I wanted to repost this important article on the future of humanoid robots that is here. In essence, the transhumanist technocratic vision is to replace 90% of the labor force by robots. Essentially it is not just fusing humans with technology, creating Cyborgs and then phasing the human part out, but also to create AI controlled humanoid robots in every aspect of our lives. This then also begs the question of what happens when AI renders humans to primitive to keep around. If the projected amounts of humanoid robots are 100 Million in the US alone, I hope you realize they are produced to replace human jobs and usefulness in society. Human labor will be obsolete.

Top 6 Humanoid Robot Companies To Consider As A New Trend Potentially Takes Off
EV maker Nio testing use of humanoid robots on factory production line ( source )
Dec. 2023 - BYD may be using products from humanoid robot maker UBTech in its production lines, report says.... "As of December 10, UBTech had more than 900 enterprise customers and had sold more than 760,000 robots, according to its prospectus."
Feb. 2024 - Walker S: Revolutionizing Electric Vehicle Manufacturing with Humanoid Robots
1X Technologies | Androids Built to Benefit Society - Has two humanoid/android models, EVE (wheeled android) and NEO (walking android). EVE is available now to purchase, and NEO is under development. They are using AI learning to improve at basic tasks over time. You can view a video of the robots working in a factory setting here .
AgiBot - Aims to bring a humanoid to market for only CNY 200,000 ($27,468) . You can view a video showing their humanoid robot here .
Clone Robotics - Clone is building low-cost, biomimetic, and intelligent androids, trained to perform all the common labor for daily life.
Unitree Robotics - Details and a video of their humanoid robot Unitree H1 here . The robot can run and has "potential athletic performance>5m/s" and can already run at 3.3m/s . They are reported to have a humanoid robot for less than US$90,000 .
Note: You can also consider exposure to AI ETFs such as Global X Artificial Intelligence & Technology ETF ( AIQ ) and ROBO Global Artificial Intelligence ETF ( THNQ ).
Technology issues - Which company can develop the leading technology, the race is on. How capable will humanoid robots become. This depends largely on how well their AI (essentially the robot's brain/software) develops.
The high cost of humanoid robots may slow adoption - GS says a robots cost between US$30,000 (high-end robot) and US$150,000 (high-end robot) to produce. Macquarie Research says a standard humanoid robot production cost in 2023 is US$50,000 . In many cases, traditional robots which are cheaper can do the job, so why pay more for a humanoid robot, unless it's much better. Costs typically come down dramatically once production scales up.
Public acceptance of robots that look like humans may be an issue, as well as fear over job losses. Humanoid robots look like robots in human form so should be largely acceptable; however Android robots (aim for robots to be aesthetically pleasing) can mimic humans and may therefore have some acceptance issues.
Legal and indemnity issues around robot accidents.
Company issues - Management, liquidity, debt, ability to raise huge initial amounts of capital to reach production etc.
Stock market issues - Sentiment, liquidity, dilution.
Adoption of more expensive humanoid robots than standard factory robots appears to be a key risk ( source )

Then a virus infects the systems and the elites starve to death cause they don’t know how to grow their own food (or do much of anything for themselves).
