A global scramble to make humanoid robots is gearing up to be the 21st century's space race

The space race between the US and the Soviet Union symbolized the pursuit of scientific dominance and geopolitical supremacy. Today, nations are jockeying to develop functional humanoid robots, with Saudi Arabia, China, and the US emerging as key players. Saudi Arabia is heavily investing in robotics, while China aims to mass produce advanced-level humanoids by 2025. Several US companies, including Agility Robotics and Figure AI, are also making strides in this field. These humanoid robots represent symbols of power and technological prowess, with the potential to increase a nation's perceived power by expanding its workforce and population. However, despite the hype, the industry is still in the early stages, and challenges exist in deploying robots at scale.
