Toyota said it’s made a breakthrough with AI in teaching robots to learn and Boston Dynamics, which was bought by Hyundai in 2020, has had commercial success with its robotic guard dog and a mobile robotic arm for re-stocking warehouses. Their collaboration comes as a potential challenge to other smart bot programs such as the Optimus robot showcased last week by rival Tesla Inc. A number of humanoid robot startups also are attracting attention — and billions of dollars in capital. Boston Dynamics retired its hydraulic Atlas robot in April and debuted the electric update shown below.
The race for commercial humanoids is heating up fast — and this partnership represents a major power move. But with the likes of Tesla’s Optimus, Figure’s 01 humanoids, and others in the mix, there is no shortage of rivals rushing to capture the massive potential of the emerging general-purpose robots.
