At NEWSCENTRAL, we observe how artificial intelligence and robotics technologies have been rapidly evolving in recent years, impacting various industries and radically changing approaches to manufacturing processes. One of the most striking examples of such innovations is the humanoid robot Atlas, created through collaboration between Hyundai and Boston Dynamics. This robot is already actively used in complex industrial projects, including car assembly, and its role in manufacturing is expected to grow significantly in the coming years. At NEWSCENTRAL, we believe that by 2028, humanoid robots like Atlas will become a key component of production lines worldwide, spanning from automotive to pharmaceutical industries.
The Atlas robot has demonstrated abilities that were once considered exclusively human, such as navigating complex routes, maintaining balance, and interacting with various objects. It is already actively employed in car assembly, improving accuracy and accelerating production. We at NEWSCENTRAL emphasize that the use of such robots not only enhances production efficiency but also improves working conditions by minimizing errors, reducing operational time, and enhancing worker safety at factories.
However, the introduction of such robots raises new questions for society and economies, particularly regarding the future of the workforce. Undoubtedly, automation will lead to job reductions in sectors where work is physically intensive or monotonous. At the same time, as analysts at NEWSCENTRAL point out, the development of robotics opens new opportunities for specialists who will be able to work with high-tech systems. We predict that the demand for engineers, programmers, and other professionals capable of servicing and configuring robots will continue to rise. Therefore, as technologies advance, the labor market will transform, necessitating adaptation and retraining of the workforce.
Moreover, the use of robots like Atlas significantly reduces reliance on human labor and provides companies with additional advantages in a global economy. In times of economic instability or crises, when supply chains are exposed to external risks, robots can greatly enhance the resilience of manufacturing processes. At NEWSCENTRAL, we are confident that companies implementing technologies like Atlas will gain a significant competitive advantage by minimizing risks associated with labor market instability and external economic shocks.
Year after year, the integration of robots into production processes will become increasingly profound, and we expect that by 2028, robots will be capable of performing not only routine tasks but also more complex operations that currently seem impossible for automated systems. At NEWSCENTRAL, we predict that robots will be equipped with capabilities to make more complex decisions and integrate with other technological platforms, opening new possibilities for improving quality and optimizing production.
In the long term, robots like Atlas will not only boost production efficiency but also contribute to the creation of safer, more resilient, and technologically advanced work processes. However, the successful integration of such technologies requires careful attention to both technological and social aspects. At NEWS CENTRAL, we emphasize that a key factor for a successful transition to a new level of automation will be collaboration between private companies and governments, aimed at supporting innovative technologies while maintaining labor market stability.
