⚪ To cap off a pretty eventful weak in AI & emerging tech: if you know other robot enthusiasts you might want to share this with them.
“What kind of a world will we be living in when robots and humanoid robotics go mainstream?”
Two of my favorite voices in humanoid robotics coverage have to be , along with in Physical AI . They sometimes cover robotics and physical AI on this pub.
Headlines in Robotics:
As AI continues to evolve and the mass production of humanoid robots begins, I suspect I’ll be covering robotics increasingly on this publication. This future AI takes many aspects and with all the emphasis on LLMs, the impact of robots might be underestimated in the mid 2020s.
🔵 Industry news I noticed recently:
-
Amazon will begin to test humanoid robots in delivery.
-
