Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang forecasted a rapid arrival of humanoid robots in manufacturing, stating that widespread use in factory settings is likely within the next few years.
Speaking to a packed crowd at the company’s annual developer conference in San Jose, California, Huang emphasized that the transition is closer than many might expect.
During his keynote address, delivered in front of a bustling hockey stadium, Huang unveiled new software tools aimed at enhancing the ability of humanoid robots to navigate complex environments. “When, literally, humanoid robots are wandering around, it won’t be a five-years-away problem—it’s a few-years-away problem,” Huang told journalists afterward.
Huang noted that manufacturing facilities are the ideal starting point for such innovations, given the controlled nature of factory tasks. “I think it ought to go to factories first. The domain is much more guard-railed, and the use case is much more specific,” he explained, adding that the economic benefits are clear. He mentioned that the going rate for renting a humanoid robot is likely around $100,000, suggesting strong economic incentives for early adoption in industrial settings.
As Nvidia continues to drive advancements in artificial intelligence and robotics, Huang’s remarks underscore a broader shift in technology that could soon transform traditional manufacturing processes.
