The likelihood of having 200,000 humanoid robots in the U.S. workforce within the next two years is increasingly plausible, particularly with Agility Robotics already ramping up production in Salem. Agility’s advancements, along with efforts from other companies like Tesla, Boston Dynamics, and Hanson Robotics, are accelerating the push toward integrating humanoid robots into various industries. The fact that mass production has begun in Salem marks a significant step toward achieving these ambitious numbers. However, challenges such as the high costs of deployment, ensuring reliable AI for complex tasks, and integrating these robots into diverse work environments remain. Despite these hurdles, with multiple companies advancing in this space and manufacturing already underway, the goal of 200,000 humanoid robots in the workforce within two years is ambitious but increasingly within reach.
