They have two legs, two arms, and an AI brain. In Episode 28 of Window to the Future, we look at the incredible rise of humanoid robots like Tesla's Optimus and Figure AI. Why are we building machines in our own image? Will they take our jobs, or will they become our ultimate companions? We explore the technology, the ethics, and the "Uncanny Valley" of our robotic future.
