13 million humanoid robots will work alongside humans by 2035
- By 2035, 13 million humanoid robots will be part of society, with each costing about $10,000 annually.
- Robots like Digit are already in use, performing tasks in factories and adapting to their environments.
- The extensive presence of humanoid robots raises ethical concerns and challenges regarding mental health and societal readiness.
In the near future, society is expected to undergo significant transformations due to the emergence of humanoid robots. Morgan Stanley has projected that by 2035, there could be around 13 million humanoid robots integrated into various sectors such as factories and homes. Their affordability will likely allow for widespread adoption, with costs estimated to be about $10,000 annually. These robots, including advanced models like Digit by Agility Robotics, have demonstrated their capability in performing tasks that were traditionally human roles, such as lifting and stacking objects. Many of these robots have already been deployed in U.S. factories, including plans for their use in building Nvidia servers in Houston. As robots evolve, not only in functionality but also in their interactions with human users, ethical considerations arise. The term
