Humanoid founder: robots able to do most industrial jobs "within two years"
From the Robots digest for Oct 30, 2026
What happened: Artem Sokolov, founder of London-based humanoid maker Humanoid, says robots will be able to do most industrial jobs within two years, framing the machines as a way to free people from repetitive work; the coverage itself asks whether they will actually fill labour shortages.
What's genuinely new: a dated timeline claim from a named founder — robots covering most industrial jobs by roughly late 2028 — with no task list, unit counts, named customers, or deployments behind it in the reporting.
Watch: named tasks and customers behind the two-year figure, Humanoid's funding and production footing, and whether the labour-shortage framing holds as deployments land.
