C-3PO would be proud. Humanoid robotics funding is already at record levels in 2024. Momentum in the space is being propelled in part by AI advances. In particular, developers are targeting more realistic human-robot interactions using large language models (LLMs) and natural language processing.Learn more about how the landscape is evolving in this brief.
Big tech, big moves. The opportunity presented by humanoid robotics-AI crossover is catching the eyes of big tech companies like Amazon and Google. These companies are quickly moving into the space through in-house efforts as well as startup investments and partnerships. For example, Amazon is piloting Agility Robotics’ bipedal robot Digit in its fulfillment centers. Explore big tech’s moves in the space in this brief.
Bots in da warehouse. So what exactly are these robots being designed to do? Most companies developing humanoid robots are targeting manufacturing and logistics use cases, as they involve structured environments (like warehouses) and simpler, more repetitive tasks (like handling materials and moving items).
