Summary from the TLDR newsletter

A handful of companies will be deploying their humanoid robots in commercial pilot projects this year. This article looks at the current state of humanoid robots and whether they're ready for work.

The pilot tests this year will determine whether their potential will translate into a fundamental shift in how repetitive labor is done.
