But humanoid robots are still a long way from doing lots of different jobs on command, whatever the marketing says.<\/p>\n<p>The gap was easy to spot at the Robotics Summit in Boston in late May. The glossy brochures promised one thing. The people who actually build the machines said another.<\/p>\n<p>Elon Musk loves to show off his Optimus prototype, recently filmed jogging in short strides. Figure 03, a third-generation robot developed by Figure AI, can tidy and clean a living room by itself.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>China\u2019s AgiBot and Matrix Robotics say their robots can greet visitors, serve coffee and give them a tour, a little like C-3PO from \u201cStar Wars.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The reality is more modest.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost of the humanoids you see are being teleoperated, or they\u2019ve got very specific paths and chores that they do,\u201d said Chris Matthieu of startup RealSense, which makes cameras for robots.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In other words, many are either run by a human with a remote control or stuck doing one narrow task.<\/p>\n<p>Take Neo, the robot that 1X launched with great fanfare last October. It was billed as \u201cthe world\u2019s first consumer-ready humanoid robot designed to transform life at home\u201d \u2014 but was actually steered by a person off to the side.<\/p>\n<p>Progress is real, though, and artificial intelligence is driving it. \u201cI think AI has extremely accelerated that growth,\u201d said William Okazaki of sensor maker Renesas.<\/p>\n<p>One big hurdle is the hands. Long the holy grail of robotics, they are getting close: robots can now grip with a delicate touch, and some sensors can even tell when they are touching human skin.<\/p>\n<p>Much of this comes from a new kind of AI known as a VLA model, short for vision-language-action. It blends written instructions with what a camera sees in real time, so the robot can link what it is looking at to what it should do.<\/p>\n<p>There is also the \u201cworld model\u201d \u2014 an AI that learns from vast amounts of images and video until it can predict what will happen next in the real world, such as how an object will shift when it is squeezed.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Hunt for data \u2014<\/p>\n<p>But an android that can do a bit of everything is still years off.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor general purpose robots, it will take longer,\u201d said Daniel Fan of Innodisk, which makes parts for robots.<\/p>\n<p>Plenty of humanoids are already out in the world \u2014 Boston Dynamics\u2019 Atlas at Hyundai, Hexagon Robotics\u2019 AEON at a BMW site \u2014 but these are trials, not final products.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUntil you actually get the robot actually trying to do the thing you think it can do, you don\u2019t really know,\u201d said Charlie Kemp of Hello Robot, which sells robots for people with limited mobility.<\/p>\n<p>Running fully on their own, at scale, is not yet possible, \u201cbecause there is not enough data,\u201d said Xinrui Bi of AgiBot.<\/p>\n<p>To gather it, companies are setting up cameras everywhere to record human movement \u2014 from people cooking at home to workers in a textile workshop in India.<\/p>\n<p>The stakes are higher than for a chatbot like ChatGPT. A robot acts in the physical world, so its mistakes can hurt someone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you want to move into a more social domain, it really has to be safe for the users around the robot,\u201d said Valentino Fagard of Japan\u2019s XELA Robotics, which works on giving robots a sense of touch.<\/p>\n<p>Engineers can set limits \u2014 telling the machines not to grip too hard, or not to get too close to a person. But there is a catch. Like chatbots, these AI systems don\u2019t always behave the same way twice, which makes them hard to predict.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe issue with, call it the world model, or the end-to-end VLA, is they\u2019re non-deterministic, they\u2019re a black box,\u201d said John Black of Brain Corp, whose robots stick to a very specific task, like cleaning floors or checking store shelves.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re nowhere close to reaching the safety levels required,\u201d he said, because even the people who build these systems can not fully see why they do what they do.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
