When we look into a future co-shaped by artificial intelligence (AI) and humanoid robots, we feel as if we have stepped straight into the script of a science fiction movie. "AI will probably be smarter than any individual as early as next year. By 2029, it will probably be smarter than all humans combined," says Elon Musk, which opens the door to a world full of extraordinary possibilities and imminent challenges. Predictions that certain professions, such as accounting and translation, will die out are an inevitable reality. But at the same time, we hoped that some fields, such as physiotherapy, would remain safe from the digital takeover. But now it seems that robotics, which is developing at an incredible speed, will begin to replace even these professions in the next ten years.

When we encounter a vision of the future, we often look at a world where robots not only exist, but also actively shape our everyday lives. With the latest development from Boston Dynamics, where they unveiled their electric version of the Atlas robot, it seems that future is just around the corner. The new Atlas is not only a technical marvel, but a platform that promises to revolutionize industrial applications. Atlas is a robotic revolution!
Figure 02, an upgraded version of the humanoid robot, brings remarkable improvements such as the ability to talk to people, self-repairs and advanced arms with 16 degrees of freedom. The robot has already been tested at the BMW factory and promises to revolutionize production.
BMW is known for introducing innovative technologies into its production processes, but this time it is something completely new. For the first time, they tested the use of a humanoid robot called Figure 02, developed by the California company Figure. At BMW's plant in Spartanburg, USA, it was tested for several weeks under real production conditions, where it successfully inserted sheet metal parts into special fixing points – a task that requires a high degree of skill.
