Spirit AI predicts humanoid robots could handle natural-language, multi-step physical tasks by mid-2027, with factories likely to adopt them first. The post Humanoid Robots May Get Their ‘ChatGPT Moment’ by Mid-2027 appeared first on TechRepublic .
Humanoid robots are set to compete in the world's largest robot sports event in Beijing. According to Spirit AI, humanoid robots could soon perform complex physical tasks using natural language instructions by mid-2027. Gao Yang, Spirit AI's co-founder and chief scientist, predicts that robots will be able to take spoken commands and execute a series of physical actions, much like the GPT-3 language model did for natural language processing.
The technology is being tested in production lines at CATL and JD.com, with industrial applications expected to be implemented first, followed by commercial service settings. Spirit AI has already deployed tens of its Moz1 wheeled humanoid robots in factories. Gao expects that reliability will be the key factor in determining whether this technology becomes a viable business case, rather than impressive demonstrations.
