[News Today] AI robots take center stage at CES

[LEAD]
At this year's CES, AI-powered robots are stealing the spotlight.

From humanoid machines to robots working in homes and factories, the technology is quickly moving from show floors into everyday life.

A robot dances gracefully with each of its joints moving seamlessly.

This is the next-generation humanoid robot Atlas unveiled for the first time by Boston Dynamics, Hyundai Motor Group's U.S.-based robotics subsidiary.

It can lift up to 50kg of weight.

Its joints can rotate 360 degrees, while its hands can even sense touch.

What's more, the robot can transport materials on its own at Hyundai's factory in Georgia.

This lets Atlas move even more efficiently than humans, particularly in manufacturing environments where every second counts.

The company aims to deploy the robot at industrial sites within two years, mainly for dangerous or repetitive tasks.

There's also a robot that can perform household chores.

It's still a bit clumsy, but it can help humans with simple cooking and laundry.

Cloid, could you fetch some milk?
Robots are no longer just for exhibitions.
They see, decide and move, becoming part of everyday life.

Robots have advanced enough to make decisions and move on their own, as well as recognize human actions to communicate.

They can work as a team with people by adjusting speed and force to their human partner's movements.

Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, once said that AI and robots will transform industries by merging into the so-called "physical AI."

These manufacturing plants are going to be essentially gigantic robots.
Incredible, isn't that, right?

With robots coming into people's homes and workplaces, the question now is not when people will start living with them, but how far robots will penetrate our lives.
