AI-powered humanoid robots could take over large sections of factory work within the next five to 10 years, transforming the manufacturing industry, predicts Arm CEO Rene Haas
One of the key forces pushing humanoid robots into factories is their advantage over the robotic arms and other automation machinery in use today, Haas said. Traditional factory robots are purpose-built machines designed for a single task, with both hardware and software optimized for that specific function. General purpose humanoid robots by contrast, combined with increasingly sophisticated “physical AI” that helps navigate the real world, will be able to take on different jobs on the fly with quick modifications to their instructions.
“I think in the next five years, you’re going to see large sections of factory work replaced by robots—and part of the reason for that is that these physical AI robots can be reprogrammed into different tasks,” Haas said at Fortune Brainstorm AI in San Francisco on Monday.

I mean is this news? We have always been pushing manifacturering to automation

China already has automated large sections of their manufacturing. They are a good decade ahead of the US in this.

BS. There are so many things that go wrong with setup and parts and wear, that i dont see a robot being able to work around.

And once they build their clanker workers, they’ll have clankers building clankers. And those of us that aren’t rich? We’ll just have to get busy dying to decrease the surplus population.

Horseshit. Humanoid robots are vastly less efficient than purpose built machines, and those pay for themselves very quickly to offset their cost and specificity. Better to whole-ass one thing than half-ass your entire production chain.

This, at least from places like Amazon, has been in the making for decades. The deep ergonomic study, looking at ways to reduce unnecessary movements led to a focus on changing warehouses to have the shelves come to workers, so having it become the picker now becomes replaced by a bot isn’t that unrealistic.

They are already doing this in china. Probably why their unemployment rate is so high.
