Part 5/8:
By 2026, true embodied autonomy will be achieved, marking the introduction of first-generation humanoid robots. Companies like Boston Dynamics are already pushing the boundaries in robotics, aiming to create machines that can understand and interact with the physical world in ways similar to humans. While initial investment costs for advanced models will be high, the penetration of budget-friendly utility robots will signal the arrival of practical robotics applications in everyday life—akin to the initial rollout of smartphones.
