Description
Humanoid robots have arrived to New York City, and they're ready for purchase!
In this episode of NYC Innovates, we visit Koid Shop, NYC's first retail location dedicated to general-purpose humanoid robots. We meet the companies building the future: Catena's avatar control technology, Inspired's socially-aware robots with personality, and AGIBOTs AI-powered dancers. We discuss the price barriers, safety concerns, and the real-world applications transforming everything from airports to your home. The biggest questions remain: how will these robots do in the consumer market? and would you buy one?
