Humanoid robots have long advanced far beyond what we once imagined, going even further than what is portrayed in movie scripts. The growing possibilities for their application in the market are significantly changing our perception of the importance and impact of these tools in our daily lives. In this article, let’s explore how far this technology has evolved and what it can achieve.
What is the Significance of AI Humanoid Robots?
For a long time, robotization has attracted significant attention as a promising future opportunity. Humanoids are general-purpose robots that resemble humans not only in appearance but also in their ability to learn and perform various tasks.
Artificial intelligence technology (AI) allows humanoid robots to learn and adapt faster than ever before. They are equipped with complex drives, sensors, computing parameters, and software that ensure full robot interaction, mimicking human actions.
One of the key reasons they are seen as promising is that they can automate certain tasks and take over jobs from humans, which increases productivity. Additionally, they can assist humans in performing various tasks, becoming part of the process rather than replacing people.
Another important aspect is that they can replace humans in complex situations where there may be safety risks or a higher chance of injury, among other factors.
Where Can AI Humanoid Robots be Applied?
Humanoid robots can be applied in a wide range of fields. For example, in factories, they perform tasks related to assembly lines, inspection, or maintenance work.
In warehousing and logistics, they can gather specific products, package them, and manage inventories. In smart homes, they perform daily tasks, although currently mostly in separate areas, such as vacuuming (though they are separate tools, not objects mimicking human actions).
They are also gradually being used in customer service points, such as airports, hotels, or shopping malls.
Despite such broad application possibilities, their future may be even more promising.
What Breakthroughs are We Witnessing?
In many cases, humanoid robots are not yet widely applied in the market and are more related to isolated experimental cases. Additionally, challenges remain in their dynamism and ability to adapt to rapidly changing environments, as well as their appearance and human physiology — i.e., their movements are not yet as flexible.\
However, current advancements show that these challenges are gradually being successfully addressed.
For example, the Norwegian robotics startup 1X plans to begin early trials of the humanoid robot „Neo Gamma“ in people’s homes. These trials will bring robots closer to real daily life and allow them to learn from human experiences. The data gathered will train future AI models and create a promising humanoid robot with a broad range of tasks it can perform.
Although these experiments are just the beginning, the robot already shows exceptional and unique abilities — such as vacuuming, watering plants, and walking through rooms without bumping into furniture or people.
Additionally, AgiBot, an innovation company for humanoid robots in Beijing, recently introduced a robot with incredible mobility — it can walk, run, squat, or even roll over.
The company, based on the outskirts of Shanghai, has created simulated environments ranging from store aisles to fully furnished apartments, allowing the robots to learn to function in any uncertain environment.
Final Word
Although robots are not yet fully autonomous, their current capabilities show that technology and robotics campaigns are progressing successfully due to the resolution of these challenges. While not immediately, in the future, AI humanoid robots will likely improve our daily lives.
