From racetracks and boxing rings to factory floors and restaurants – Asia has been a frontrunner in robot adoption. Firms in the region are pushing the boundaries of innovation to make machines that look more like us. The third episode of Bloomberg Tech: Asia explores the flashy humanoid developments coming out of China with one of the country’s rising stars — plus, insights on the future of Japan (and humanity) with the man known as the ‘father of humanoids,’ Hiroshi Ishiguro. Counterpoint Research joins anchors Shery Ahn and Annabelle Droulers to discuss whether the humanoid hype has legs.
