Amazon’s chief roboticist says humanoid robots aren’t ready for real work, stressing practicality over flashy tech.
Amazon’s chief roboticist, Tye Brady, says humanoid robots shown at recent tech events are not yet ready to transform physical labor, calling them "technology for technology’s sake."
While companies like Unitree and Xpeng showcase advanced humanoid models with AI and mobility, Brady emphasizes Amazon’s focus on practical, functional robotics—like its one million warehouse robots—that handle repetitive tasks safely and efficiently.
He warns that true progress requires reliable manipulation and sensing, not just bipedal movement, and that widespread automation remains years away due to challenges in cost, durability, and real-world adaptability.
