The humanoid robot revolution is closer than you think – NVIDIA CEO

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang is confident that humanoid robots will be widely used in manufacturing in less than five years, Reuters reports.

Huang presented software tools that he said would help humanoid robots navigate the world more easily. He also said that NVIDIA is working with Google DeepMind on the Newton physics engine for robot movement.

Huang believes that the manufacturing industry will start using robots on a massive scale not even in five years, but "in a few years," because this industry has clearly defined tasks that robots can handle in a controlled environment.

“The value of it is very, very easy to determine. The going rate for renting a human robot is probably $100,000 and I think it's pretty good economics,” says Jensen Huang.
