Humanoid robots poised for 'GPT-3.5 moment' within 5 years, says AGIBOT co-founder

The co-founder of Chinese robotics firm AGIBOT, Yao Maoqing, predicts that humanoid robots will reach a "GPT-3.5 moment" within the next three to five years, signifying a leap in their ability to perform common, everyday tasks. This advancement is expected to follow the scaling laws observed in large language models, with increased data and parameter counts leading to greater intelligence. While AGIBOT leads in humanoid robot shipments, other companies like Keenon Robotics are exploring applications in hospitality, and UBtech Robotics is focusing on industrial uses, though challenges remain in achieving the necessary stability and cost-effectiveness for widespread adoption.
