One morning in 2050, humanoid robots and humans stand at a crossroads: about humanoid robot products, business and HRI. 📮[email protected]

In the U.S. alone, automating household activities, such as loading and unloading dishes and cleaning countertops, represents a $250 billion revenue. Compared to cars, this is a huge and blank opportunity that Apple will not miss. Humanoid is the ultimate goal but not right now.
Apple is exploring both humanoid and non-humanoid robots for its future smart home ecosystem, and these products are still in the early proof-of-concept (POC) stage internally. While the industry debates the merits of humanoid vs. non-humanoid designs, supply chain checks indicate Apple cares more about how users build perception with robots than their physical appearance (so Apple uses anthropomorphic instead of humanoid), implying sensing hardware and software serve as the core technologies. The timeline from POC to formal kick-off varies. Given current progress and typical development cycles, Apple's robot mass production likely won't start until 2028 or later. Interestingly, Apple has been unusually open about sharing some of its robotics research during the early POC stage—possibly to attract talent. People often hear about stages like NPI, EVT, and MP when discussing Apple’s product development, but POC tends to fly under the radar. Essentially, POC is Apple's testing ground, verifying whether product ideas and core technologies are viable before formal kick-off. Apple's rumored foldable phone is currently in the POC stage. However, many projects never progress beyond POC—the Apple Car is probably the most notable example of a project that got stuck at this stage.

Apptronik Apollo is now in trial operation in Amplifier warehouses, Mercedes-Benz production lines, and GXO warehouses, helping them solve labor shortages and improve operational efficiency.
BigNews: Apptronik received $350 million in Series A funding, with Google participating. Compared with OpenAI's self-developed humanoid robot, Google chose a mature startup company to participate in this physical AI game.

It would be amazing if real use cases demonstrated, as in the video, that humanoid robots could achieve human-level dexterity and adaptability.

HMND 01’s hardware and software are designed using modular concept. This allows it to incorporate different upper-body, lower-body, and end-effectors to better meet customer requirements and drive cost down by reducing nonessential hardware and software features.
UK finally joins the playground. The company called Humanoid released HMND 01, next-gen humanoid robot! With advanced AI and motion control, it's designed for real-world automation. H.1.75m and W.70 kg, move 1.5 m/s, 15 kg payload, and boasts a 4-hour runtime with 41 dof.

Such soft textiles wrap the limb joints and torso without pinch points, weakening the metallic feel of the humanoid robot, making it safe and approachable. It is applicable from factories, warehouses to supermarkets, hotels, and nursing homes.

Artem Sokolov, The founder, was inspired by his grandparents' hard work in a jewelry factory. This experience fueled his vision to develop humanoid robots that liberate people, allowing them to focus on more meaningful pursuits.

@AZ_SMB In addition to raw material cost considerations, will it improve productivity or address labor cost considerations? For example, deploying humanoid robots to perform repetitive tasks.
