Two-legged robots have a tendency to fall over and "need human intervention to get back up," like tortoises fallen on their backs. Because they're heavy and unstable, they are "currently unsafe for humans to be close to when they are walking."

Engineers and computer scientists are developing AI-powered robots that look and act human. Boston Dynamics invited 60 Minutes to watch its humanoid, Atlas, learn how to work at a Hyundai factory.

AI dominates every corner of the show floor, from chips to robots. Next-gen hardware — from TVs to AR glasses — showcases immersive future experiences.

An academic study found that large language models that drive some humanoid robots could make the machines prone to bias, discrimination and even violence.

There is no question that 2026 is already set up to be something of a continuance of 2025, at least in the sense of moving deeper into the world of AI, automation, and robotics. As companies deploy AI at scale and industrial robots continue to replace human labor slowly,

Twenty-five years of the new millennium have passed and we’re still waiting for the futuristic world we were promised: Living in space, hover-cars, jet packs and extraterrestrial encounters. However,

Qualcomm kicked off the show Monday morning by announcing a full suite of robotics technologies, designed to power everything from small household robots to full-sized humanoids. It's calling this full-stack architecture, which integrates hardware, software and AI, the Dragonwing IQ10 Series.

SwitchBot says the Onero is a general-use humanoid robot designed to eliminate housework that can complete “everyday actions such as grasping, pushing, opening, and organizing, while learning to adapt across different tasks and home scenarios.”
