Humanoid Robots Are No Longer Just Science Fiction — They’re Here, and Reshaping Our Future Today marks a critical turning point in the evolution of humanoid robotics. Across the globe, cutting-edge developments are accelerating toward real-world applications — and industry, retail, and healthcare are the early beneficiaries. What’s Trending: China’s Humanoid Boom: At the World Robot Conference, innovators unveiled robots that can run, dance, play soccer, sort assembly-line parts, and even play mahjong or perform music with delicate precision. Adding to that excitement, the country just opened the world’s first fully automated “Robot Mall” — robots serve as both products on display and active shopkeepers, baristas, and entertainers. Milestone Industrial Deal: A robotics startup has secured a landmark order for 100 wheeled humanoid robots to streamline manufacturing tasks — freeing human workers from repetitive and potentially hazardous labor. Pushing the Envelope on Autonomy: From Boston Dynamics’ Atlas robots to domestic service humanoids, developers are chasing the holy grail of true multi-task generalization in real-world environments — a hurdle that remains formidable. Strategic Tech Investment: Industry leaders are doubling down on performance with localized compute clusters designed to reduce latency and boost operational efficiency for humanoid platforms. #AIvideo #humanoids #robots

In this week of dialog and commitment at the AI Action Summit, I am pleased to be able to share a concrete #AI-driven breakthrough to accelerate progress in the bioeconomy.   Capgemini has developed a new methodology for protein engineering, with #AI at the heart of the process, that uses a specialized protein large language model (pLLM) to predict the most effective protein variants. This can reduce the necessary data points for protein sequence design by more than 99%, dramatically speeding up the time for R&D and reducing costs for bio solution development.   This could unlock untold business-case potential as previously unfeasible bio-based solutions become viable and along with them new opportunities to meet global challenges like combatting disease, food insecurity, and climate change. To give you just one example, the new methodology has already achieved a 60% increase in plastic degradation efficiency.   Read more about this game changer breakthrough here: https://bit.ly/4gwVgMz   #GetTheFutureYouWant
