Humanoid Robot, Get Real

Humanoid Robots Finally Get Real Jobs
Newly powered by AI brains, these creatures of science fiction are moving toward a practical reality—stacking, sorting and lifting.
Silicon Valley is going all in on humanoid robots. Making them a reality will take decades.
Humanoid robots like Tesla’s Optimus, Agility AI’s Digit, and Figure AI’s 02 are bipedal machines that can interact with their environment in a manner similar to humans. That means picking up and moving objects with artificial hands, or in some cases claws, and manipulating them in ways that less sophisticated robots simply can’t.
Humanoid Robots Are Starting to Work Human Warehouse Jobs
As the Wall Street Journal reports, two bipedal helpers, built by Agility Robotics, are currently moving bins around in a busy warehouse in Georgia. Dropped right into an environment designed for humans, the robots bend over to pick up the containers, then amble over to a nearby conveyor belt to drop them off. Rinse and repeat.
These humanoid robots could build themselves on factory lines
Robot maker Apptronik partnered with supply chain company Jabil to test and produce its humanoid robots and potentially build themselves in factories.
