Robots

The humanoid, a robot with arms and legs in human form, has appeared in stories and movies for centuries. Now he is entering our real world at lightning speed: in the workplace, on the street and maybe even in your home.

Thanks to AI and digital neural networks, humanoids have taken a giant leap in recent years, keeping their balance, jumping acrobatically, navigating unfamiliar terrain and effortlessly recognizing people and situations. The first specimens are already running in factories and household robots are also being tested in abundance.

The next few years will be decisive. Will the humanoid remain a promising technology that is just not af , or will it become affordable and usable everywhere? What will be the consequences for the labor market, public space and our daily lives at home? And is it really a good idea to give AI a body, let alone thousands of bodies? Robots offers a clear, playful and in-depth overview of the history, recent evolutie and future of these extraordinary machines.
