ROBOTICS ON THE WORLD STAGE
Want people to believe in the reality of physical AI and robots carrying out human-based tasks? There’ s arguably no better place to get that message across than at the FIFA World Cup. As Brazil took on Norway at the New York / New Jersey Stadium on 5 July, Hyundai Motor Company’ s robot handed the match ball to the referee before the second half. The robot, called Atlas, marked the first-ever integration of a humanoid robot into a live FIFA match.
