We are determined to create robots that look like us. It all started in 1980 with a original Boston Dynamics that already had prototypes of robots capable of Give mortal jumps and walk to Pata Cojawith designs that would later be recovered for wonders such as Spot. The industry has advanced a lot in these 30 years and of those robots almost from the science fiction of the 80s, we have moved to humanoid robots with amazing abilities. And in this graph prepared by Visual Capitalist We can see some of the most representative in recent months: Police photo. The Boston Dynamics HD Atlas was the one that began this fever for humanoid robots. We have seen it do everything, but life is hard and The time for retirement arrived. A new generation, the new Atlas, stronger and capable of its joints, reached the company’s testing field now owned by Hyundaibut as can be seen in the graph, it is not very different from the rest of the competitors. Chinese models are missing. In this kind of police file, we have a majority presence of American robots, being the PHOENIX of Sanctuary AI and the H1 of Unitree the only ones who are not Americans. And yes, it is true that US companies are very focused on the creation of these devices, but many China models are missing. The Asian giant is immersed in a technological revolution (despite the severe western restrictions) and has within its borders companies that They are competing Not only to create robots to integrate into your society, but do it on a large scale. One of the maximum exponents, apart from the UNITREE H1, is the Agibot company with the models A2 and A2 Max. Like Americans, they have a IA processor that allows you to collect data from abroad and act accordingly. In addition, these models are multimodal, so they also understand information provided through text or audio. There are also the Robothera Star1 (considered the fastest in the world), the Ubtech Walker S1 or the GR-1 of Fourier Intelligence. China wants to work. Despite all those absences, it is clear that we have been seeing demonstrations of these robots for years, but few examples of them performing the work for which they have been programmed in the real world (with exceptions like BMW’s figure). It is precisely China where the accelerator are most treading at the moment due to the need. The GR-1, for example, was programmed to exercise as a nurse with the aim of responding to a need: The country is increasingly old And there is no generational relief capable of taking care of their elders, or who wants work in some industries. The intention of the country It is to create a National Network of Services for the Elderly in 2029 with the aim that all older citizens have access to basic services. Among the tasks of these robots, are domestic services, health monitoring or emotional company. But we can not only talk about humanoid robots, since China too He is testing robots ‘Lazarillos’ And it has its own spot working as a mobile paper. 2025 looks like the year. The interesting thing is that, beyond the tests in some scenarios in China and the United States, the main players in this segment are clear that 2025 should be the year in which the explosion of robots begins. At the end of 2024, Agibot said they were ready for their robots to take the streets thanks to 1,000 models produced; Tesla wants to produce in mass Optimus gen 2 This 2025, with between 50,000 and 100,000 units Facing 2026 And the Chinese government itself marked 2025 as a target year so that the robots of their companies are available to buy. I, robot. There are many other companies, such as the Norwegian 1x with their Neo Beta and Neo Gamma whose objective will be to clean the house that are also in this wave of robotics, but beyond the companies that aspire to create mass robots this 2025, there are others that want to get into the car in one way or another. An example is goal, Mark Zuckerberg’s company that is betting strongly to the development of artificial intelligence and that, precisely, wants Its AI is the brain of some of these robots. And, speaking of great technological ones, We have Apple’s examplewhich also seems to be looking for the way to put the leg in the home robot segment, with a device similar to An iPad with robotic arm First and humanoid robots as a final objective. In the end, as we say, after years of demonstrations, it seems that 2025 will be the year in which robots will cease to be simple fair attractions to integrate into our day to day.
