In the early 1900s, horses were the backbone of transportation. Within 15 years, automobiles replaced them, transforming how people and goods moved across America. Fast forward to today, we are on the brink of a similar transformation—but this time, humans are the ones being replaced. As humanoid robots rise in capability, we are about to witness a disruption in labor akin to what happened with horses a century ago.
The concept is simple: just as cars with internal combustion engines disrupted horse-drawn carriages, a new “labor engine” consisting of sensors, AI, actuators, and advanced power systems is poised to disrupt human labor. This revolution is inevitable, and it will reshape industries and societies as we know them.
Humanoid robots are at the heart of this labor disruption, equipped with sensors (cameras, pressure sensors, microphones), powerful AI software, and actuators that allow them to interact with objects in their environment. Additionally, advancements in battery technology now enable robots to operate for hours at a time, performing labor-intensive tasks that previously required human effort.
