Robots competing in a half marathon? It might sound like science fiction, but it recently happened in Beijing. Humanoid robots are moving out of the lab and into the real world — and the race to bring them to market is heating up.
Skip Montreux and Dez Morgan explore the fast-growing industry of humanoid robots. From Tesla’s Optimus project to China’s state-backed 'robot schools', they discuss the companies pushing development forward, the technology powering these machines, and the economic forces shaping this emerging market.
Their conversation is a great learning resource if you want to build your English listening comprehension skills and expand your business vocabulary. Key points of their discussion include:
- Why humanoid robots ran in a recent half marathon in China.
- What Tesla, Boston Dynamics, and Unitree Robotics are doing in the robotics space.
- The strategic investments by companies like Hyundai, Toyota, and Softbank in robotics.
- How China has built a cost-effective supply chain for robot development.
