Article excerpt

Boston Dynamics' humanoid robot Atlas is learning to work alongside humans on factory floors, raising questions about the future of automation. The AI-powered machine, which mimics human movement and cognition, was demonstrated to 60 Minutes at a Hyundai manufacturing facility. Engineers and computer scientists are racing to develop robots that can handle complex tasks in real-world industrial settings. The technology promises to reshape workplace dynamics, but the implications, economic, social, and technological, remain largely unexamined in this profile of the hardware itself.
