Humanoid robots — along with fully driverless vehicles — are widely viewed among artificial intelligence (AI) experts as one of the Next Big Things in AI.
Once limited to science fiction media, they are now being rapidly developed
Humanoids are AI-powered machines that resemble the human form and move and communicate similarly to humans. Artificial intelligence-driven applications are improving at lightning speed. Indeed, Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang is a huge believer that the humanoid robot boom is coming.
In January 2025, during CES 2025, Huang opined that, in “less than 10 years,” he was “certain” that humanoid robots would surprise everyone with how good they would be. With big money pouring into humanoid development, I think the timeline could be shorter for humanoids performing repetitive manual labor within a specified area, such as a factory.
