Trump’s Return Sees Race Heat Up
Huang’s comments don’t exist in a vacuum. Across the world, the race to develop advanced humanoid robots is progressing at breakneck speed. This week, European robotics company Neura Robotics revealed that it was to launch the so-called “best robot on the market” as early as June, known as 4NE-1.
Meanwhile, the newest iteration of Boston Dynamics’s Atlas robot was filmed breakdancing in a video posted to YouTube on March 19. And Apollo, a human-like machine created by Apptronik, this week assembled an engine part in a live demonstration of its prowess.
Since Trump returned to the White House, tech activity has reached fever pitch in the US, with companies across the space investing heavily in innovation and development. Against a backdrop of unfolding international trade wars, there’s an extra incentive for this increase in activity – putting US tech squarely on the map.
