Four robotics CEOs reveal why humanoid robots are finally becoming real: perception solved by AI, China's threat forcing U.S. supply chains, and a $1/hour worker economy arriving within 3–10 years. Boston Dynamics' Spot is Earth's most deployed robot; One X ships NEO in 2026 with full autonomy possible; Agility's Digit V5 eliminates safety barriers; ANYbotics dominates billion-dollar inspection markets with four-legged dogs in extreme environments. Perception was robotics' core blocker for 20 years; large language models trained on internet video have made understanding human environments nearly free, enabling real-world deployment at scale.
