Are humanoid robots the future… or a $100B mistake?
Over 100 companies—from Meta to Amazon—are betting big on humanoids. But are we chasing a sci-fi dream that’s not practical or profitable?
In this TechFirst episode, I chat with Bren Pierce, robotics OG and CEO of Kinisi Robots. We cover:
Why legs might be overhyped
How LLMs are transforming robots into agents
The real cost (and complexity) of robotic hands
Why warehouse robots work best with wheels
The geopolitical robot arms race between China, the US, and Europe
Hot takes, historical context, and a glimpse into the next 10 years of AI + robotics.
