Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Who will win the race to develop a humanoid robot?
For decades, robotic arms and robots have been widely used in factories and warehouses, assembling parts, putting chips and parts on electric circuit boards, painting car bodies, and putting merchandise into boxes. Under a controlled environment, robots can perform specific tasks automatically and reliably 24/7, save for maintenance. Nowadays, robots are also used to service customers in controlled environments, such as restaurants, hotels, and airports, delivering food, answering questions, and helping customers. Also, some cars are assisted or even driven by AI-powered driving systems. You can see robots are now performing tasks more autonomously than just automatically. The next breakthrough seems to be how robots perform day-to-day tasks such as dish washing, laundry, house cleaning, and human assistance. To perform like humans, robots need to be more autonomous, flexible, and mobile, ideally with two legs to do tasks safely in a day-to-day environment. Recently, a two-legged humanoid robot ran a half-marathon race in Beijing (Vol.4749), but more advanced AI and mass-produced parts are essential to produce reliable and affordable humanoid robots. Who can develop such autonomous robots and where?
Read the article and learn how and where humanoid robots can be produced.
