Robots that resemble humans and are controlled by artificial intelligence are no longer a vision of the future. The integration of humanoid robots into the world of work could progress faster than we think. This is because humanoid robots can operate in traditional (working) environments without the need for fundamental changes to the infrastructure.
The market for humanoid robots is being driven by exponential technological progress in the field of artificial intelligence and by demographic change in society. According to forecasts, humanoid robots could take over millions of jobs worldwide by 2050, leading to considerable cost savings and making companies more efficient. They will also be an effective tool to counter the increasing shortage of skilled workers.
Humanoid robots, for example, are set to take on a central role in car production, thereby drastically reducing labor costs and increasing production speed at the same time. Companies such as BMW and Mercedes are already testing humanoid robots in some of their production facilities.
Replacing human labor with humanoid robots could save three trillion US dollars in wages in the USA alone by 2050.
The sectors most affected by the introduction of humanoid robots will be transportation and warehousing, construction, manufacturing, agriculture, mining and healthcare.
The report not only provides a comprehensive overview of the future of intelligent humanoid robots, it also offers strategic investment opportunities and highlights the companies that will benefit most from this technology.
