Factory Humanoid Robots: Discerning Fact from Fiction
The use of humanoid robots in factories faces significant challenges, with Gartner forecasting that by 2028, fewer than 20 companies will utilize them at scale. Despite the promise of these robots, their technology remains immature, and many companies struggle with high costs and safety concerns. Instead, manufacturers are turning to polyfunctional robots, which are more effective for industrial tasks. Additionally, a skills gap among workers may hinder the successful integration of advanced robotics. Analysts recommend pilot programs to test humanoid robots in controlled environments rather than expecting immediate widespread adoption.
