We break down the industries that humanoid robots will impact the most — from manufacturing and logistics to healthcare — as well as the startups leading the way.
Humanoid robots have already made a big splash this year, with funding reaching a new record just 3 months into 2024.
A handful of developers are targeting 2024 to release their humanoid robots, which are designed to perform tasks similar to humans. Technologies like generative AI and reinforcement learning are helping drive this progress. However, the impact will be limited at first, and it will likely take 3-5 years to see more widespread commercial rollout and usefulness.
Below, we dive into 6 industries that humanoids will impact the most in both the near- and long-term, as well as the technology firms making this possible:
- Manufacturing
- Logistics
- Retail
- Healthcare
- Construction
- Defense & disaster response
