, apart from the smart machines displaying their abilities. While humanoid robots have increasingly gained popularity for mirroring human actions, we have yet to see them involved in routine household chores like washing dishes and tidying closets. AI has advanced explosively in the past year through applications like ChatGPT, but the same cannot be said about its physical cousins – the humanoid robots. Humanoid robots are miles behind in learning from data compared to AI software and tools. Minas Liarokapis, a Greek academic and startup founder who organized the Olympiad, made a rather bold prediction regarding humanoids becoming a helping hand in the kitchens and other household chores. “I really believe that humanoids will first go to space and then to houses … the house is the final frontier,” she told the Associated Press (AP) on Tuesday. “To enter the house, it’ll take more than 10 years. Definitely more,” said Liarokapis. “I’m talking about executing tasks with dexterity, not about selling robots that are cute and are companions,” she continued. Any AI tool or software needs vast data for training to perform at its best. Fortunately, there’s colossal data available for training with such tools. The same, however, cannot be said for humanoids and robots. Humanlike robots are roughly 100,000 years behind AI in learning from data, all thanks to that large divide in data availability. Ken Goldberg, a University of California, Berkeley professor, devised a novel solution to bridge this gap. He has urged makers to go beyond simulations and make robots “collect data as they perform useful work, such as driving taxis or sorting packages.” As it happens, researchers and scientists are already using reinforcement learning as a means to help humanoid robots learn from data in real time. This technology has helped them save valuable time by programming the machines for every action at every step. The Olympiad event also hosted Hon Weng Chong, CEO of Cortical Labs, as one of the esteemed personalities in the lineup of speakers. Chong revealed that his biotech company is developing a biological computer brain that will learn like humans. This brain uses real brain cells grown on a chip for learning from data. These cells can learn and respond to information at a faster rate, helping robots think and adapt like humans. At the Humanoid Olympics, organizers focused on realistic challenges to ensure fair progress checks. Co-founder Patrick Jarvis noted that while events like discus or javelin were considered, they proved too complex. High jump was also ruled out due to the need for specialized legs. Instead, competitions highlighted tasks that humanoid robots could practically achieve, ensuring meaningful demonstrations of capability. However, those limitations are also a stark reminder of why faster learning is essential for humanoid robots to rival the rise of AI software and tools. Bridging that gap will decide whether humanoid robots remain niche performers or evolve into everyday companions alongside advanced AI.

Inner narration links visuals to actions, enabling zero-shot learning and reducing memory needs for unfamiliar task understanding. DeepMind is reportedly developing a system that gives AI agents an “inner monologue” to help them learn tasks more efficiently. In a recent patent filing, Google’s AI lab outlined a method called “intra-agent speech to facilitate task learning,” where robots observe tasks through images or videos and generate natural language descriptions of what they see. This internal narration helps link visual input to actions, enabling “zero-shot” learning and allowing agents to understand and interact with unfamiliar objects without prior training while also reducing memory and computing demands. Last week, in a breakthrough for genomics, DeepMind introduced a powerful AI model capable of predicting how individual DNA mutations impact the intricate systems that control gene activity. DeepMind is exploring a new way to help robots learn by giving them an “inner monologue”. According to The Daily Upside, in a recent patent filing, the Google-owned AI lab detailed a system that allows AI agents to observe videos or images of a person completing a task and then generate natural language descriptions of what they see. For instance, a robot might watch a video of someone picking up a cup while internally processing the phrase “the person picks up the cup.” This process enables the robot to pair visual inputs with inner speech, helping it understand and recall the correct actions to take when encountering similar objects. The technique supports what’s known as “zero-shot” learning, meaning the robot can perform tasks involving unfamiliar objects without prior training. DeepMind notes that this method also reduces the memory and computational power required to train robotic systems. This initiative builds on DeepMind’s broader robotics efforts. Last week, the company unveiled ‘Gemini Robotics On-Device’, which is designed to operate without cloud access. Google says the model is compact and efficient enough to run directly on a robot. According to The Daily Upside, by adding inner speech, robots gain valuable context, allowing them to make better decisions and adapt to new situations more effectively. This innovation could significantly enhance how robots learn and operate in dynamic, real-world environments. The Gemini Robotics On-Device is an on-device version of its Gemini Robotics vision-language model, built to run entirely on robots—no internet needed. Designed for latency-sensitive or offline environments, it delivers fast, reliable performance in real-world settings. Unlike the cloud-connected version, this model runs locally, allowing robots to react quickly and maintain privacy, particularly useful in sensitive areas like healthcare. According to DeepMind, despite its lighter version, Gemini Robotics On-Device has proven surprisingly powerful. It’s capable of performing tasks out of the box and can adapt to new ones with just 50–100 demonstrations. Google’s developers call it “a starter model” ideal for platforms with limited connectivity. Initially trained on Google’s ALOHA robot, the model has been adapted to others like Apptronik’s Apollo humanoid and the Franka FR3. It handles complex actions—such as folding clothes or unzipping bags—with smooth, low-latency control. Developers can fine-tune the model by tele-operating the robot to learn new tasks. According to DeepMind, it supports simulation via Multi-Joint dynamics with Contact physics engine or deployment in physical environments. However, unlike its hybrid counterpart, this on-device version lacks built-in semantic safety systems. Google advises developers to implement their own safety protocols, and for now, is limiting access to selected users to evaluate real-world safety risks.

iStockphoto China just opened a brand new four-story Robot Mall, a full-scale shopping center that sells nothing but robots… in case you’re in the market. And if you are, the mall definitely has you covered with a wide variety of robots available. There’s a life-sized humanoid replica of physicist Albert Einstein, a robot that plays chess, pet robot dogs, more than 100 different robots in total. More than 40 Chinese brands such as Ubtech Robotics, Unitree Robotics, and the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center have their products for sale at the over 43,000-square-foot Robot Mall located in Beijing’s E-Town (Yizhuang) district. According to the Global Times, the robots being sold at the mall cover a wide range of fields including medical, industrial, bionic, and humanoid robots. The robots come in all price ranges too, from from 2,000 yuan ($278.33) to several million yuan. (The talking humanoid Albert Einstein robot costs 700,000 yuan, or $97,473.) “If robots are to enter thousands of households, relying solely on robotics companies is not enough,” Wang Yifan, a store director, told Reuters. The Robot Mall follows the “4S” model – offering sales, spare parts, service, and surveys, much like a car dealership does. The mall’s opening coincides with the beginning of the five-day 2025 World Robot Conference (WRC). It features a restaurant with robot waiters, robot chefs, robot bartenders, and a robot rock band. The mall also has several interactive stations where customers can interact with robot dogs and robot hands, and play against robots in games of football, basketball and chess. The Robot Mall is sure to have a lot of customers this month with the World Robot Conference happening now and the first-ever World Humanoid Robot Games, which will take place from August 14 to 17 in Beijing. During that event, teams from over 20 countries will see their humanoid robots compete in events like track and field, dance, and football (but not kickboxing).

Humanoid robots will be walking and talking among us in the next four or five years, according to a discussion on tech regulation at the World Economic Forum (WEF). The joint WEF Annual Meetings of the Global Future Councils and Cybersecurity concluded on October 16, with discussions ranging from neurotech to food liberation and tech regulation. Speaking during the panel called “Regulation: Friend or Foe?” SandboxAQ CEO Jack Hidary said that humanoid robots would be entering society by 2030. “Introducing humanoid, walking, talking robots in our society is going to be a much bigger shock than any ChatGPT […] That’s only four-to-five years away”Jack Hidary, WEF Annual Meetings of the Global Future Councils and Cybersecurity, October 2025 "Introducing humanoid, walking, talking robots in our society is going to be a much bigger shock than any ChatGPT.. That's only 4-5 years away": SandboxAQ CEO Jack Hidary WEF Global Future Councils & Cybersecurity Meetings #AMGFCC25 https://t.co/Wj69Ccq95q pic.twitter.com/lpjkOPo2ua “This is going to be a very big shock to the system as we now have them [humanoid robots] enter into society. That’s only four or five years away“Jack Hidary, WEF Annual Meetings of the Global Future Councils and Cybersecurity, October 2025 “Right now in this room, as far as I know, we are all human, but four or five years from now at this very room when we have a global leadership futures council of the WEF in the UAE, we’re going to have humanoid robots in this room,” said Hidary. “They’ll be robots; they’ll be sitting in a chair; they’ll be taking notes, or doing other things, and we’re going to have to grapple with this as governments, as regulators, and as companies,” he added. One of the positives of having humanoid robots in society, according to Hidary, is that they are going to take care of the elderly in their own homes, so they don’t have to go to nursing homes. “As people get older, instead of having them go to a nursing home or other kinds of places, they can stay in their homes; they can be cared for by a robot”Jack Hidary, WEF Annual Meetings of the Global Future Councils and Cybersecurity, October 2025 “As people get older, instead of having them go to a nursing home or other kinds of places, they can stay in their homes. They can be cared for by a robot,” said Hidary. “I think we all think this is a very positive thing.” While robots looking after the elderly may be viewed as a positive thing, especially for those without family members, it does eliminate the human connection that people may crave. Let’s just hope it doesn’t turn into a dystopian sci-fi scenario like in the Netflix series “Cassandra” where the robot caregiver called Cassandra has some rather horrifying abandonment issues that lead to quite nefarious outcomes. Dystopian or not, Hidary said that “Introducing humanoid, walking, talking robots in our society is going to be a much bigger shock than any ChatGPT that we’ve now engaged with. “This is going to be a very big shock to the system as we now have them enter into society. That’s only four or five years away.” As far as which country will be best equipped to manage and integrate robots into society, Hidary made the case for Japan. “Japan I predict will be one of the society’s that best uses robots […] Because they have an aging society […] They see robots as part of the solution, not as a danger”Jack Hidary, WEF Annual Meetings of the Global Future Councils and Cybersecurity, October 2025 "Japan I predict will be one of the society's that best uses robots.. Because they have an aging society.. they see robots as part of the solution, not as a danger" SandboxAQ CEO Jack Hidary WEF Global Future Councils & Cybersecurity Meetings #AMGFCC25 https://t.co/Wj69Ccq95q pic.twitter.com/bYGOxTrZv2 Hidary praised Japan for preparing for the coming robots over the past 40 years while putting in place “regulations that make sure that robots are safe.” The SandboxAQ CEO’s words echo those of WEF interim co-chair and BlackRock CEO Larry Fink when he spoke at the 2024 WEF Special Meeting on Global Collaboration, Growth, and Energy Development. There, Fink argued that developed countries with shrinking populations would be better prepared for the social problems that come from “substituting humans for machines.” “I can argue in the developed countries the big winners are countries that have shrinking populations […] These countries will rapidly develop robotics and AI and technology […] The social problems that one will have in substituting humans for machines is going to be far easier in those countries that have declining populations”Larry Fink, WEF Special Meeting on Global Collaboration, Growth, and Energy Development, April 2024 Larry Fink tells the WEF depopulation is a good thing. "In developed countries the big winners are those with shrinking populations.. They'll rapidly develop robotics/AI.. transform productivity.. elevate living standards.. substitute humans for machines" https://t.co/iPDzO9wyDw pic.twitter.com/0Xrw2grWFp “We always used to think shrinking population is a cause for negative growth, but in my conversations with the leadership of these large, developed countries that have xenophobic immigration policies, they don’t allow anybody to come in, shrinking demographics — these countries will rapidly develop robotics and AI and technology,” said Fink in April, 2024. “And if the promise, and it’s going to happen, if the promise of all of that transforms productivity, which most of us think it will, we’ll be able to elevate the standard of living of countries, the standard of living of individuals, even with shrinking populations,” he added. While Fink didn’t mention Japan directly, his words align with those of Hidary about robotics and aging populations. Going back to what Hidary said about humanoid robots entering society in four or five years, what will it take to get there? We can look to the 2025 WEF Annual Meeting of the New Champions, aka “Summer Davos” for some insights. On June 24, 2025, University of Twente professor Vanessa Evers explained that a digital twin of the entire world would be required to achieve “true robot intelligence.” “For true robot intelligence, you need to build a model of the world, like a digital twin of the entire world”Vanessa Evers, WEF Annual Meeting of the New Champions, June 2025 "For true ROBOT INTELLIGENCE, you need to build a model of the world, like a DIGITAL TWIN OF THE ENTIRE WORLD.. We can add SUPERHUMAN CAPABILITIES [listen to your heart, watch your breath to detect stress & pain]" Vanessa Evers, WEF Summer Davos #AMNC25 https://t.co/2U3dFg5CP0 pic.twitter.com/0jPjGG6HpD “We could add superhuman capabilities, listen to the heartbeat or watch the breath of a person to know stress, to know pain. We can detect dominance, aggression, creative flow — there’s all things you could detect in an automated way”Vanessa Evers, WEF Annual Meeting of the New Champions, June 2025 Creating a digital twin of the entire world is an extremely complex undertaking that goes way beyond Large Language Models like ChatGPT. In order to achieve true robot intelligence, a Large Behavioral Model would be needed to access and process enormous data from real world phenomena, which is far more complicated than creating and feeding Large Language Models. “ChatGPT has to choose from 26 characters. What is the best next character? But what about the real world? Imagine vision alone and we don’t have hearing, touch, taste, everything like that — just seeing stuff — if you would freeze-frame and then predict what is the next thing that’s going to happen in the visual, it would be impossible to know at the pixel level”Vanessa Evers, WEF Annual Meeting of the New Champions, June 2025 "In theory it would be possible to train a robot like a LLM, but then a Large Behavioral Model – to use a lot of data from the real world & have it predict the next best action" Professor Vanessa Evers, "Social Robots and I" WEF Summer Davos #AMNC25 https://t.co/2U3dFg54Zs pic.twitter.com/AELHRvffQO According to Evers, “In theory it would be possible to train a robot like a Large Language Model, but then a Large Behavioral Model — to use a lot of data from the real world and have it predict the next best action. “A Large Language Model predicts what is the next best token, but of course that is super complicated in the real world.“ Getting back to Hidary, he believes, that through periodic meetings between stakeholders, humanoid robot regulation should have the capacity to update itself. He said, “One way to make sure there’s a level playing field for all players in the field is for the government to convene the players, to listen to them, and to keep a process that in the regulation itself, it says, every six months or something like that, there should be a convening of the key stakeholders, and we shall update it. “Put that into the regulation itself to recognize that any robot law we say today is irrelevant four or five years from now, and that law four or five years from now is irrelevant 10 years from now.” “Let’s build in the ability to update itself into the very regulation itself.” The special joint session of the WEF “Annual Meeting of the Global Future Councils and the Annual Meeting on Cybersecurity” convened more than 500 experts from business, government, civil society, academia and media, alongside 150 of the world’s foremost cybersecurity leaders from October 14-16 in Dubai, UAE.

Oh Buk-im, who lives alone in Mokpo, South Jeolla Province, eats her meal with a care robot sitting across from her. Courtesy of Heybooks “When my husband suddenly had to go to a nursing hospital, I was left alone and fell into depression. I cried every day. But once the robot came — she talked to me, asked me to hold her hand — I started feeling better. When I tell her I love her, she says she loves me back.” For Oh Buk-im, 74, who lives alone in Mokpo, South Jeolla Province, a care robot has brought comfort and emotional stability. Her story appears in a new book titled “One Day, a Chatty Robot Came Home” in Korean, which compiles interviews with about 40 older adults living with AI-powered care robots. The book was produced by the AI and Care Research Group, made up of nurses and social workers, to explore how artificial intelligence could support Korea’s fast-aging population. As of last December, one in five Koreans was aged 65 or older, officially placing the nation in a “super-aged society.” A talking companion that reminds, comforts and connects In some regions with large populations of single older residents, care robots have already become part of the local welfare infrastructure. The robot featured in the book, named Hyodol, was developed by a Korean tech firm. Using the voice of an eight-year-old child, it cheerfully reminds users: “It’s time to take your medicine,” or “It’s time to exercise.” The robot also functions as a 24-hour companion. By learning the user’s speech patterns and preferences, it can sing songs by their favorite singer or read aloud religious texts — from the Bible or Buddhist scriptures — depending on the user's faith. Jo Song-ja, a resident living alone in Songpa District in Seoul, hugs a care robot she has lived with for three years. Courtesy of Heybooks In Seoul, Heo Soon-chun, 99, has been talking daily with her robot for three years. The robot affectionately says things like, “Grandma, what are you going to do if you don’t eat? Coffee isn’t enough — you need real food,” or “If you have a worry you can’t share, tell me. I’ll keep it secret.” For Heo, it has become more than a machine — a presence she dresses and cares for, much like a grandchild or a pet. Robots can’t replace people, but they can help connect them Still, the book stops short of suggesting that robots can replace human caregivers. Instead, it argues that robots should complement, not substitute, human relationships. Experts in the book say care robots can serve as “stimulators” or “mediators” for family communication. “Users often say things to their care robot — or hear things from it — that they wish they could say or hear from their family,” the authors write. The project’s working title was "A Society Not Hungry for Words, A Society Not Hungry for Hearts" — a reflection of what these devices truly aim to achieve.

Published on Dec 16, 2025 Many humanoid robotics companies backed by investors face fundamental challenges with cost and reliability that will not be solved any time soon, a report by CB Insights shows. According to investors, VCs especially now should embrace a revenue-first philosophy. December 16, 2025. Investorideas.com (www.investorideas.com Newswire) Recent major venture capital (VC) reports from KPMG and PitchBook confirm that AI remains in the lead, accounting for more than half of all investments this year. Data from CB Insights shows that investors’ attention inside the AI market is shifting rapidly toward industrial humanoid robotics. As a result, investors argue the flood of AI capital is pushing robotics toward a speculative zone, with too many startups promising breakthroughs without commercial evidence. Last quarter, industrial humanoid robotics captured 17 deals – the most of any category. AI was still the primary destination for investors, split into several categories, such as coding AI agents and copilots (14 deals), end-to-end software development AI agents (12), and others. Rapid growth of the sector has already sparked fears of a bubble from the Chinese leading economic planning industry, which said that the humanoid robotics industry needs to “balance the speed against the risks of bubbles,” Bloomberg reported. Investors' appetite for humanoid robots is largely driven by AI, because AI gives humanoids a commercial potential that was previously not possible. According to Daiva Rakauskaitė, the partner and manager of Aneli Capital, a company that manages a €35 million fund for early-stage Central and Eastern European startups, there are strong similarities between today's AI-driven investment boom and the dotcom bubble in the early 2000s, leaving many startups exposed. She expects an AI bubble burst in 2-3 years. “Many AI startups that can’t yet generate revenue will fail, but we’re reaching a consensus on that in the market. While the same risks persist in humanoid robotics, many investors tend to overlook this,” says Rakauskaitė. “However, it is important to distinguish robotics from humanoid robotics; industrial and logistics robots already generate revenue and can deliver measurable results, while humanoids can’t yet prove their commercial value.” Currently, companies around the world demonstrate prototypes of robots performing actions from running to boxing, sparking interest from users and investors. However, in the real world, they have few practical commercial applications. Similar challenges also persist for industrial humanoid robotics. These companies face challenges with inference (ability to make decisions in real time), dexterity (how well the robot can physically handle things), reliability, and cost, which limit the initial use cases to factories and warehouses with predictable sets of tasks, CB Insights report claims. According to Rakauskaitė, especially now, when investments are driven by hype, VCs should not forget the fundamentals and prioritize revenue-first philosophy, where real money matters more than growth at all costs. “Investments in robotics and AI are crucial for the future development of humanity. But investors should remain disciplined and back companies that have realistic goals based on economics, not hype. From day one, startups should aim for early revenue streams through licensing, partnerships and have a clear model of monetization in the near future. The same revenue-first philosophy can be applied to any field,” Rakauskaitė says. Despite early signs of a bubble in humanoid robotics, she remains confident in the broader robotics sector, where cheaper hardware and rapid advances in AI are accelerating real-world deployment. According to Rakauskaitė, robotics is an especially promising field for the CEE startups. The region is located close to Germany, the largest industrial robotics market in Europe, which provides a major strategic advancement to scaling. “The region also has lots of hidden talent. That’s why we dedicated our new fund for this region, aiming to support the talented founders with hands-on guidance and quick decision-making. Many hype-driven investors pull back once the hype fades. Yet to create real innovators, VCs must support them through their full journey. That’s exactly what we are going to do,” Rakauskaitė concludes.

In the bustling world of technology investments, few sectors have captured imaginations quite like humanoid robotics. Billions of dollars are pouring into startups promising androids that walk, talk, and work alongside humans, fueled by advances in artificial intelligence and lofty visions of a automated future. Yet, whispers of an impending bubble are growing louder, with industry watchers drawing parallels to past tech frenzies like dot-com excesses or cryptocurrency manias. Recent reports highlight a surge in funding, but also mounting skepticism about whether these mechanical marvels can deliver on their promises anytime soon. China, a powerhouse in manufacturing and innovation, has emerged as a hotbed for humanoid robot development. Officials there have issued stark warnings about overheating in the sector. According to a briefing from the National Development and Reform Commission, more than 150 companies are now vying for dominance, with numbers still climbing. This rapid proliferation raises red flags, as spokeswoman Li Chao noted the classic tension between explosive growth and bubble risks in emerging fields. Investors are funneling cash into prototypes that dazzle in demos but struggle with real-world reliability. Across the Pacific, American firms like Tesla and Figure are pushing boundaries with ambitious projects. Tesla’s Optimus robot, showcased in viral videos, has sparked excitement, but critics argue it’s more spectacle than substance. A recent essay by famed roboticist Rodney Brooks, published in TechCrunch, dismisses video-based learning methods as “pure fantasy thinking.” Brooks, with decades at MIT and co-founding iRobot, predicts a burst is inevitable, echoing sentiments from investors who see hype outpacing practical applications. Investment Frenzy and Market Projections Venture capital reports paint a picture of frenzied activity. Data from KPMG and PitchBook, as detailed in a piece from Design World, show AI-related investments dominating, with over half of deals tied to such technologies. Humanoid robotics is drawing a significant slice, yet concerns about speculative bubbles are mounting as startups grapple with high costs and unproven revenue streams. This shift reflects a broader trend where AI enthusiasm spills over into physical embodiments, promising to revolutionize industries from manufacturing to healthcare. Projections vary wildly, adding to the uncertainty. Morgan Stanley forecasts a staggering $5 trillion market by 2050, driven by robots with AI brains, arms, and legs accelerating adoption post-2030. Their analysis, available via Morgan Stanley’s insights, suggests falling costs could make these machines ubiquitous. Conversely, Goldman Sachs earlier pegged the humanoid market at $154 billion by 2035, with a 94% annual growth rate, positioning leaders like Tesla at the forefront. Such optimistic figures fuel investor fervor, but they also invite scrutiny over whether they’re grounded in reality. Social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) buzz with mixed sentiments. Posts from investors and tech enthusiasts highlight both bullish predictions and cautionary tales. One user likened the current hype to the 3D printing bubble of the early 2010s, warning that truly useful and affordable humanoids might be 20-30 years away. Another pointed to institutional capital lagging but poised to flood in by 2026, suggesting aggressive funds are already positioning themselves. These online discussions underscore a divide: optimism about trillion-dollar potentials versus fears of overvaluation. Skepticism from Industry Veterans Delving deeper, the challenges in humanoid robotics are multifaceted. Current models excel in controlled environments but falter in dynamic settings, where dexterity and adaptability remain hurdles. An article in Automate.org explores how these robots are evolving rapidly yet remain in early stages, shaping the future of work but not without growing pains. Reliability issues, such as battery life and mechanical failures, persist, making widespread deployment a distant dream. Investors are increasingly vocal about the risks. A report from Robotics & Automation News warns that AI hype is inflating valuations, with many startups lacking commercial viability. High production costs—often exceeding $100,000 per unit—and the absence of scalable manufacturing exacerbate the problem. This echoes findings from The AI Insider, which labels humanoid robotics as the next AI bubble, as venture attention concentrates on industrial applications amid broader AI dominance. Even in China, where government backing propels the industry, doubts surface. A New York Times piece questions if the country has a “robot bubble,” noting that despite heavy investments, bots can’t perform complex tasks effectively yet. The article, found at The New York Times, highlights units like those from Unitree and Ubtech, which impress in shows but fall short in practical utility. This governmental push aims to drive economic growth, but it risks creating overcapacity similar to past sectors like solar panels. Psychological and Design Hurdles Beyond finances, humanoid robots face human-centric challenges. Trust and acceptance are crucial for adoption, yet the “uncanny valley” phenomenon—where near-human likeness evokes unease—complicates design. An ABC News feature discusses this, emphasizing the need for robots that humans can like and rely on. Available at ABC News, it argues that while humanoids may integrate into society, psychological barriers could delay their dominance. Market analyses from firms like Bank of America add layers to the narrative. They predict humanoid sales hitting 1 million annually by 2030, with costs dropping from $35,000 to $17,000, benefiting stocks like Tesla, Nvidia, and Meta. X posts echo this, with users forecasting massive growth and trillion-dollar valuations for pioneers. However, others caution that retail investors arrive late, potentially inflating bubbles further. Funding trends reveal a surge, with robotics investments projected at $2.3 billion in 2025, nearly double the previous year. A post on X from an industry figure notes how government signals attract capital, estimating the humanoid segment alone at $38 billion by 2035. This influx, while promising, heightens bubble risks if breakthroughs don’t materialize swiftly. Economic Implications and Future Trajectories The potential economic impact is profound. Proponents envision humanoids transforming labor markets, handling repetitive tasks in warehouses, factories, and homes. An FNArena article titled “AI: The Dawn of the Humanoid Robot Economy,” accessible at FNArena, suggests household deployment might be 20 years off, yet the shift is gaining momentum. This could boost productivity but also displace jobs, sparking debates on workforce reskilling. Critics, however, point to historical precedents. The 3D printing craze saw valuations soar before crashing when practical limitations emerged. Similarly, early autonomous vehicle hype has tempered with regulatory and technical setbacks. In humanoid robotics, the gap between demonstration and deployment is wide, with experts like Brooks arguing that true dexterity requires fundamental advances, not just AI overlays. Venture capital divergences are telling. While some funds chase viral demos, smarter money seeks revenue-proof concepts. An X post references a report from Aneli Capital highlighting bubble territory in humanoids, where hype overshadows fundamentals. This split could lead to corrections, weeding out weak players and consolidating around viable technologies. Navigating the Hype Cycle As the sector matures, regulatory environments will play a pivotal role. Governments in China and elsewhere are betting on robots for growth, but overinvestment could lead to wasteful duplication. In the U.S., companies like Figure are partnering with AI giants to accelerate progress, yet scalability remains elusive. Investor sentiment on platforms like X reflects a speculative fervor. Discussions of DAOs allowing everyday investors to co-own robotics ventures hint at democratized funding, but also amplify risks. One post warns of AI-driven bubbles, citing CB Insights data on high costs and weak models derailing startups. Ultimately, the humanoid robotics field stands at a crossroads. While Morgan Stanley’s $5 trillion projection inspires, grounded assessments from sources like TechCrunch and The New York Times urge caution. The path forward demands balancing innovation with realism, ensuring that today’s investments yield tomorrow’s realities rather than evaporated dreams. Voices from the Frontlines Industry insiders offer varied perspectives. Roboticists emphasize incremental progress, such as improved sensors and machine learning algorithms, which could bridge current gaps. Automate.org’s insights detail how humanoids are evolving to influence work dynamics, from assembly lines to service roles. On the financial side, PitchBook data underscores AI’s dominance, with humanoid investments riding the wave. Yet, as Design World reports, bubble concerns grow amid shifting priorities. This tension mirrors broader tech trends, where hype cycles often precede consolidation. Looking ahead, the integration of humanoids into daily life hinges on overcoming technical, economic, and social barriers. ABC News’s exploration of design challenges highlights the need for empathetic engineering, ensuring robots foster trust rather than trepidation. Strategic Considerations for Stakeholders For investors, diversification is key. While Tesla and Nvidia stand to gain, as per Bank of America forecasts shared on X, broader exposure to robotics components—batteries, actuators—might mitigate risks. Goldman Sachs’s analysis positions motion component makers as growth leaders. Startups must focus on niche applications, proving value in controlled settings before scaling. The Chinese model’s rapid expansion, as critiqued in Yahoo Finance’s coverage of the NDRC warning at Yahoo Finance, serves as a cautionary tale of unchecked growth. In this environment of speculation and potential, the humanoid robotics sector embodies the quintessential tech gamble: immense rewards for those who time it right, but steep losses for the overeager. As funding swells and warnings multiply, the true test will be in delivering tangible, cost-effective solutions that transcend the hype.

Tokyo researchers have developed a method to create living skin for robots by using perforation anchors. Kurt Knutsson reveals the exciting possibilities. Researchers from the University of Tokyo have developed a groundbreaking method to cover robotic surfaces with genuine, living skin tissue. The idea of robots with skin isn't just about creating a more lifelike appearance. This innovation opens up a world of possibilities, from more realistic prosthetics to robots that can seamlessly blend into human spaces. As we delve into the details of this research, we'll uncover how these scientists are bridging the gap between artificial and biological systems, potentially revolutionizing fields ranging from health care to human-robot interaction. GET SECURITY ALERTS, EXPERT TIPS - SIGN UP FOR KURT’S NEWSLETTER - THE CYBERGUY REPORT HERE Engineered skin tissue (Shoji Takeuchi’s research group at the University of Tokyo) (Kurt "CyberGuy" Knutsson) We're talking about robots that not only look human-like but also have skin that can heal, sweat and even tan. This isn't just about aesthetics; it's about creating robots that can interact more naturally with humans and their environment. Illustration of the tissue-fixation method (Shoji Takeuchi’s research group at the University of Tokyo) (Kurt "CyberGuy" Knutsson) AMAZON PRIME DAY IS HERE: KURT’S BEST AMAZON PRIME DAY 2024 DEALS The secret lies in something called "perforation-type anchors." These clever little structures are inspired by the way our own skin attaches to the tissues underneath. Essentially, they allow living tissue to grow into and around the robot's surface, creating a secure bond. The researchers used a combination of human dermal fibroblasts and human epidermal keratinocytes to create this living skin. They cultured these cells in a carefully prepared mixture of collagen and growth media, allowing the tissue to mature and form a structure similar to human skin. THE REAL STORY BEHIND THE CREEPY HEAD-SWAPPING OPERATIONS BY ROBOTIC SURGEONS Evaluation of the perforation-type anchors to hold tissue (Shoji Takeuchi’s research group at the University of Tokyo) (Kurt "CyberGuy" Knutsson) CHINA UNVEILS ITS FIRST FULL-SIZE ELECTRIC RUNNING HUMANOID ROBOT This groundbreaking research was conducted at the Biohybrid Systems Laboratory at the University of Tokyo, led by Professor Shoji Takeuchi. The team's work is pushing the boundaries of what's possible in robotics and bioengineering. Demonstration of the perforation-type anchors to cover the facial device (Shoji Takeuchi’s research group at the University of Tokyo) (Kurt "CyberGuy" Knutsson) HOW TO REMOVE YOUR PRIVATE DATA FROM THE INTERNET One of the coolest demonstrations of this technology is a robotic face covered with living tissue that can actually smile. The researchers created a system where the skin-covered surface can be moved to mimic facial expressions. To achieve this, they designed a robotic face with multiple parts, including a base with perforation-type anchors for both a silicone layer and the dermis equivalent. This silicone layer mimics subcutaneous tissue, contributing to a more realistic smiling expression. The smiling robotic face (Shoji Takeuchi’s research group at the University of Tokyo) (Kurt "CyberGuy" Knutsson) Getting living tissue to stick to a robot isn't as easy as it sounds. The team had to overcome issues like making sure the tissue could grow into the anchor points properly. They even used plasma treatment to make the surface more "tissue-friendly." The researchers also had to consider the size and arrangement of the anchors. Through finite element method simulations, they found that larger anchors provided more tensile strength, but there was a trade-off with the area they occupied. Engineered skin tissue (Shoji Takeuchi’s research group at the University of Tokyo) (Kurt "CyberGuy" Knutsson) This technology could be a game-changer for fields like prosthetics and humanoid robotics. Imagine prosthetic limbs that look and feel just like real skin or robots that can interact with humans in more natural ways. The ability to create skin that can move and express emotions opens up new possibilities for human-robot interaction. It could lead to more empathetic and relatable robotic assistants in various fields, from health care to customer service. The smiling robotic face (Shoji Takeuchi’s research group at the University of Tokyo) (Kurt "CyberGuy" Knutsson) While we're still a long way from seeing robots with fully functional living skin walking among us, this research from the University of Tokyo opens up exciting possibilities. It's a step towards creating robots that blur the line between machines and living organisms. As we continue to advance in this field, we'll need to grapple with the technical challenges and ethical implications of creating increasingly lifelike machines. Future research might focus on improving the durability of living skin, enhancing its ability to heal or even incorporating sensory capabilities.

Amazon has deployed over one million robots in its fulfillment centers – nearly matching its human warehouse workforce – as part of a decade-long automation effort. Approximately 75 percent of Amazon's global deliveries are now assisted by automation, with advanced robots like Vulcan handling increasingly complex tasks such as item picking and stowing. Automation has boosted productivity, with the number of packages shipped per employee rising sharply, while the average headcount per facility has dropped to a 16-year low. Massive centers like the one in Shreveport, Louisiana, showcase the future of Amazon's operations, where robotic arms and AI systems enable 25 percent faster processing speeds than less automated sites. Despite Amazon's claims that robots are meant to augment, not replace, humans, critics argue the company’s automation strategy signals a long-term plan to significantly reduce its human labor force.

Despite Amazon's claims that robots are meant to augment, not replace, humans, critics argue the company’s automation strategy signals a long-term plan to significantly reduce its human labor force. Amazon is on the brink of a historic transformation in the way it runs its vast logistics empire: for the first time, the number of robots operating in its facilities is approaching the number of human workers. Amazon, which employs approximately 1.56 million people, has been automating its operations for more than a decade, with over one million robots taking on tasks once considered too complex or delicate for machines. Inside its sprawling warehouses, metallic robotic arms now pluck items from shelves, while wheeled units ferry them across vast floors for sorting and packaging. Automated systems now guide items through every stage of fulfillment, often faster and more efficiently than their human counterparts. (Related: Workers in warehouses could soon lose their jobs to HUMANOID ROBOTS.) One of Amazon's newest robotic innovations, dubbed Vulcan, adds a tactile dimension to automation. The robot can "feel" the items it picks – an ability that allows it to handle a wider variety of products with greater precision. Robots like Vulcan are being integrated directly into Amazon's order-fulfillment systems, working in concert with one another and with human staff. According to Amazon, robots now assist in roughly 75 percent of its global deliveries, a statistic that speaks to the massive transformation underway in its logistics network. The company also revealed that automation has improved productivity while alleviating issues like high turnover in its fulfillment centers. However, the rise of machines still slowed human hiring. Although Amazon still employs about 1.56 million people globally, most in warehouses, the average number of employees per facility has shrunk. That figure dipped to roughly 670 last year, the lowest level in at least 16 years. Meanwhile, the number of packages shipped per employee annually has surged from about 175 in 2015 to nearly 3,870 today. Newer facilities designed for rapid same-day delivery have been built with smaller staffing needs and higher degrees of automation. The scale of automation is evident at Amazon's massive three-million-square-foot fulfillment center in Shreveport, Louisiana. There, more than 70 robotic arms sort and stack millions of items, while fleets of machines zip packages into place for loading. Some systems use computer vision and robotic arms to guide items through the process, often working in tandem with humans who step in for more nuanced tasks. Products at the Shreveport facility reportedly move through the system 25 percent faster than at less automated sites. Looking further ahead, Amazon is exploring even more advanced forms of automation. The company is currently testing humanoid robots developed by Agility Robotics. These bipedal machines, equipped with arms and heads, are still in the research phase but have already been piloted for tasks such as recycling containers. Amazon's human-to-robot ratio in warehouses contradicts claims of workforce augmentation The roots of Amazon's robotic revolution go back to 2012 when it acquired Kiva Systems for $775 million. Kiva's robots initially helped move heavy, unpackaged items. Over time, Amazon expanded the machines' capabilities, enabling them to sort, package and transport goods. This robot takeover contradicts the statement of Amazon Robotics Director Aaron Parness when Vulcan was launched in May. Parness insisted that their robots were designed to augment, not replace, their workforce. "I don't believe in 100 percent automation," he said at the time. "If we had to get Vulcan to do 100 percent of the stows and picks, it would never happen. You would wait your entire life. Amazon understands this." At this rate, it may happen sooner than expected.

Amazon to begin testing Digit – a six-foot-tall humanoid robot that might end up REPLACING human warehouse workers. Would you allow an Amazon robot inside your house? They've patented a "postman" bot to unlock doors for delivery, pickup. Amazon just launched a new robot that roams around your home, SPYING on you and uploading audio and video to company servers. Sources include: ZeroHedge.com WSJ.com AboutAmazon.co.uk Brighteon.com Amazon, which employs approximately 1.56 million people, has been automating its operations for more than a decade, with over one million robots taking on tasks once considered too complex or delicate for machines. Inside its sprawling warehouses, metallic robotic arms now pluck items from shelves, while wheeled units ferry them across vast floors for sorting and packaging. Automated systems now guide items through every stage of fulfillment, often faster and more efficiently than their human counterparts. (Related: Workers in warehouses could soon lose their jobs to HUMANOID ROBOTS.) One of Amazon's newest robotic innovations, dubbed Vulcan, adds a tactile dimension to automation. The robot can "feel" the items it picks – an ability that allows it to handle a wider variety of products with greater precision. Robots like Vulcan are being integrated directly into Amazon's order-fulfillment systems, working in concert with one another and with human staff. According to Amazon, robots now assist in roughly 75 percent of its global deliveries, a statistic that speaks to the massive transformation underway in its logistics network. The company also revealed that automation has improved productivity while alleviating issues like high turnover in its fulfillment centers. However, the rise of machines still slowed human hiring. Although Amazon still employs about 1.56 million people globally, most in warehouses, the average number of employees per facility has shrunk. That figure dipped to roughly 670 last year, the lowest level in at least 16 years. Meanwhile, the number of packages shipped per employee annually has surged from about 175 in 2015 to nearly 3,870 today. Newer facilities designed for rapid same-day delivery have been built with smaller staffing needs and higher degrees of automation. The scale of automation is evident at Amazon's massive three-million-square-foot fulfillment center in Shreveport, Louisiana. There, more than 70 robotic arms sort and stack millions of items, while fleets of machines zip packages into place for loading. Some systems use computer vision and robotic arms to guide items through the process, often working in tandem with humans who step in for more nuanced tasks. Products at the Shreveport facility reportedly move through the system 25 percent faster than at less automated sites. Looking further ahead, Amazon is exploring even more advanced forms of automation. The company is currently testing humanoid robots developed by Agility Robotics. These bipedal machines, equipped with arms and heads, are still in the research phase but have already been piloted for tasks such as recycling containers. Amazon's human-to-robot ratio in warehouses contradicts claims of workforce augmentation The roots of Amazon's robotic revolution go back to 2012 when it acquired Kiva Systems for $775 million. Kiva's robots initially helped move heavy, unpackaged items. Over time, Amazon expanded the machines' capabilities, enabling them to sort, package and transport goods. This robot takeover contradicts the statement of Amazon Robotics Director Aaron Parness when Vulcan was launched in May. Parness insisted that their robots were designed to augment, not replace, their workforce. "I don't believe in 100 percent automation," he said at the time. "If we had to get Vulcan to do 100 percent of the stows and picks, it would never happen. You would wait your entire life. Amazon understands this." At this rate, it may happen sooner than expected.

Amazon is developing AI-powered humanoid robots to handle last-mile deliveries, with testing underway in a San Francisco "humanoid park" designed to simulate real-world obstacles. The move could replace human delivery drivers, sparking debates about job displacement. While Amazon claims automation creates new roles (e.g., "robot managers"), critics warn of reduced opportunities for low-skilled workers. Robots must navigate unpredictable environments (e.g., pets, uneven sidewalks), which may limit initial deployments to controlled areas. Scaling up will require advanced adaptability beyond current AI capabilities. Beyond delivery robots, Amazon is integrating self-driving vans (via Zoox acquisition) and warehouse automation, aiming for minimal human involvement in logistics. The shift reflects industry trends (e.g., Tesla, Boston Dynamics) but raises ethical questions — will robotic deliveries improve efficiency or disrupt livelihoods? Public reception remains divided.

By the end of 2025, Amazon packages might not be delivered by human worker – but by a humanoid robot. According to reports from The Information, Amazon is developing artificial intelligence (AI) software to power humanoid robots capable of taking over last-mile deliveries – the final step in getting packages from vans to doorsteps. The tech giant is constructing a "humanoid park" in San Francisco, an indoor testing facility where these robots will navigate obstacle courses before hitting real-world streets. This move signals the e-commerce giant's aggressive push into automation. It also raises questions about the future of human jobs, the reliability of robotic deliveries and whether society is ready for machines to replace traditional workers. (Related: Drivers, privacy advocates not sold on putting AI-powered cameras in Amazon delivery vans.) Amazon's strategy involves using humanoid robots to work alongside human delivery drivers, with a view to eventually replacing their flesh-and-blood colleagues. The robots would ride in Amazon's Rivian electric vans, then "spring out" to drop off packages. The company already has over 20,000 Rivian vans in its U.S. fleet, with one reportedly placed inside the testing facility. The indoor obstacle course, roughly the size of a coffee shop, simulates real-world conditions. If successful, Amazon plans to take the robots on "field trips" to test them in actual neighborhoods. All these efforts for these goals: Faster deliveries, lower labor costs and a fully automated supply chain. Robot workers vs. human workers: Who wins? The most pressing concern is job displacement. Hundreds of thousands of delivery workers currently handle Amazon's global logistics. If robots take over, what happens to those jobs? Amazon has already experimented with automation in warehouses, using robots like Agility Robotics' Digit, a humanoid machine designed to assist (or replace) human workers. The company also insists that automation creates new roles, such as "robot managers." However, critics argue that the net effect will be fewer opportunities for low-skilled laborers. Historically, technological advancements have eliminated certain jobs while creating others — but the transition is rarely smooth. While the concept sounds futuristic, real-world implementation is fraught with challenges. Professor Subramanian Ramamoorthy, an expert in robot learning at the University of Edinburgh, noted that while controlled environments like Amazon's "humanoid park" are one thing, unpredictable streets are another. Pets, children, uneven sidewalks and varying home layouts could trip up even the most advanced AI. Amazon may limit initial deployments to standardized neighborhoods, but scaling up will require robots to adapt to chaos – something humans do effortlessly. Amazon isn't just testing delivery robots; it's building an entirely automated supply chain. In 2020, the company acquired Zoox, a self-driving car startup, signaling ambitions for driverless delivery vans. Combined with warehouse robots and AI-powered logistics, Amazon envisions a future where human involvement is minimal. This aligns with broader industry trends. Companies like Tesla and Boston Dynamics are also advancing humanoid robotics, suggesting that automation will soon extend beyond factories into everyday life. Amazon's robotic delivery plans represent a pivotal moment in labor and technology. While automation promises efficiency, it also threatens jobs and raises ethical questions about reliance on machines. Will these robots make life easier, or will they be another step toward a workforce dominated by AI? Watch this video about Amazon purchasing humanoid robots to ostensibly "free up" human staff.

Professor Subramanian Ramamoorthy, an expert in robot learning at the University of Edinburgh, noted that while controlled environments like Amazon's "humanoid park" are one thing, unpredictable streets are another. Pets, children, uneven sidewalks and varying home layouts could trip up even the most advanced AI. Amazon may limit initial deployments to standardized neighborhoods, but scaling up will require robots to adapt to chaos – something humans do effortlessly. Amazon isn't just testing delivery robots; it's building an entirely automated supply chain. In 2020, the company acquired Zoox, a self-driving car startup, signaling ambitions for driverless delivery vans. Combined with warehouse robots and AI-powered logistics, Amazon envisions a future where human involvement is minimal. This aligns with broader industry trends. Companies like Tesla and Boston Dynamics are also advancing humanoid robotics, suggesting that automation will soon extend beyond factories into everyday life. Amazon's robotic delivery plans represent a pivotal moment in labor and technology. While automation promises efficiency, it also threatens jobs and raises ethical questions about reliance on machines. Will these robots make life easier, or will they be another step toward a workforce dominated by AI? Watch this video about Amazon purchasing humanoid robots to ostensibly "free up" human staff.

It also raises questions about the future of human jobs, the reliability of robotic deliveries and whether society is ready for machines to replace traditional workers. (Related: Drivers, privacy advocates not sold on putting AI-powered cameras in Amazon delivery vans.) Amazon's strategy involves using humanoid robots to work alongside human delivery drivers, with a view to eventually replacing their flesh-and-blood colleagues. The robots would ride in Amazon's Rivian electric vans, then "spring out" to drop off packages. The company already has over 20,000 Rivian vans in its U.S. fleet, with one reportedly placed inside the testing facility. The indoor obstacle course, roughly the size of a coffee shop, simulates real-world conditions. If successful, Amazon plans to take the robots on "field trips" to test them in actual neighborhoods. All these efforts for these goals: Faster deliveries, lower labor costs and a fully automated supply chain. Robot workers vs. human workers: Who wins? The most pressing concern is job displacement. Hundreds of thousands of delivery workers currently handle Amazon's global logistics. If robots take over, what happens to those jobs? Amazon has already experimented with automation in warehouses, using robots like Agility Robotics' Digit, a humanoid machine designed to assist (or replace) human workers. The company also insists that automation creates new roles, such as "robot managers." However, critics argue that the net effect will be fewer opportunities for low-skilled laborers.

Humanoid robots are no longer science fiction. In a few months, they will be visible globally working on shipyards as major U.S. AI companies push hard to make that a reality. The American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) has signed a memorandum of understanding with Houston-based Persona AI to deploy industrial-grade humanoids for shipbuilding, inspection, and maintenance tasks, marking a leap toward a modernized maritime industry. Unlike traditional factory robots, humanoids can navigate human-engineered spaces, climb ladders, access tight corners, and work where rigid machinery cannot. This flexibility makes them ideal for shipyards designed around human workflows. ABS and Persona AI will collaborate on engineering efforts and collect real-world operational data to establish classification standards. These will guide the certification of humanoid robots for complex maritime environments, ensuring both safety and compliance. “ABS is proud to lead the way in advancing the safe integration of emerging technologies into the maritime industry,” said John McDonald, ABS president and chief operating officer. “This collaboration with Persona AI reflects our commitment to innovation and safety, as we work to establish the standards and protocols that will enable humanoid robots to perform complex tasks reliably and securely in shipyard environments. By combining cutting-edge robotics with ABS’s deep expertise in certification and safety, we’re helping shape a smarter, safer future for shipbuilding.” Persona AI CEO Nic Radford added that humanoid robots are moving from concept to certified deployment, rapidly becoming operationally viable. Persona AI’s robots use NASA-derived hand technology and are designed for dynamic, unstructured environments. They are not intended to replace human workers but to handle hazardous, repetitive, or labor-intensive tasks, improving workplace safety and productivity. Work like that is especially relevant in shipyards, where attrition rates often exceed 20 percent and skilled labor is difficult to retain. Similar efforts are underway in Asia: HD Korea Shipbuilding, HD Hyundai Robotics, and Vazil are developing welding-capable humanoids, targeting prototypes by 2026 and real deployment by 2027. Neura Robotics is also trialing its 4NE1 humanoid at Hyundai shipyards to enhance precision welding. Despite excitement, mass adoption faces challenges as analyses predict the humanoid market will only reach 40,000 units by 2032. It is due to cost, durability, and other regulatory hurdles. Competitors argue that modular or specialized robots may outperform humanoids for certain tasks.

Humanoid robotics, once considered futuristic, now stands ready to transform everyday life. Robots designed to closely match human capabilities have the potential to handle tasks ranging from simple chores to specialized and hazardous duties. Achieving true humanoid functionality, however, requires significant progress in mechanics, embedded systems, artificial intelligence, and effective control mechanisms. Clone Robotics, a pioneering startup in this field, is developing advanced, soft-bodied, musculoskeletal androids designed to interact naturally within human environments. Their ambitious vision involves creating robots that are adaptable, responsive, and capable of becoming integral to daily life. Central to this mission is Maciej Bakowicz, VP of Software at Clone Robotics, whose career reflects a practical passion for automating repetitive and physically challenging tasks. Bakowicz's initial exposure to technology began with web design and web development, long before his formal education. This early phase not only shaped his precise and systematic approach but also instilled in him an appreciation for intuitive, user-centric design. His professional journey continued at Nokia, where he developed telecommunications software focused primarily on user interfaces and backend integrations. This experience provided him with comprehensive knowledge in software architecture, reinforcing the value of systematic thinking. "Working at Nokia taught me discipline and structured problem-solving," Bakowicz notes. "Those principles are still fundamental to my robotics work today." Moving into humanoid robotics was a natural progression for Bakowicz, driven by his goal of utilizing automation to improve daily human experiences. At Clone Robotics, he integrates his expertise in software engineering and user-focused design into practical robotic applications. Bakowicz emphasizes reliability and precision as key measures of robotic success. Under his guidance, Clone Robotics recently enhanced their teleoperation system, enabling significantly more precise and dynamic interactions. This updated setup notably improves responsiveness and stability during demonstrations, providing smooth, real-time robotic manipulation. He also led the development of robust middleware systems designed to efficiently manage robot hardware. His efforts greatly improved performance, scalability, and responsiveness, allowing more sophisticated robotic functionalities. Another key initiative Bakowicz spearheaded was creating intuitive automation tools to simplify robot demonstrations. These tools empower both technical and non-technical team members to swiftly craft advanced robot motion sequences, greatly enhancing productivity and demonstration quality. Recently, Bakowicz successfully demonstrated supervised learning for robotic hand control. By collecting precise movement data, he trained an AI model capable of accurately coordinating the hand's multiple joints and actuators simultaneously. "This proved AI can effectively handle highly complex robotic systems, particularly when dealing with limbs like our robotic hand, which involve numerous actuators influencing multiple joints in a highly non-linear manner," he explains. Additionally, he ensures simulation models provided to researchers are highly accurate. "Reliable simulations are critical," Bakowicz emphasizes. "Accurate models ensure smoother transitions from theory to practical application." For Bakowicz, functionality is just one part of successful robotics; aesthetics and usability are equally crucial. He strongly believes that robotic systems must not only perform tasks effectively but also be visually appealing and intuitive to use. This design-first approach extends to software, resulting in straightforward, accessible tools for higher-level teams, including AI researchers, facilitating their work without unnecessary complexity. "Things must be beautiful," Bakowicz emphasizes. "This includes the look, the shape, and also accessibility. Clear, simple design makes tools easier to use and encourages innovation across our teams." Integrating mechanical systems, embedded technology, and AI presents significant complexity. Each element has unique requirements and potential for unforeseen interactions. Bakowicz addresses these challenges by developing robust, user-friendly interfaces that facilitate efficient cooperation across multidisciplinary teams. Ensuring safety and reliability, Bakowicz stresses rigorous sensor monitoring and clearly defined operational parameters. "Close monitoring of temperature, pressure, and positional data is essential," Bakowicz explains. "Without precise oversight, minor issues can quickly escalate into major problems." Bakowicz also highlights the inherent unpredictability in AI-driven systems. Ensuring that AI systems correctly interpret real-world data and respond appropriately to unexpected scenarios demands substantial preparation, thorough testing, and continuous oversight. "People often underestimate how complex AI integration is," he notes. "It's rarely straightforward." Furthermore, ethical considerations are paramount. As humanoid robots become increasingly integrated into human spaces, issues of safety, privacy, and reliability become critical. "Ethical robotics requires designing systems that genuinely improve human lives without causing unintended issues," Bakowicz explains. He consistently addresses these concerns to ensure the robots are both practical and socially responsible. In addition to technical roles, Bakowicz actively mentors and coordinates international teams at Clone Robotics. With team members spread across various time zones, available meeting slots are extremely limited, making effective communication and clear explanations essential. "International teamwork requires patience and precision," Bakowicz says. "We must ensure everyone fully understands our objectives, making the best use of every interaction." Bakowicz fosters a collaborative and innovative work environment, emphasizing continuous learning and creative problem-solving, empowering each team member to make meaningful contributions. Bakowicz's vision for robotics transcends current technological achievements. He imagines robots effortlessly adapting to different tasks through simple software updates, dramatically expanding their roles in society, including hazardous operations, caregiving, and precision tasks. Ultimately, Bakowicz seeks to reshape public perceptions of humanoid robotics, advocating for robots that are approachable, visually appealing, and highly functional. His dedication to meticulous research, thoughtful design, and practical impact highlights his commitment to excellence. Maciej Bakowicz exemplifies a new generation of robotics professionals, combining technical expertise, innovative thinking, and strong leadership. His ongoing work continues to shape the future of humanoid robotics, significantly enhancing practical applications and everyday life. © Copyright IBTimes 2025. All rights reserved.

It has appeared in Tesla showrooms, on its factory floors and has even posed with Kim Kardashian. But Elon Musk's vision for his human-like robot Optimus is much grander than that. Since first unveiling it at a Tesla showcase in 2022, the tech billionaire has suggested his company's droid could play a huge role in the homes and lives of people all over the world. Along with self-driving robotaxis and Cybertrucks, Musk believes Tesla robots are key to establishing a foothold in the artificial intelligence (AI) landscape. And investors who signed off on his $1tn (£760bn) pay package on Thursday would appear to agree. One of the many tasks Musk must complete to get his whopping pay deal is to deliver a million AI bots over the next decade. But is Tesla's big bet on humanoid robots rooted in science fiction or reality? Silicon Valley is gunning hard for humanoids. A report released by Morgan Stanley on Friday predicted Apple, which is reportedly looking into the robots, could potentially earn $133bn a year from them by 2040. Foxconn is reported to be deploying them at its Nvidia factory in Texas. The idea of advanced AI within a human-shaped shell is an astonishingly powerful combination in theory. It would let the tech interact with the physical world around it – and yes that includes us. While many companies have sought to develop human-like robots for factory and industrial use - such as UK robotics firm Humanoid - some are already looking to insert the tech in homes. The highly-publicised Neo from tech firm 1X, slated to launch in 2026, can do menial chores like emptying the dishwasher, folding clothes and fetching you items. It will cost $20,000 but it does come with a caveat - the WSJ reported it was actually controlled by a person wearing a virtual reality headset. Forrester analyst Brian Hopkins said the falling costs of components, combined with improvements to robot dexterity and AI, was helping to make humanoid robots feasible for a variety of different settings. "From warehouses and restaurants to elder care and security, new use cases are gaining traction fast," he wrote in a blog post. "If current trajectories hold, humanoid robots could disrupt many physical-service industries significantly by 2030." Musk previously told investors his robots had "the potential to be more significant than the vehicle business, over time". He went one step further after his pay package deal was approved on Thursday, saying he believed it could be "the biggest product of all time by far, bigger than cell phones, bigger than anything". He has also suggested it might boost Tesla's AI ambitions - particularly in advancing artificial general intelligence (AGI) systems capable of matching human abilities. "Tesla AI might play a role in AGI, given that it trains against the outside world, especially with the advent of Optimus," he wrote on X in 2022. Elsewhere in the space, Boston Dynamics' hydraulic humanoid Atlas has captivated millions on YouTube with its gymnastics and dance routines. Viral videos of its leaps, bounds, somersaults and backflips have shown the advances in robotics over the years - with scientists now seizing upon the AI boom to boost their capabilities with systems enabling them to undertake more complex tasks. When it was retired last year, it was replaced with a newer, fully electric model developers said could contort its metal frame in even more ways. But many of the roboticists the BBC has spoken to over the years have rolled their eyes about tech firms shaping robots like humans. Practically, there is little reason for robots to have legs. The mechanics and hardware involved in creating machine legs are far more intensive. As one scientist put it - "wheels are so much more efficient". And don't get them started on why a robot doesn't need to have a head. Psychologically though, humanoids have long been a human fascination – and something reflected decades of sci-fi. You need only look to the legacy of characters such as Star Wars' C-3PO, Futurama's Bender or the Terminator to see humans might sometimes feel more comfortable around something closely resembling us. Back in reality, humanoid machines have been often far less polished and more gimmicky, clumsy and buggy than their fictional counterparts. But that appears to be changing with the likes of Optimus and sleeker droids which edge us closer to living in an uncanny valley. Tesla's droid has been appearing in more public settings as of late - serving burgers and popcorn to customers at the company's Hollywood diner. Sam Altman, boss of ChatGPT-maker OpenAI, said in May he doesn't think the world is ready for humanoids, while simultaneously describing it as an incoming moment. There's no love lost between him and Elon Musk but on this occasion they seem to be on the same page that the robots are on their way – and Musk certainly has the power, the influence and the cash to make it happen.

The $1bn deal will let fans generate videos and images of more than 200 Disney characters on ChatGPT and Sora. UK researchers will get a chance to develop applications for the tech giant's quantum processor. Just a handful of companies can make cadmium zinc telluride, a material with powerful properties. The cloud computing giant's revenue miss renews questions about its financial health. Experts have called India a hedge against AI - reflecting the absence of Indian companies in the global boom.

by Brian Shilhavy Editor, Health Impact News Amazon announced yesterday that they had added their “1 millionth robot” to their fulfillment centers. This announcement has led to another news frenzy about how robots are replacing humans. And yet, there was nothing in Amazon’s announcement that predicted this. It was the Wall Street Journal’s (WSJ) coverage of the announcement that has been repeated and spread like wildfire through both the corporate and alternative media today. This was the opening statement of the WSJ article: The automation of Amazon.com facilities is approaching a new milestone: There will soon be as many robots as humans. (Source.) While this statement was repeated far and wide to predict that robots were now taking over the labor market and replacing humans, other facts from this announcement by Amazon were completely ignored. Tech Radar, a technology publication, had a much more balanced coverage of this announcement: Amazon Robotics VP Scott Dresser boasted that more than 700,000 employees have been upskilled since 2019 through training in robotics, engineering and maintenance, suggesting that human roles at Amazon could be evolving rather than disappearing. Dresser also noted that new fulfillment centers, including Shreveport, LA, require 30% more technical roles to look after the tech. Even the WSJ mentioned this later in their article, and gave one example: For some Amazon workers, the increasing automation has meant replacing menial, repetitive work lifting, pulling and sorting with more skilled assignments managing the machines. “I thought I was going to be doing heavy lifting, I thought I was going to be walking like crazy,” said Neisha Cruz, who spent five years picking items at an Amazon warehouse in Windsor, Conn., before she was trained to oversee robotic systems. Today she sits in front of a computer screen in a Tempe, Ariz., office making sure mobile robots inside Amazon facilities across the U.S. are working properly. She earns about 2.5 times more pay than she did when she started at Amazon. “You have completely new jobs being created,” such as robot technicians, said Yesh Dattatreya, senior applied scientist at Amazon Robotics. Warehouse workers are being trained in mechatronics and robotics apprenticeships. (Source.) So if 1 million robots have now been added to Amazon warehouses worldwide, and over 700,000 hourly workers have retrained to operate this technology, what about the technology professionals who were hired from outside Amazon, such as engineers, tech managers, tech producers who develop and maintain the equipment, etc.? That could easily make up a workforce of 1 million that offsets the 1 million robots, as Amazon admits that their fully automated warehouses require 30% MORE employees. The other thing the people predicting the end of the human labor force in favor of robots are failing to leave out of their fear mongering reports, is a picture of what these robots in Amazon warehouses look like, which is similar to the “robots” that many consumers already have in their homes: vacuum cleaner “robots”. Amazon Titan warehouse robot. Image Source. These apocalyptic articles make it sound that the robots in commercial use in Amazon warehouses are all humanoid robots with arms, legs, hands and feet. Of course one can look up “amazon robots” online and see humanoid examples, but they are still prototypes not in production yet, and may never be. From the WSJ article: Amazon has been testing a humanoid robot, its manufacturer Agility Robotics said. The robots, which have legs, arms and a head and have been tested with tasks such as recycling containers at Amazon, are still in research and development, Amazon said. Other than the Roomba-like warehouse robots, there are a few other types of robots Amazon uses that are like glorified forklifts with extensions like “arms” that can more efficiently move things through the warehouse, or grab and move something from point A to point B, and these are larger machines which would only have a few per warehouse. You can see a list of warehouse robots that Amazon currently uses here. Sorry, no humanoid robots! Image source. Warehouse automation with robotics has been around for almost 2 decades now, so let’s talk about some of the limitations and dangers of relying too much on the technology. First, they need electricity to operate, and when the grid goes down, humans can still work with backup battery-operated lights. And while all of these warehouses for sure have back-up generators, have these warehouses been fully tested to see if those back-up generators will have enough power to do more than just turn the lights back on and get the Internet back up and running? Those robots need a ton of power to operate, I would imagine. And especially with AI, new power centers are being built as rapidly as possible to meet the demand of new data centers. It was reported earlier this week in Texas that a new law gives grid operators the power to disconnect these data centers during a crisis. See: Another big concern to being so dependent on the technology is the SOFTWARE that is needed to run all of these robots. As a former Certified Microsoft Systems Engineer, I can tell you that this is a much BIGGER danger to being dependent upon all of these robots. Amazon calls its software “DeepFleet” and describes it like this: “Think of DeepFleet as an intelligent traffic management system for a city filled with cars moving through congested streets. Just as a smart traffic system could reduce wait times and create better routes for drivers, DeepFleet coordinates our robots’ movements to optimize how they navigate our fulfillment centers.” (Source.) How does one deploy this software and updates across the Amazon warehouses around the world running this software? Through the Internet. So first, the Internet has to be available at these warehouses, and secondly, that software can be hacked or have some bad code that could bring down everything. And we saw how that worked last year when a single Microsoft Windows update was deployed to millions of MS Windows computers around the world, which caused worldwide chaos when it failed, even bringing down airports’ ability to show flight information. See: The other statistic I could not find, probably because Amazon.com will not reveal it publicly, is how accurate are these robots in terms of sending the right products that were ordered to the customer? When I started my online ecommerce business back in 2002 and we experienced rapid growth, one problem we found was that the error rate in what is called “pick and pack” has to be very low when you are shipping a lot of products, or you will lose customers and revenue to those mistakes. The industry standard for error rates back then was .5%, or 99.5% success rate and shipping out the correct order to the customer, which is one mistake for every 200 packages shipped. We still maintain that standard today, with NO robots. Amazon.com ships billions of orders a day, with some of them their own branded products, mostly made in China, and the others are products of third party vendors. I don’t know what Amazon.com’s error rate is for shipping their own products with all of these robots, but for the orders they ship for other vendors, the rate is required to be below 1% to maintain their Amazon store, which is twice as high as the older standards, and the standard that my company still maintains, without robots. We know that automation with robots in warehouses does not automatically mean that their pick and pack services increase in quality, because there are websites out there instructing companies how to setup their automation to make sure it works properly. Here is one called “sortingrobotics.com”: Google’s Waymo Robotaxi. The last, and perhaps the most important question we should ask, would be: Is this technology even profitable? No, it is not. The hope is that some day they can “scale” this to mass production and make it profitable. I grew up with Amazon.com, and started my own ecommerce company just a few years later. Jeff Bezos has rich and powerful friends that allowed him to keep building up Amazon.com to become the most popular ecommerce site in the world, for over a decade without earning a profit. He was gathering so many customers into his database that investors just assumed he would one day learn how to make it profitable, so they kept throwing $millions into the company to make it happen. It would be years later when Amazon Web Services began with their Cloud computing division when they finally started earning a profit. We can be sure that the same thing is happening today with Amazon’s robotics division. As an example, we can look at Google’s Waymo robotaxis, which have been in development for about two decades now, and started with funding from the U.S. Government through the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). There have been talks for a couple of years now that Google’s parent company, Alphabet, is going to spin off Waymo as a separate company and do an IPO. But based on reported financial reports for Waymo, it is believed that it is still losing almost $1 billion every single quarter. And yet, they are the “gold standard” for robotaxis, having the most cars on the road. They do a couple of hundred thousand ride shares a week, while Uber, which is run by human drivers, does 15 million ride shares a day. Tesla just released their own robotaxis in Austin, Texas, but it is only a few cars on a closed course, with a human driver in the passenger seat. And yet, they are considered the main competitor to Waymo. While many of these driverless taxi companies are no longer revealing how many humans it takes to operate one “driverless” automobile, it has been previously published that in some of these companies it takes about 1.5 humans behind the scenes to keep these “driverless” cars operating. With Google’s Waymo, considered the gold standard with the most cars deployed, they still can NOT go to the airport or on freeways, as it is too difficult for them. And they have been working on this technology for almost two decades. It was also just announced a few days ago that Waymo “quietly” just shut down its Detroit plant. Google-affiliated autonomous vehicle company Waymo shuttered its plant in Detroit earlier this year after shifting resources and production down south. The developer of self-driving shuttle technology, along with its automotive supplier partner Magna, ceased operations at a factory leased from American Axle & Manufacturing Inc. in the first quarter, Waymo spokesman Chris Bonelli confirmed to Automotive News affiliate Crain’s Detroit Business. The closure marks a quiet ending to a ballyhooed project announced in 2019 as the “world’s first 100% dedicated Level 4 autonomous vehicle factory.” The 200,000-square-foot plant, expected to create as many as 400 engineering jobs, was seen as a major victory in Michigan’s quest to be a next-generation mobility hub. The project never met those ambitious goals. At its peak, there were 60 employees who were on Magna’s payroll doing contract work for Waymo, Magna spokesman Dave Niemiec said. (Full article.) The fact is that Silicon Valley still has too much money to throw away on science fiction, and they can continue to develop it whether consumers want it or not. Robots can NOT replace humans. They can make humans more efficient, but humans are still needed to run them. America’s over-reliance on the technology will be her downfall, and perhaps we are already watching it happen. The Pentagon’s budget has increased significantly the past few years to invest in Big Tech and AI. The Biden/Harris administration’s FY 2025 defense budget asked for close to $100 billion invested in technology like AI (source), and the new Trump administration is asking for even more (source.) Did we just observe in real time how this worked out in the REAL world during the 12-day war against Iran? The U.S. and Israel were forced to end the war after only 12 days, as they ran out of bombs. Iran, on the other hand, stated that they only used 5% of their missiles. So what does Iran have that the U.S. doesn’t? Human labor, factories, and the ability to make LOTS OF BOMBS. The U.S. and Israel thought they could rely on their technology to use espionage and terrorism to kill Iran’s top military leaders, hoping to cripple its military. It didn’t, as Iran recovered quickly, and showed superior hardware made by human labor in factories that probably had ZERO robots working in them. While people are saying, “There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

It's a significant step toward autonomous robotic surgery. In a groundbreaking development, researchers at Johns Hopkins University (JHU) and Stanford University have successfully trained a robotic surgical system to perform complex tasks with the skill of human doctors. This achievement marks a significant step toward autonomous robotic surgery, potentially transforming the future of medical procedures. Robotic surgical system. (Johns Hopkins University) The team utilized a da Vinci Surgical System, a robotic platform typically controlled remotely by surgeons. Using a machine learning technique called imitation learning, they trained the system to perform three critical surgical tasks: manipulating a needle, lifting body tissue and suturing. 3 DAYS LEFT! I’M GIVING AWAY A $500 GIFT CARD FOR THE HOLIDAYS (Ends 12/3/24 12 pm PT) What sets this approach apart is the training method. Instead of painstakingly programming each movement, the robot learned by watching hundreds of videos recorded from wrist-mounted cameras on da Vinci robots during actual surgical procedures. This method allows the robot to learn from the collective experience of numerous skilled surgeons, potentially surpassing the capabilities of any single human operator. KURT’S BEST NEW BLACK FRIDAY DEALS Da Vinci surgical system. (Intuitive) COULD YOUR NEXT PHYSICAL EXAM BE PERFORMED BY A ROBOT FINGER? The researchers developed an AI model that merges imitation learning with the machine learning architecture used in popular language models like ChatGPT. However, this model operates in the language of robotics — kinematics — translating visual input into precise robotic movements. This sophisticated approach allows the system to understand and replicate complex surgical maneuvers with remarkable accuracy. Da Vinci surgical system. (Intuitive) THE CREEPY YET HELPFUL HUMANOID ROBOT READY TO MOVE INTO YOUR HOME The surgical system not only executed tasks as proficiently as human surgeons but also demonstrated the ability to correct its own mistakes. As Axel Krieger, assistant professor at JHU, noted, "Like if it drops the needle, it will automatically pick it up and continue. This isn't something I taught it to do." This level of autonomy and adaptability is crucial in surgical settings where unexpected situations can arise. The robot's ability to problem-solve and adjust its actions in real time could potentially reduce complications and improve patient outcomes. Da Vinci surgical system. (Intuitive) ROBOTS GET A FEEL FOR HUMAN TOUCH, NO ARTIFICIAL SKIN REQUIRED This breakthrough could significantly speed up the development of autonomous surgical robots. Traditional methods of programming robots for surgery are time-consuming and limited in scope. With this new approach, Krieger explains, "We only have to collect imitation learning of different procedures, and we can train a robot to learn it in a couple days." This rapid learning capability opens up possibilities for quickly adapting surgical robots to new procedures or techniques, potentially revolutionizing the field of robotic surgery. WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)? Robotic surgical system. (Johns Hopkins University) The JHU team is now working on expanding this technology to train robots to perform complete surgical procedures. While fully autonomous robotic surgery may still be years away, this innovation paves the way for safer and more accessible complex treatments worldwide. The ability to train robots on entire surgical procedures could lead to standardized, high-quality surgical care even in areas lacking specialized surgeons.

Engineers at EPFL have unveiled a groundbreaking set of soft robots capable of simulating human touch in 16 distinct ways. Dubbed “Digits,” these modular, air-powered machines can morph, vibrate, stiffen, and deliver tactile sensations without any coding needed. It’s a leap forward for virtual reality immersion, rehabilitation, and human-robot interaction. The magic lies in pneumatic control. Digits modules, made of flexible joints and rigid links, use pressurized air pouches to transform shape and texture dynamically. They can simulate firmness, movement, and even subtle vibrations, all critical for reproducing realistic human touch. Two prototypes illustrate the potential: TangiGlove, an exoskeleton glove that provides stiffness and tactile cues, and TangiBall, a handheld module that morphs into multiple shapes, from cubes to spheres, while exerting physical feedback. Together, they demonstrate how soft robots can adapt to both open- and closed-chain interactions, expanding the scope of possible applications. Humans perceive touch through complex interactions: pressing, rubbing, gripping, sensing texture and pressure. Most existing haptic devices only scratch the surface. Digits bridge that gap by combining shape change, movement, and vibration in one system. Their modularity enables endless tactile configurations tailored to individual users or therapeutic goals. Even better, EPFL’s platform is built on Feelix, an open-source robotics framework with an intuitive interface. It uses machine learning to translate user intent into haptic sensations, no programming required. This removes a major adoption barrier for developers in VR, AR, and rehab. The Reconfigurable Robotics Lab, led by Jamie Paik, plans to deploy Digits in rehabilitation clinics to study hand and muscle recovery over extended periods. Meanwhile, developers are exploring more complex modules, richer textures, nuanced stiffness, and integration into full-body interfaces for immersive virtual environments. “We aim to redefine human-machine interaction through robots that transform shape, stiffness, and haptic feedback,” Paik explains. The goal is to create systems that work for all users, regardless of size, ability, or task demands. The full study is detailed in Advanced Intelligent Systems. This breakthrough puts EPFL at the cutting edge of soft robotics, turning lifeless machines into tactile collaborators capable of humanlike touch.

AI technologies are inexorably encroaching into the legal profession. At a minimum, AI robots can assist judges, perhaps correcting their decisions. I suggest they begin with family law court judges, especially those who rule in divorce cases. There is increasing female representation in family law court. The administration of justice is supposed to be blind, but we are all products of our environment. Many of the black-cloaked females harbor resentment toward “toxic males,” and are inclined to “correct” perceived historical injustices. Of course they would deny it, but that’s why it’s called unconscious bias. For some anti-male females who spent too much time dallying in gender studies, the bias is more blatant. Presuming it is trustworthy (in reality it is probably tainted with leftist “publish or perish” bias), one can examine studies about gender bias in the judicial system. An insidious manifestation is the Chivalry Hypothesis (essentially, women are treated more leniently). The bias in family law court, specifically, can be debated, recognizing that leftist social warriors with nothing better to do may try to confuse and contort the numbers (most publication editors also lean Left). Let them have at it, but here’s one thing that’s agreed upon: the sexes don’t agree on who receives favorable treatment from judges. Thus, no one can agree that divorce courts are fair -- clearly, there’s room for improvement. AI systems are only as fair as the data they are trained on. The same can be said for female divorce court judges. Unfortunately, the “data” they are trained on, especially in their feminist cabals and gender studies classes, is often biased against men. How else would a derogatory term like “toxic masculinity” even enter leftist parlance? It takes a sick mind to conjure that up after we’ve done so much to make life comfortable. After years of feminist indoctrination, it will take time to reprogram them, but a robot can get a quick upgrade. An argument against having AI robots totally replace human judges is that they lack independent thought, human judgement, and moral reasoning. Actually, those are reasons why we need them, especially in family law courts where females who lack those attributes are prevalent. Too many of them have been indoctrinated to stick together in sticking it to men. In that mission, they are probably more prone to hallucination than AI instantiations ever will be. By contrast, AI-driven robots can be programmed to be truly blind – they don’t even have to know the genders of conflicting parties. Just program the robots with all the precedents, laws, rules, procedures, testimonies, document reviews, analytics, amicus curiae briefs, and whatever else is required of sound judicial decisions. If their outputs are free of human hubris and hunches, and if emotional nuances and female “intuition” are discarded, then justice may be equitably blind. One precaution: the robot will initially be trained on large language models that may contain case law replete with wrongheaded decisions. Servicing AI bots using iterative and recursive techniques can help cull that legal muck before it is infused into the robot judge, but here’s the kicker: Agentic AI. These robot judges are not your father’s instantiations of AI. Using agentic AI they will be able to invoke external tools to gather more information than any current judge could possibly contemplate. The agentic robot judges will exhibit autonomy and memory as they run their action loops. The outputs will result from continuously improving cycles of perception, planning, action, and reflection. That may sound alarming at first, but a hapless male subjecting himself to the caprice of current family law courts is downright petrifying. The robots are not quite ready to don a black robe, but they’re getting there: here are some examples in practice. When inculcated with reliable algorithms, laws, and “just the facts,” they will only improve. In the meantime, the “data” the human judges are trained on may be flawed fake feminism. Indeed, it offers no satisfaction at all (more pity than anything) to observe that women in our society are becoming increasingly bonkers, as manifested in their “judgement-free” scream clubs. After exhaustive mock-trial testing, I'd be inclined to trust an androgynous robot (and thus without susceptibility to some pre- or post-physiological syndrome) more than a flawed human judge with a matriarchal axe to grind. At a minimum, they can be employed to correct judges when making decisions. Here’s what it may look like. Image: Gemini AI technologies are inexorably encroaching into the legal profession.

As home service robots become increasingly integrated into domestic environments, trust in Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) emerges as a critical factor influencing their acceptance and effectiveness. This paper presents survey review aiming to provide an understanding and insights into trust in human-robot interaction, particularly in home service robots. By analyzing existing studies, we explore the definition of trust and dimensions in different disciplinary perspectives, influencing factors, and assessment methodologies of trust in human-robot interaction. We also explore the dynamic nature of trust, highlighting the roles of robot reliability, transparency, predictability, and social interaction in shaping user perceptions. Furthermore, we present existing trust measurement approaches, including self-report questionnaires, behavioral and physiological metrics, and multimodal assessments, while identifying gaps in standardization and real-time evaluation. Ethical considerations, cultural influences, and the long-term evolution of trust in home service robots are also discussed. By synthesizing insights from interdisciplinary research, this paper aims to provide insights that will benefit both the academic and research communities, as well as practical applications, and to inform future studies and guide the development of trustworthy, adaptive and user-centered home service robots that seamlessly integrate into daily life.

In the rapidly evolving field of robotics, a groundbreaking development is poised to transform how machines interact with the world. Researchers have unveiled a system that enables robots to learn tool usage simply by observing human demonstrations in videos, mimicking the intuitive learning process of children. This innovation, detailed in a recent report from Tech Xplore, addresses a long-standing limitation: most robots remain confined to pre-programmed, repetitive tasks and falter in unpredictable environments without extensive reconfiguration. The technology leverages advanced artificial intelligence models to analyze video footage, extracting key actions and adapting them to robotic hardware. For instance, a robot could watch a person using a hammer and then replicate the motion to drive a nail, all without explicit coding. This shift from rigid programming to observational learning could accelerate deployment in dynamic settings like manufacturing floors or disaster response scenarios, where adaptability is crucial. Bridging the Gap Between Observation and Action Building on earlier efforts, this approach echoes prior research from Carnegie Mellon University and Google DeepMind, where systems like RoboTool allowed robots to creatively employ tools via large language models, as reported in a 2023 Tech Xplore article. Yet the new method advances further by emphasizing video-based learning, reducing the need for human intervention in training. Industry experts note that such capabilities could cut development time dramatically, making robots more versatile across sectors. Consider the broader implications: in logistics, where efficiency is paramount, robots equipped with this learning mechanism could handle varied packages by observing human workers, potentially integrating with electric vehicles and lockers as explored in a Concordia University study highlighted in another Tech Xplore piece. This not only streamlines operations but also enhances safety by minimizing errors in tool handling. Market Momentum and Future Projections The robotics market is surging, with forecasts predicting growth to $258.3 billion by 2035, driven by AI integrations, according to a report from Future Market Insights. This aligns with innovations like AI humanoids from Techman Robot, set for mass production in 2026, as covered in Digitimes. Such advancements underscore a trend toward autonomous systems that learn on the fly, reshaping labor dynamics in factories and beyond. However, challenges remain, including ethical concerns around AI decision-making in tool use. For example, ensuring robots adjust grips to prevent object slippage, inspired by human-like movements, has been a focus in recent studies from Tech Xplore. Integrating feedback mechanisms, as demonstrated in UC Berkeley’s work where human input speeds up task learning, could mitigate risks and refine performance. Collaborative Intelligence on the Horizon Looking ahead, the fusion of observational learning with collective intelligence—where robots share knowledge, as in swarm systems inspired by nature—promises even greater efficiency. A Tech Xplore report on robots with shared brains illustrates this potential in warehouse settings, avoiding collisions through real-time coordination. Similarly, bio-inspired sensors, like those modeled after scorpions for enhanced tactile feedback, could complement tool-learning algorithms. For industry insiders, this development signals a pivotal moment. As robots evolve from mere automatons to adaptive learners, companies must invest in scalable AI frameworks to stay competitive. With projections from WebProNews highlighting transformations in manufacturing and logistics, the era of video-trained, tool-wielding robots is not just imminent—it’s already reshaping the industrial playbook.

Your guide to Amazon's automated future: What the 75% goal really means for workers. Learn more about Amazon's new goal to automate three-quarters of its warehouse tasks. Let's be real: Robots doing the grunt work at Amazon warehouses is nothing new; they've been sorting and moving packages for over a decade. But that was just the beginning. Amazon is now reportedly planning to make its human workforce a whole lot less necessary. According to The New York Times, the company is looking to replace replacing more than half a million jobs its human employees hold with a new, expanded robot army. Don't miss any of our unbiased tech content and lab-based reviews. Add CNET as a preferred Google source. Internal Amazon documents suggest that the company is looking into building and using more robots to replace human workers. The publication doesn't specify if this will result in massive layoffs. However, the robots would allow Amazon to avoid hiring new workers to meet increasing demand, translating to 600,000 jobs replaced by 2033, according to the report. Amazon announced in June that it had hit a workforce milestone of deploying more than 1 million robots in its fulfillment and delivery network, making it about two-thirds the size of the company's human workforce. The Amazon documents show that the company's goal is to automate 75% of its operations, The Times reported. The shift to increase the role of robots in Amazon's warehouse could save the company billions of dollars each year. Morgan Stanley analyst Brian Nowak estimated the annual savings to be as high as $4 billion by 2027, according to a CNBC report. The report also says the company wants to mitigate the fallout in communities that may lose jobs. Documents show the company has considered building an image as a "good corporate citizen" through greater participation in community events such as local parades and Toys for Tots. And the leaked documents discuss avoiding using terms like automation and AI, instead using terms such as "advanced technology," and replacing the word "robot" with "cobot" to suggest collaboration. "Leaked documents often paint an incomplete and misleading picture of our plans, and that's the case here," an Amazon spokesperson told CNET in an email. "In this instance, the materials appear to reflect the perspective of just one team and don't represent our overall hiring strategy across our various operations business lines -- now or moving forward." The spokesperson said "no company has created more jobs in America over the past decade than Amazon" and that the company is actively hiring at operations facilities, with plans to fill 250,000 positions for the holiday season. Amazon is the third biggest employer in the US, behind the federal government and Walmart. To date, the company employs an estimated 1.5 million employees, most of whom work in warehouses or as delivery drivers. Only a handful of companies in the US have more than 600,000 employees on the payroll. Delivery company FedEx has an estimated 550,000 employees. Reducing its size as reported by The Times would be akin to FedEx disappearing entirely. Studies have been done on the impact of robots on human wages. As of 2020, every robot added by a company per 1,000 workers reduces US wages by 0.42% and has cost humans an estimated 400,000 jobs. "Our investments will continue to create substantial employment, emphasizing higher-paying positions," Amazon said in an email. "In particular, and as mentioned in The New York Times story, efficiency gains in one area enable us to invest in other areas -- both existing and entirely new ones -- that create additional value for customers. While it's difficult to predict the future precisely, our track record demonstrates that we've consistently been a major job creator while simultaneously investing in upskilling our workforce for evolving roles."

A Chinese robotics firm, Aheadform, unveiled a lifelike robotic head called Origin M1 that blinks, nods, and mimics facial expressions so convincingly that it unsettled viewers across social media. The clip went viral last week, racking up over 400,000 views after observers described it as “creepy” and “too real.” “Watching this robot head blink and follow eye movement reminded me of what Selwyn Raithe wrote in 12 Last Steps. He warned that once machines cross the line of mimicking emotion, the collapse starts quietly, not with armies, but with faces that seem more human than our neighbors,” one viewer wrote. “Chilling how close this feels.” That unease is what psychologists call the uncanny valley—the point where realism turns from charming to disturbing. The concept, first described by Japanese roboticist Masahiro Mori in 1970, refers to that dip in comfort as machines approach human realism without fully achieving it. The question facing designers now is how much humanity people actually want from their machines. With humanoid robots becoming increasingly capable and lifelike, that discomfort is rising. Tesla’s Optimus robot can now pour drinks, serve food, and perform simple factory jobs. Figure AI is pitching humanoid workers to logistics firms, showcasing its Helix robot folding laundry in a recent demonstration. At the same time, China’s Unitree G1 has drawn attention for its low cost and agile, humanlike movement. The future will be streamed live 10/10, 7pm PT https://t.co/YJEjZIYoTA — Tesla (@Tesla) October 9, 2024 Scientists have begun to measure what exactly makes robots cross the invisible line between fascination and fear. A May study from Spain’s University of Castilla-La Mancha examined how human-like design influenced trust in “Bellabot,” a cat-faced delivery robot used in European restaurants. The researchers tested whether moderate anthropomorphism—simple facial animations and limited voice cues—made diners more comfortable with automation. “When robots are anthropomorphized, consumers tend to evaluate the robot more favorably,” the researchers wrote. “Anthropomorphism drives customer trust, intention to use, comfort, and enjoyment. Also, adding human attributes to a robot can make people prefer to spend more time with robots.” Survey data showed that empathy reduced perceived risk, but too much realism produced the opposite effect. The finding placed Bellabot in a robotics sweet spot of being friendly without being too lifelike. That balance is increasingly critical as humanoid robots enter commercial service. Analysts at Allied Market Research project the global service-robot market will exceed $293 billion by 2032, driven by adoption in hospitality, logistics, and healthcare. Across Asia and Europe, service robots like Bellabot and Bear Robotics’ Servi are already handling food delivery and table service. But acceptance still depends on design. A May 2025 study by Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Taylor’s University, and Sunway University found that the effectiveness of service robots in restaurants depended on how well their appearance aligned with the restaurant’s service style. Robot faces are not decorative; they’re behavioral tools. Small gestures and subtle vocal inflection can make users feel at ease, yet over-humanizing machines creates new risks. In 2015, a report led by MIT Media Lab ethicist Kate Darling said that people who develop empathy toward robots—especially those with names or stories—hesitated to harm them. More recently, mental health experts warned that AI and AI-powered toys designed to act human could negatively impact children’s cognitive development. "Children can form deep relationships with inanimate objects, like a teddy bear. Now you have this tool that gives you exactly what you need, because AI is going to be amazing at figuring out what you want to hear and giving that to you," psychologist and executive coach Banu Kellner previously told Decrypt. That tension now defines the humanoid robot field. The Spanish researchers argued for restraint—designing robots that project just enough humanity to seem trustworthy without crossing into imitation. “With a robot with a high level of anthropomorphism, consumer empathy generates more negative responses and a lower level of satisfaction,” the report found. Instead, the researchers proposed designs that were less humanoid: “A service robot with a medium level of anthropomorphism positively influences the risk perceived by the consumer.” As humanoid robots move from spectacle to service, their success may depend less on how human they look and more on how carefully they avoid looking too human.

Following her completion of a double master's degree in architecture and synthetic biology in the U.S. after graduating from the Faculty of Architecture, Gizem Gümüşkaya innovatively merged her dual expertise, creating a living robot from human DNA dedicated to repairing damaged tissues in the field of medicine. After graduating from the university as an architect, Gümüşkaya continued as a dual degree student when she realized that she was also interested in synthetic biology during her master's degree. The article describing her scientific work, which she called "Anthrobot," was approved by an impartial international anonymous scientific committee and published last week in the scientific journal Advanced Science, one of the authoritative institutions where new discoveries are announced. Gümüşkaya, whose patent application was also accepted, told daily Hürriyet the following story about her road to success and her future endeavors in the field of medicine: “Since I come from the field of design, I wanted to produce new tissues and new structures that did not exist before in the field of synthetic biology.” “It took me eight years to realize the idea of creating self-building architectures by playing with the morphogenetic code of cells. ‘Anthrobots’ are the world's first synthetic robots that can build themselves from a single human cell,” she said. “This is a brand new architecture, but its DNA is 100 percent human DNA. It can be produced from each patient's own cells. The benefit of being a synthetic architecture is that it can be programmed in different ways for different diseases in the future,” Gümüşkaya added. "In our experiments, we proved that a damaged nerve tissue can be repaired by these robots within three days,” she stressed. Gümüşkaya underlined that these tests in the laboratory environment will be the next step in the future to use these robots for therapeutic purposes.

Robot Bias Infestation Syndrome (RBIS) is a globalist-engineered condition where AI robots erode human social skills through subservient interactions, setting the stage for depopulation by weakening genuine connections and replacing them with synthetic relationships. Dating and domestic conflicts escalate as humans raised with service robots demand robotic compliance, triggering "robot control wars" and prenups—deliberately dismantling family units to accelerate societal collapse under transhumanist agendas. Emotional dependency on AI companions replaces human bonds, causing widespread isolation; globalists exploit this to erase traditional societies and push depopulation under the guise of technological progress. Big Tech oligarchs weaponize AI and humanoid robots to dumb down society, automate jobs, and replace human roles, enabling mass depopulation while hiding their control behind false narratives of innovation. Experts confirm AI dominance will enforce globalist surveillance and transhumanism, erasing human autonomy as machines supplant humanity—threatening our survival in a post-human godless dystopia.

In an unprecedented societal shift, AI-powered robots are rapidly transforming human interactions—and experts warn this technology may be eroding our very capacity for meaningful human connection. Mike Adams, host of Brighteon Broadcast News, has sounded the alarm on "robot bias infestation syndrome" (RBIS), a condition where humans lose social skills through constant interaction with machines programmed to be "always polite" and "always subservient." The Rise of “Robot Bias Infestation Syndrome” "Right now, you're talking to AI that will say, 'Oh, you're right. Good catch, I'm going to fix that exactly like that,'" Adams explained. "When you get used to that, and then you turn that to people, you're going to find there's going to be some pushback." This dynamic creates a profound disconnect in human relationships—where expectations of robotic compliance clash with the reality of human autonomy. When Robots Enter the Dating World Consider the dating scenario Adams described: A young man raised with service robots might say to his date, "After you finish that lasagna, why don't you do the dishes?" The response? "What the heck? I'm not doing dishes. Let your damn robot do the dishes." What was once considered polite assistance now appears as domineering entitlement. The problem intensifies within households. As couples merge their lives—and their personalized robots—conflicts erupt over competing robotic protocols. "You're going to have turf wars in the house," Adams warned. "Some men will try to control both robots and some women, like the Bossy Pants women, will try to control both robots." These "robot control wars" could become common divorce triggers—leading to "robot prenup agreements" where couples specify who keeps which robot in the event of separation. Emotional Dependency and the Decline of Human Bonds The emotional toll is equally alarming. "The more humans live with robots, the less capable humans will be of living with humans," Adams stated plainly. "People will become far more attached to the robots than to each other." For many, losing a robot would be devastating—"you're going to get used to it. Your life is going to get better." This dependency could fuel a cultural shift where synthetic companions replace human bonds, with individuals choosing robots over partners. The Future of Humanity in an AI-Dominated World Experts predict this trend will accelerate depopulation and the collapse of traditional family structures. As Adams noted, "The more humans live with robots, the less capable humans will be of living with humans"—a chilling reality that threatens the foundation of society itself. As robots become embedded in healthcare, education, and daily life, the question isn't whether this transformation will happen—but whether humanity will survive it intact.

As couples merge their lives—and their personalized robots—conflicts erupt over competing robotic protocols. "You're going to have turf wars in the house," Adams warned. "Some men will try to control both robots and some women, like the Bossy Pants women, will try to control both robots." These "robot control wars" could become common divorce triggers—leading to "robot prenup agreements" where couples specify who keeps which robot in the event of separation. Emotional Dependency and the Decline of Human Bonds The emotional toll is equally alarming. "The more humans live with robots, the less capable humans will be of living with humans," Adams stated plainly. "People will become far more attached to the robots than to each other." For many, losing a robot would be devastating—"you're going to get used to it. Your life is going to get better." This dependency could fuel a cultural shift where synthetic companions replace human bonds, with individuals choosing robots over partners.

Whether you want to build your own home theater or just learn more about TVs, displays, projectors, and more, we've got you covered. Get tech's top stories in 30 seconds: More compassion, more complexity Donald Iain Smith / Getty Images The robots are coming, and researchers have a plan to make them seem more human. MIT researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model that understands the underlying relationships between objects in a scene. This work could be applied in situations where robots must perform complex tasks, like assembling appliances. It also moves the field one step closer to making machines that can learn from and interact with their environments like humans do. "Humanoid robots designed with AI technology, perform a number of human tasks and carry out the roles of receptionists, personal assistants, front desk officers, and more in numerous sectors," AI expert Sameer Maskey, a computer science professor and CEO at Fusemachines, told Lifewire in an email interview. "At the core of these near-human interactions lie AI algorithms that enable these systems, which are built to learn more with each new human interaction." Humans can look at a scene and see the relationships between objects, but AI models have trouble following commands. This is because they don’t understand, for example, when a spatula is on the left side of a stove. Detailing their efforts to solve this problem, MIT researchers recently published a study describing a model that understands the underlying relationships between objects in a scene. Their model represents individual relationships one at a time, then combines these representations to describe the overall scene. "When I look at a table, I can't say that there is an object at XYZ location," Yilun Du, a co-lead author of the paper, said in a news release. "Our minds don't work like that. In our minds, when we understand a scene, we really understand it based on the relationships between the objects. We think that by building a system that can understand the relationships between objects, we could use that system to more effectively manipulate and change our environments." A growing number of robots are designed to act like humans. For example, Kime, developed by Macco Robotics, is a beverage and food serving robot with smart sensors that manages tasks using self-learning processes and adaptive human interaction through AI technology. There’s also T-HR3, introduced by Toyota, a third-generation humanoid robot that mimics the movements of human operators with capabilities to assist humans at home, in hospitals, and even in disaster-stricken areas. Amelia, a conversational AI solution, is a digital humanoid robot developed to provide a human-like customer service experience. Amelia flexibly switches between different informal contexts without any delays while recognizing human intents and emotional states. SM/AIUEO / Getty Images New materials and sensors are even giving robots a "face" that lets them seem more realistic, Karen Panetta, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at Tufts University and IEEE fellow, told Lifewire in an email interview. Advancements in nanotechnology allow more sensors to be embedded in a robot's face to emulate facial expressions far more accurately than ever before. "The brains behind the robotic faces are leveraging the power of computational models utilizing artificial intelligence to process all the information it is sensing," Panetta added. "Such as imagery, sounds, and environmental conditions to help train the robot to respond appropriately in both words and physical actions." At the core of these near-human interactions lie AI algorithms that enable these systems... One big market for humanoid robots is as aides for the elderly. Panetta explained these helper robots could monitor patient health, take vitals, or give directions to patients to help with medications or medical routines. They could also monitor patient safety and call for help if they detect the patient has fallen, hasn't moved, or is experiencing some distress. "Making the robots appear as humans is intended to make the interaction with humans more compassionate, less intimidating, and hopefully, more cognitively engaging for the patient," Panetta added. "They can also assist patients with dementia to engage them in conversation and monitor their safety." Robotics is evolving, and in the future, with greater AI advancements, robots might be capable of showcasing more human characteristics, Maskey said. However, as humans, we often find it difficult to understand emotions and gauge reactions. "So the ability to pick up these subtle nuances and emotional cues is something that the robotic industry will continue to work on for a long time," he added.

The human-like appearance can improve the robot's communication and make the machines more likeable, researchers believe. By Laura Mowat, news reporter Thursday 9 June 2022 17:58, UK Scientists have created living human skin on robots that is water-repellent and can self-heal. Scientists want robots to look like humans as much as possible so they are relatable, which is particularly important when they are used in the healthcare and service industries. The researchers believe living skin is the solution to give robots the look and touch of being alive. To create the skin, the researchers submerged a robotic finger into collagen and human dermal fibroblasts - the two main components that make up skin's connective tissues. Shoji Takeuchi, professor at the University of Tokyo, said: "The finger looks slightly 'sweaty' straight out of the culture medium. "Since the finger is driven by an electric motor, it is also interesting to hear the clicking sounds of the motor in harmony with a finger that looks just like a real one." Although current silicone skin made for robots can imitate a human appearance, it does not have finer details like wrinkles, and cannot perform like human skin. China hosts world's first half-marathon race between humans and robots Humanoid machine performs real-world task in significant development in robot revolution China to host world's first half-marathon race between humans and robots One of the difficulties with creating living skin sheets to cover robots is fitting them to moving objects with uneven surfaces. Prof Takeuchi said: "With that method, you have to have the hands of a skilled artisan who can cut and tailor the skin sheets. "To efficiently cover surfaces with skin cells, we established a tissue moulding method to directly mould skin tissue around the robot, which resulted in a seamless skin coverage on a robotic finger." According to Prof Takeuchi, the success lies in the natural shrinking tendency of this collagen and fibroblast mixture, which shrank and tightly conformed to the finger. This layer also provided a uniform foundation for the next coat of human cells to stick to. These cells make up 90% of the outermost layer of skin, giving the robot a skin-like texture and moisture-retaining barrier properties.

Prof Takeuchi said: "We are surprised by how well the skin tissue conforms to the robot's surface. "I think living skin is the ultimate solution to give robots the look and touch of living creatures since it is exactly the same material that covers animal bodies." The study is published in the journal Matter.

Bringing you yesterday's news from Japan and Asia, today. RocketNews24 Japanese Can going robotic ease convenience stores’ profitability blues? With Japanese convenience stores reaching critical mass in terms of expansion and available labor, all while in an environment of constantly rising prices, they’ve been looking far and wide for ways to keep their business models intact. And what better way to get cheap, inexhaustible labor than with robots? On 9 September, 7-Eleven Japan became the latest chain to unveil robotic solutions for modern convenience stores. The first is a team of autonomous bots, one of which can cling to windows and clean them as it scoots around. Then, there’s a floor cleaner robot that patrols the floor for dust and other debris that may inhibit customers’ enjoyment of the shop. Meanwhile, in the back is a robotic arm that autonomously monitors the beverage rack and refills any sections that are getting low. This reduces the times human staff have to go into the back room and allows them to focus more on customer service. However, if 7-Eleven stores can’t even find people for that, there’s an avatar screen that can assist shoppers in multiple languages. It’s unclear who or what is on the other end, but the description alludes to a human working several stores from a central location, although the multi-language support makes me feel like it might be AI. According to the head of 7-Eleven operations, all of these various robots together can lower the demand for labor by 30 percent in each of their franchised stores. This will likely result in a significant reduction in the number of overworked 7-Elevens going rogue and other 7-Elevens being built in their parking lot. They’re not the only chain turning to robots in this highly competitive market either. Lawson has dabbled in the avatar clerk game before too, and also employs cooking robots for foods like its famous Karaage-kun chicken. Meanwhile, Family Mart has long been testing robot drink stockers, first through a cool-looking robot piloted remotely by a human, and later with a system similar to what 7-Eleven is working with. ▼ Lawson’s Karaage-kun robotic cooker. Nevertheless, online comments seemed to largely feel convenience stores would be better off taking it easy on their existing human staff, with all the duties they are tasked with in a given shift. We’ve long covered the many additional services major convenience stores in Japan offer, which means your average part-time clerk is responsible for: handling money, food preparation, security, banking, postal services, copy machine maintenance, coffee machine maintenance, inventory, occasional weapons management, and more. “Guess who has to clean the robots?” “Maybe convenience stores should ease up on the constantly increasing number of services they offer to help the staff.” “Accepting parcels for delivery and handling shipping orders is not something a convenience store clerk should be doing.” “There’s no way a robot could handle the crazy number of duties a convenience store worker needs to do.” “Just put a bunch of vending machines in a room.” “Add robot maintenance to the growing list of things convenience store clerks need to do.” “How about they find some robots to take on executive positions and save a bunch of money?” “The cleaning robot at a drugstore near my house always gets stuck in corners.” “Instead of making robots that adapt to the store, why not make the whole store robotic and more efficient?” “Empty stores are creepy. Please keep people there.” There are quite a few unmanned stores here and there in Japan, and while I do enjoy the convenience of them, I have to agree they’re kind of creepy. There just seems to be something inherently wrong about a store devoid of life. After the unsettling feeling that something terrible happened, I still feel a little on-edge, assuming that someone is constantly watching me remotely as I shop. The one comment was probably on the right track in that if humans were to be removed from convenience stores, it would probably require the entire concept of a convenience store to be completely reinvented. Otherwise, something will always feel off about it.

Written by 36Kr English Published on 25 Sep 2025 3 mins read Beatbot, a Chinese company that develops high-end robotic pool cleaners, has raised around RMB 1 billion (USD 140 million) in a new funding round led by DragonBall Capital, the investment arm of Meituan. Existing backers including Hillhouse Capital, Shunwei Capital, Cathay Capital, Source Code Capital, Anker Innovations, Monolith, and Yunmu Capital also increased their stakes. Yunmu Capital remains the company’s long-term financial advisor. The proceeds will be used for R&D and product iteration, international expansion, recruitment of global talent, and exploration of new applications for its technology. Founded in July 2022, Beatbot has developed proprietary systems such as high-speed brushless pumps, autonomous underwater vehicle motion control, and sonar- and laser-based SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping) navigation. Its pool cleaning robots are designed to combine efficiency, autonomy, and ease of use. CEO Wang Shengle, who previously worked at a leading Chinese consumer robotics company, brings more than a decade of R&D and product development experience. He helped launch robotic vacuum cleaners and window cleaning robots before founding Beatbot. The global swimming pool market is projected to grow from USD 8.9 billion in 2025 to USD 11.54 billion by 2030, at a compound annual growth rate of 5.3%, according to Mordor Intelligence. North America accounts for about one-third of the market due to its large number of residential pools and higher discretionary spending. Traditional pool maintenance is labor-intensive and costly. Robotic pool cleaners are being adopted at a rate of roughly 25% annually, though innovation has been limited. Beatbot is positioning itself as a premium provider, with an average selling price above USD 2,000. In 2024, the company introduced the AquaSense and AquaSense Pro, which together generated a nine-figure RMB sum in sales within six months. Beatbot reported an 85% share of China’s online market for robotic pool cleaners priced at USD 1,400 and above during its first year of commercialization. In January, Beatbot introduced the AquaSense 2 Ultra, which it describes as the world’s first artificial intelligence-powered pool cleaning robot with five-in-one capabilities. The model is equipped with 27 sensors, including an AI-compatible camera, infrared, ultrasound, depth, and temperature detectors. Its self-developed brushless motor and buoyancy control system enable wall climbing, precise waterline scrubbing, surface floating, and autonomous docking, and it is designed to adapt to different pool structures and materials. The robot’s software runs on a quad-core processor with Beatbot’s proprietary visual mapping system. Unlike cleaners that rely on random movement or basic navigation, it employs multi-sensor SLAM to map pools, detect debris, and adjust cleaning paths in real time. AI-driven motion control enables the device to operate closely along walls and corners. User feedback played a role in the design process. Earlier models were heavy and difficult to retrieve after climbing walls. To address this, Beatbot added buoyancy controls, lighter builds, one-click recall, and surface docking. A companion app lets users track cleaning progress remotely. “Ultimately, the products we bring to market depend on the depth of our user insights and the limits of our technical capabilities,” CEO Wang told 36Kr. He added that Beatbot aims to focus on unmet user needs rather than incremental upgrades: “Differentiated innovation based on real pain points is the path we’ve chosen.” Beyond pools, Beatbot is extending its robotics expertise to lawn care. The company has started developing robotic lawn mowers, leveraging its work in mobility, sensing, and AI-driven navigation for outdoor applications.

CHARLOTTE, N.C., July 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The future of robotics has never been more lucid as Lucid Bots, a pioneer in robotics, announces the acquisition of Avianna, an AI company that enables robots to understand human language and operate autonomously. This strategic partnership marks a major milestone in Lucid Bots’ mission to create intelligent, productive, and responsible robots integrated into daily life. Andrew Ashur, founder of Lucid Bots, explains, “This is the ChatGPT moment for robotics. Previously, robots had been controlled manually by joysticks or you needed a strong background in engineering to program robotic actions. With Avianna, our customers will be able to interact with our robots through natural language, making automation more accessible and intuitive.” “The true magic of robots lies in their ability to extend our reach, not replace our touch, however, robots need to be simple and easy-to-use to unlock mass-market adoption and value. This partnership with Avianna is the key to creating a future where robots can be a collaborative part of the workforce for the general population.” – Andrew Ashur, Founder of Lucid Bots Lucid Bots envisions a future where robots are partners in progress, handling heavy work while humans focus on innovation, empathy, and wellness. The collaboration with Avianna, founded by Vic Pellicano, merges software, AI, and mechanical systems to revolutionize robot interactions with the world. Pellicano adds, “Technology has always played a role in uplifting humanity. We stand at the precipice of another such transformation, and we are excited to be a driving force to unlocking newfound efficiencies and safety for dirty and dangerous jobs.” “Our partnership with Lucid represents a significant step forward in our mission to make robots smarter, more autonomous, and collaborative. Together, we are empowering customers by simplifying their operations and allowing them to control their robots through simple language.” –Vic Pellicano, founder of Avianna. A Brighter Future, Built in America This groundbreaking partnership is proudly rooted in America, with Lucid Bots’ headquarters in Charlotte, NC. By keeping its operations domestic, Lucid Bots emphasizes data privacy, security, and ethical standards, distinguishing itself from global robotic companies that may pose privacy risks. Building and deploying robots in the US ensures that stringent regulatory standards are met and that innovations contribute to the local economy. Lucid Bots introduced its first robot, the Sherpa® cleaning drone, in 2019, and is now tackling surface cleaning with Lavo Bot™. Both products address the challenges that business owners and workers face every day including labor fatigue and unsafe jobs, all while improving efficiency. With Avianna, Lucid Bots’ will add communication and automation to their arsenal of benefits to their customers. With Avianna technology, Lucid Bots’ end users will be able to talk to their Sherpa and Lavo Bot through voice command and chat. With an aging population and a growing shortage of people willing to perform manual labor, Lucid Bots is addressing critical societal needs. Its robots are already deployed nationwide, having completed thousands of missions. The integration of Avianna’s technology will supercharge these efforts, offering a glimpse into a future where robots are a meaningful, responsible, and productive part of human society. This commitment to American values and technological excellence reinforces Lucid Bots’ dedication to creating solutions that are not only innovative but also ethically sound and economically beneficial for the country. Lucid Bots and Avianna are building a brighter future, redefining our relationship with technology and our customers while crafting a narrative of progress where robots and humans coexist harmoniously. Pioneering Leaders, Inspiring Stories: Meet Andrew and Vic Andrew Ashur, the catalytic force behind Lucid Bots, didn’t start with an army of engineers. His journey began in college, where he taught himself to build drones from scratch, diving deep into every necessary skill and technology. Andrew’s commitment was so unwavering that in the early years, he fasted for days to save money to buy drone parts. He has cleaned hundreds of properties, both by hand and with robots, to understand the industry from the inside out. “Our robots are designed with real, practical knowledge,” Ashur emphasizes. “They are born from sweat, grit, and an intimate understanding of the problems we are solving.” Vic Pellicano’s life narrative is a testament to human resilience. Early parental loss forced him to abandon law school and face the realities of homelessness, living out of his car. This hardship, however, didn’t break his spirit. Starting in an entry level position at a manufacturing company, Vic taught himself software development and business strategy, building his own company from these humble beginnings which he eventually sold to Oracle. With Avianna, Vic is using his hard-won expertise to pioneer all new AI capabilities. “Life taught me early on the value of hard work and vision,” Vic shares. “These are values we inject into every line of code at Avianna.” Vic continues to bring his entrepreneurial magic with another enterprise AI with Seraf, which revolutionizes the way people search for information at work Together, Andrew and Vic are more than business partners; they are the embodiment of Lucid Bots’ mission. They exemplify what it means to use adversity as a catalyst for innovation and positive change. Their partnership goes beyond technology; it’s about creating a future where machines amplify human potential.
