Ever wonder who makes and supplies the components for humanoid #robots? The structure of a typical humanoid robot can be divided into three major layers: 1. The AI system is the “brain” it's mainly comprised of the AI chip and AI algorithm, oversees information processing and decision making as well as interaction with humans. 2. The motion control system is the “little brain” and includes controller with algorithm, and in charge of motion coordination, body balancing and route navigation. 3. And the body contains hardware used for environmental data collection and execution of movement. It includes vision system, sensory system, actuators, dexterous hand, energy system and structure materials. The BOM cost of a humanoid robot expected to fall to $13,000-$17,000 per unit by 2030-2035, thanks to economy of scale and the improvement of component design. This corresponds to an over 50% decline in the BOM cost over the next five years. However, despite potential challenges the adoption of humanoid robots will follow a three-stage development trajectory in the coming decade, starting from industrial and logistic applications, then on to business services, and finally to household use: Stage 1 Development 2025-2027 Stage 2 Mass adoption for commercial use 2028-2034 Stage 3 Mass adoption for all-use 2035 and onwards And there are also major risks associated: 1. Regulatory risk 2. Availability of processor chips 3. Availability of high-end machine tools All of which could lead to slower-than-expected development of humanoid robots in the coming decade. 📖 Source https://lnkd.in/gWee9nX6 #IONAXS #JONWAYEV #CleanMobility #eMobility #ElectricCars  #FutureMobility #Batteries #Automotive  #ElectricVehicles #AutonomousVehicles  #EV #Lithium #Innovation #Sustainability  #Recycling #Future #Energy #Efficiency #Technology #AVEVAI #TomTsogt 🔔

Link to paper: https://lnkd.in/g4QuyWVb 🚀 Robonomics: The Economics, Safety and Product Implications of Humanoid Robotics We are entering the era of Physical AI—where humanoid robots step out of labs and into factories, warehouses, healthcare, and beyond. My latest research paper, “Robonomics: Economic Safety and Product Implications of Physical AI and Humanoid Robotics”, explores: 📈 The $5T market potential of humanoid robotics by 2050 ⚖️ Unit economics showing robots at $5/hour can yield >$200K NPV vs human labor 🛡️ Safety-by-design architectures aligned with ISO, IEC & NIST frameworks 🤝 Hybrid human-robot work models that augment—not just replace—human labor 💡 Business models (RaaS, outcome-based pricing) that unlock adoption The key insight? Competitive advantage won’t come from replacing workers alone, but from recomposing workflows, enabling fleet learning, and embedding trust through safety & governance. #AI #HumanoidRobotics #Robonomics #FutureOfWork #AIProductManagement

𝗙𝘂𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝗯, 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗚𝗼𝗮𝗹: 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗛𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗼𝗶𝗱 𝗧𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 We've been having some exciting times in the lab, pushing the boundaries of humanoid teleoperation! While it looks like fun and games (and it was!), this session was about evaluating, optimizing and stress testing our entire teleoperation system; we’re interested in several critical performance metrics: ⏱️ 𝗟𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆: How instantly does the robot mirror the operator's commands? ⚡ 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗺𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀: Can the robot execute rapid movements fluidly, without any jerk or stuttering? 🎯 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗞𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 (𝗜𝗞) 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘆: How accurately can our algorithm find the right joint configurations to place the robot's hands in the correct position and orientation? 🛡️ 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲: Crucially, does the IK solver always find a path that prevents the robot's arms from colliding with its own body? Inverse kinematics is a notoriously difficult problem in robotics. It's not just about handling redundant joints or the multiple possible configurations that can achieve the same target pose; our setup adds another significant layer of complexity. A real difficulty lies in 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 movements from a human operator to a kinematically different robot. We're translating the motion of longer human arms (with three muti-axial joints) to the robot's shorter arms (with seven single-axis joints). Bridging this kinematic gap smoothly and accurately is a huge technical challenge! This kind of dynamic, "human-on-robot" testing is invaluable for refining the nuanced control required for the next generation of advanced humanoid applications. Stay tuned as we continue to push the limits of humanoid robotics! #Robotics #Humanoids #Teleoperation #InverseKinematics #Innovation #Engineering #Research Tim Ensor, Sally Epstein, Kary Bheemaiah, Riccardo Secoli, Max Middleton, Dominic Rugg-Gunn, Iain Smith, Cambridge Consultants, Capgemini Invent,

Notes from the Teleops field: from flashy demos to the unglamorous work of solving fundamental challenges. Last week I shared thoughts on the role of VLA models and contact physics in Physical AI deployment. The fun post below from Joe reinforces what I was talking about. Teleoperation remains a critical bridge technology, not because autonomy isn’t the goal, but because the path to reliable, scalable deployment requires us to understand how humans and machines can work together effectively. What Joe highlights here is the practical side of robotics that doesn’t always make headlines: the iterative process, the technical nuances, the operational constraints. This is the work that actually moves the needle. A case in point from our own work: We’ve been testing improvements to motion speed and smoothness in our teleoperation setup. The inverse kinematics (IK)was producing inaccurate, juddery motion - a problem that stems from retargeting human arm movements (with 3 ball joints and longer reach) to robot arms (with 7 single-axis joints and shorter reach). IK is a fundamentally hard problem, and solving it requires methodical engineering work. It’s fixed now, but these are the kinds of challenges that don’t generate buzz - yet they’re essential to making systems actually work. For those of us building in this space, the focus needs to be on pragmatic solutions that acknowledge where we are today while working methodically toward where we need to be tomorrow. Whether it’s teleoperation for data generation, hybrid autonomy approaches, or solving contact manipulation challenges—it’s all part of the same journey. The hype has its place, but the real progress happens in the details. #Robotics #Humanoids #Teleoperation #PhysicalAI #VLA #PragmaticInnovation

What is Robotics? Robotics is the interdisciplinary field that combines engineering, computer science, and AI to design, build, and operate robots. Robots are widely used in manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, and exploration, enabling automation of tasks that are repetitive, dangerous, or require high precision. #GÜRİŞTeknoloji #GÜRİŞTechnology #GTEK #guris #güriş #technology #ai #ArtificialIntelitgence #GeleceğinTeknolojisi #inovasyon #innovation #Robotics #AI
