Meet three leading humanoid robot companies shaping the future of automation, from factory floors to warehouses, as AI-powered robots enter the workforce.

China is deploying AI-powered robots to manage traffic and pedestrian flow in cities. NBC News’ Janis Mackey Frayer explains how China continues to advance robot technology and is pushing to integrate humanoid robots into daily life.

Ai-Da Robot became the first humanoid robot to design a building with a modular Space Pod concept for Moon and Mars bases, featured at the Utzon Center in Denmark.

Chinese humanoid robot companies are expanding globally, piling pressure on Elon Musk’s Optimus before it reaches mass production.

In the Q4 earnings call for Tesla, Elon Musk said the Fremont factory would stop production of Model S and X vehicles, and instead, it will pivot to producing Optimus robots.

A new humanoid robot named Sprout, developed by Fauna Robotics, is making its debut. Unlike sleek and powerful-looking machines from companies like Tesla, Sprout is designed to be approachable and friendly.

The Fremont factory will still manufacture Model 3 and Y, but the space where Model S and X are made will instead focus on mass production of Tesla's Gen 3 Optimus robots.

Humanoid robots are set to soak up a whopping 75 GWh of solid-state battery capacity between now and 2035 – nearly 1500x growth!

In a striking display of agility and grace, a humanoid robot named "Adam-U Ultra" has danced its way through a complex, highly energetic routine without faltering, slipping or missing a beat.

Fauna Robotics’ Sprout encourages human interactions with an expressive face and a soft foam body.

Elon Musk said at the World Economic Forum in Davos that Tesla plans to offer its Optimus humanoid robots for public sale by the end of 2027, setting a target for the program. Speaking with BlackRock CEO Larry Fink on Thursday,
