Back then, I dreamed of riding on the shoulders of my robot friend.
In 2024, we saw a lot of humanoid robot development from a growing number of companies.

Market leader Boston Dynamics introduced thestunning Atlas 2, its most advanced and human-looking robot yet.
Figure 01, for instance, partnered withOpenAIfor some voice-based responses.
Everything I know about robotic development tells me the wait will be long.

That, of course, is not the outcome I want.
I guess Siri assumed I was under robot attack.
I switched toChatGPT 4o.

Perhaps I shouldn’t have been surprised byChatGPT’s largely optimistic response.
ChatGPT told me it was “quite possible that we’ll have advanced humanoid robots.
Technology is moving quickly, so you might see some impressive robots by then!

Would you be interested in having one?”
“Affordable” is not in the 2024 or 2025 humanoid robotics vocabulary.
I’m sorry, ChatGPT, but I don’t think you fully understand this market.

This is a question I found odd since I already told it I wanted a humanoid one.
By 2025, it’s likely we’ll see even more practical and affordable humanoid robots."
That last bit set off a red flag.

Things got more real when I switched to Claude AI and later, Gemini.
Maybe Gemini would lift me up.
After all,Googleis the land ofmoonshot projects.
Surely, they’d see the humanoid robot glass as at least half full.
Gemini, though, was even more taciturn than Claude AI.
What surprised me is that AI sits at the very top of it.
Despite all this, I look forward to an exciting 2025 in humanoid robotics.
That fun will probably start atCES 2025.
At last year’s massive tech event, I danced with a humanoid robot.
Who knows what they’ll be capable of this year.
