Humanoid-Robotics 2023: AI walks and talks

America ı By Jackie Allen

humanoid robotics

The field of AI has witnessed remarkable advancements. And humanoid-robotics are here to stay. These robots, which closely resemble humans in appearance and behavior, are being designed to work alongside humans in various sectors such as hospitality and customer service. 

As technology continues to evolve, there is a possibility that these robots will become indistinguishable from humans, leading to a future where interactions with robots feel remarkably human-like.

Humanoid-Robotics 2023 

The Darpa Robotics Challenge, held eight years ago, showcased robots struggling to perform basic human tasks. However, if the challenge were held today, robots would complete tasks significantly faster and with fewer accidents.

Jerry Pratt, a senior research scientist, and his team, who secured second place in the 2015 challenge, have made significant progress.

Pratt is currently the CTO of Figure AI, a company developing humanoid robots primarily for warehouse work. And he recently announced $70 million in investment funding.

He believes that recent developments, such as advanced computer vision and power-dense batteries, have revolutionized the capabilities of humanoid robots.

Enhanced Computer Vision and Battery Technology

Machine learning advancements over the past decade have facilitated significant progress in computer vision. Now robots can navigate complex environments, climb stairs, and manipulate objects with greater ease. 

The electric vehicle industry development of power-dense batteries, driven by the electric vehicle industry, has enabled humanoid robots to move their legs quickly and maintain dynamic balance.

Pratt's company is currently testing its robot in a simulated warehouse in Sunnyvale, California. And the plan is to make humanoid robots as affordable as cars if there is sufficient demand.

Humanoid robots are no longer just in science fiction. Their potential applications for the future are endless. Videos of dancing Atlas humanoid robots created by Boston Dynamics have accumulated millions of views on YouTube. And in 2022 a British robot named Ai-Da made history as the first robot to speak at the House of Lords.

Although these robots were initially costly and couldn’t operate independently. Major progress has been made in both cost reductions and humanoid autonomy.

In March at ProMat, an industry event, Agility's robots were impressive. They were able to pick totes from shelves and place them on conveyors.

Wheeled robot machines are commonly used in warehouses. But Melonee Wise, Agility's CTO, says humanoid robots have distinct advantages.
