We led the age of industrial robots.
But will we lead the age of intelligent robots?
Germany and Europe are exceptionally strong in industrial automation, engineering and manufacturing.
But humanoid robotics combines AI, hardware, batteries, supply chains, software and rapid real-world iteration in a different way.
China is playing this new game aggressively. Understanding that shift is essential for anyone thinking about the future of industry.
