Robots to Join the Factory Floor—And They Don’t Need Coffee Breaks
British firm Humanoid is sending actual humanoid robots to German supplier Schaeffler’s factories—up to 2,000 of them by 2032. First stop: moving boxes in Germany, because apparently no task is too small for the robot uprising.
Meanwhile in South Korea, RLWRLD is training robots by filming hotel and warehouse workers folding napkins and lifting boxes—basically teaching machines how to adult. The goal: robots that can grab stuff without breaking it... or your job prospects.
By 2028, Hyundai, Samsung, and others plan to fill factories with humanoids. Unions aren’t thrilled. Workers say, “We built these factories.” Robots say... nothing. Yet.
From Chatbots to Boss Bots: Deloitte Says It’s Time for AI to Do the Actual Work
Deloitte’s Prakul Sharma says making chatbots summarize emails is cute—but real money comes when AI stops talking and starts doing. The next frontier? “Autonomous intelligence,” or robots that run your business while you sip coffee (with guardrails, of course).
Forget perfect data or fancy pilots—Deloitte’s warning that most corporate AI projects fall apart because they skip the boring stuff: governance, identity, and data that isn’t three weeks old. Sharma’s advice? Build AI like it’s meant to scale, not just impress your board.
In short: the future isn’t ChatGPT—it’s an AI intern that never sleeps, never calls HR, and actually files the expense reports.
