As AI moves beyond screens and into the physical world, humanoid robots are learning to walk, interact and adapt to their surroundings. But why give AI a human-like body? What does a body add to intelligence, and can humanoids move beyond impressive demos to become part of everyday life?
Join this episode of THE HYPE with our guests Gao Yang, assistant professor at the Institute for Interdisciplinary Information Sciences (IIIS), Tsinghua University, and Zhang Haonan, assistant research fellow at the Institute for AI International Governance, Tsinghua University, as we explore how robots learn, why human form matters, what it takes to bring humanoids into our homes, and where we should draw the line as they become increasingly capable of understanding us.
