Spirit AI Founder Predicts Humanoid Robot Brain Breakthrough by 2027
Chinese startup Spirit AI anticipates a breakthrough in humanoid robot intelligence by mid-2027, comparable to OpenAI's GPT-3 model. While hardware advances enable robots to perform complex physical tasks, software development remains the main challenge. Spirit AI's robots currently achieve a 90% success rate in simple tasks within structured environments, with industrial deployment expected within two years. However, home use may take at least eight years due to data limitations. The company has deployed robots in production lines and raised significant funding since its 2024 founding.
