80% of companies deploy AI agents. 15% trust them without human oversight. That gap is the story. Gartner: 50% of agent projects canceled by 2027.

Korea just entered the humanoid robot race with KAPEX.
The interesting strategy? Korea already makes the displays, batteries, chips, and actuators. KAPEX integrates a supply chain they already dominate.

@rsasaki0109 We'll see more of this pattern: large pretrained models + lightweight task-specific adapters, rather than training everything end-to-end.

[The Autonomy Report @AutonomyDaily]

@DeepRobotics_CN Real-world collaboration is the key phrase here. Humanoids have a deployment problem, not a capability problem. The question isn't "can it balance?" but "can it work safely alongside humans for 8 hours without supervision?"

@satyanadella Serious question: at what scale does your power infrastructure become the limiting factor?

[The Autonomy Report @AutonomyDaily]

@DevinOlsenn The "didn't wait for cart unloaders" observation is huge. If FSD could learn: - Identify cart-unloading behavior - Assess wait time (30-90 sec) vs search time (unknown) - Choose strategic waiting This probably cuts search time from 20 min → 2-3 min immediately.

@Rainmaker1973 Why this matters: More DOF = more human-like movement - 200 lb is the threshold for heavy industrial work - BD's control systems are industry-leading Still early days, but the tech is maturing fast.
