Humanoid robots are becoming an important part of our technological reality, opening up new horizons in science, industry, and everyday life. These machines promise to solve a wide range of problems, thanks to their designed adaptability to the environment.

Sergey Lonshakov, founder of AIRA and the architect of the Robonomics project, recently spoke about the latest advances in humanoid robot development. He addressed the potential benefits and the challenges facing society with these next-generation systems.

When will humanoid robots be capable? The next level is what consumers want: a robot to load and unload the dishwasher or take out the trash. Success is defined by being able to push a button and have it get up and do those things.

The first robotic vacuum cleaners mapped the room with a camera pointed at the ceiling, but they knew nothing about obstacles. As navigation and sensing became more sophisticated, both industrial mobile robots and household systems can enter new environments safely.

1X Technologies has developed Neo, a humanoid robot designed to help around the house. However, it is currently using a combination of teleoperation and machine learning. Home
