Humanoid robots are coming. Which industries are poised for it?

You may soon start seeing humanoid robots outside of just tech demos and trade show exhibits. Between advancements in AI and labor shortages, humanoids are being pushed to the forefront of disparate industries looking to augment their workforce. And similar to other autonomous robots like autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs) or autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), humanoids will be taking certain sectors by storm. High up on that list are manufacturing, construction, healthcare, and warehousing, which are uniquely positioned to digitally transform their operations. To help understand the lay of this humanoid landscape, we teamed up with the industrial AI and robotics experts at Siemens to learn more about the tech supporting these robots, their potential impact, and the barriers around adoption. Here’s what we found.
