Humanoid robot demos draw attention but experts say too early to replace humans
Humanoid robots are rapidly improving in their ability to perform tasks, but analysts and researchers say it will take years before they can meaningfully replace human labor. Demos by robotics firm Figure AI drew attention, yet questions remain over adaptability, reliability and costs in real-world settings. Experts say robots are most likely to replace repetitive physical work in structured environments, while AI may more readily replace administrative tasks. Charging, maintenance, safety and regulation are cited as barriers to broader deployment.

Human intern narrowly beats Figure AI humanoid in 10-hour parcel sorting test
A public test comparing productivity between a humanoid robot and a human worker ended with a narrow win for the human intern. Figure AI’s F.03 sorted 12,732 packages in 10 hours, while intern Aime handled 12,924. Average speeds differed by about 0.04 seconds per package. The robot briefly led while the intern took breaks. Figure AI CEO Brett Adcock said it would be the last time a human wins.

DeepSeek V4 Pro nears GPT-5-level performance, rated best Chinese AI model
DeepSeek’s latest model, DeepSeek V4 Pro, is about 8 months behind top U.S. AI models, a U.S. government-affiliated assessment showed. The AI Standards and Innovation Center under NIST said it delivered the highest performance among Chinese AI models, scoring about 200 points above Kimi K2.5. CAISI also rated it more cost-efficient than comparable models, outperforming OpenAI’s GPT-5.4 Mini on 5 of 7 benchmarks.
