In a discussion with Bloomberg at Citi’s flagship EMEA tech conference, Jarad Cannon, Chief Technology Officer of Humanoid, discussed how humanoid robots would move from lab-based robots to real commercial uses. Along with the surge in interest surrounding AI, robots and humanoids have also started to become a regular feature of market discussion. CEOs of Tesla and NVIDIA have repeatedly touted these systems, with Elon Musk going as far as to claim that the future of his firm will be in robots and not in electric vehicles.
Commenting on the timeline of humanoid robots, Cannon, whose firm demonstrated a multi-robot coordination system powered with NVIDIA’s products earlier this month, commented that he thinks “we’re gonna see real commercial uses starting later this year and going into next year for these systems in industrial spaces.” He added that a key feature of robots that can drive commercial popularity is their ability to perform multiple tasks. “The AI systems are general enough to be able to learn these tasks,” said Cannon. “Not just a single task, but multiple tasks inside these facilities, which really is what unlocks the commercial viability of them,” he added.
