Humanoid robots are showing meaningful progress beyond controlled demonstrations, with advances in autonomy, dexterity, and the ability to perform repetitive real-world tasks. But widespread commercial deployment still remains a work in progress. Meanwhile, NVIDIA Corp is supporting the computing side of physical AI. Figure AI is securing access to up to 100,000 Vera Rubin GPUs to train the models powering its humanoid robots.

The report concluded that robotic autonomy is developing along a curve rather than arriving through one decisive breakthrough, with "broad generalizability" remaining the longer-term goal.
