Do robots have to be humanoid? Anyway, probably within the next 5-10 years we will have robots capable to do e.g. many of our daily chores (cooking, cleaning you name it).
"Today [3/2/2023], a robotics startup called Figure is unveiling “the world’s first commercially viable general purpose humanoid robot,” called Figure 01. ...
We [IEEE Spectrum] are generally skeptical of announcements like these, where a company comes out of stealth with ambitious promises and some impressive renderings but little actual hardware to demonstrate along with them. What caught our eye in Figure’s case is its exceptionally qualified robotics team, led by its chief technology officer, Jerry Pratt. Pratt spent 20 years at the Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition (IHMC), where he led the team that took second place at the DARPA Robotics Challenge Finals. Working with DRC Atlas, NASA’s Valkyrie, and most recently Nadia, IHMC has established itself as a leader in robot design and control. "
