Unitree’s founder now expects a breakthrough in humanoid robots as soon as 2028, Bloomberg reports, a notably shorter timeline than his earlier prediction that intelligent machines could take a decade to go mainstream.
Why it mattersIt is a forecast, not evidence that the breakthrough is already in hand. But the shift is a useful signal of how quickly expectations are moving in humanoid robotics, where impressive demonstrations and dependable real-world capability are still different things.
Discuss: What would count as a real humanoid-robotics breakthrough by 2028: better demonstrations, or machines reliably doing useful work outside the lab?
