3 trends that could help explain why we're seeing more humanoid robot news than ever: 1. Making robots is getting cheaper 2. robots are already paying off 3. AI is getting better, fast.
One of the biggest problems facing humanoid robots in 2025 is a lack of high quality training data. The internet has plenty of language examples to train ChatGPT but not as many fully sensory experiences for a robot to learn how to pick up coffee cups.
@Bernt Børnich, CEO of 1X Technologies believes that if we want to build truly intelligent machines, humanoids need to collect diverse data in homes and among people. And to do that we need to build something fundamentally different than a factory robot – built for safety, privacy, and everyday tasks.
