December 5, 2011 - In recent years, withAIThe rapid development of technology.Humanoid RobotIt's gradually moving from science fiction to reality. Recently, Citi Global Insights analysts Rob Garlick and Wenyan Fei discussed the future of the humanoid robotics industry over the next 25 years on Opening Bid.
Analysts point out that while robotics has a certain history, a series of recent technological breakthroughs, particularly advances in artificial intelligence, have reinvigorated the humanoid robotics industry. Over the next 25 years, it is expected thatThe market for humanoid robots is set to reach a staggering $7 trillion (currently around RMB 50.92 trillion).
Analysts believe thatOne of the areas where humanoid robots are most likely to make significant advances is home services. In the future, robots capable of performing household chores, such as folding clothes and mowing the lawn, as well as taking care of the elderly, are expected to see rapid growth. In addition, logistics, construction and food delivery will also be important application scenarios for humanoid robots.
Tesla's Optimus is one of the high-profile humanoid robots currently in the spotlight, but there are dozens of other companies actively working on similar products around the world. Analysts say there are more than 50 different types of humanoid robots in development.
Despite the potential of the household market, in the short term, theHumanoid robots are more likely to be widely used in industry and the labor market first. Analysts expect that the payback period for some humanoid robots could even be as short as 36 weeks. However, mass production of humanoid robots still faces significant cost challenges, especially the construction of production lines.
While humanoid robots hold great promise for applications, analysts also emphasize the importance of the ethics of the technology. They cautioned that just because humanoid robots are able to perform a certain task, it doesn't mean they should do it.
