Humanoid Robot Trends to Watch in 2025
With multiple humanoid robots vying for a place in a crowded field, 2025 is shaping up to be a banner year for marching metal contraptions built to fit our imaginations.
The new electric Atlas robot has a camera on its “head.”
Last year, Boston Dynamics launched a new All-electric Atlas Robot, while retiring company icon Hydraulic Atlas (now known as HD Photo Gallery) has been famous on the internet for many years.
The new Atlas is able to move in what I call superhuman ways, a trait that is also consistent with Youshu G1: A smaller humanoid robot starting at $16,000.
Unitree’s G1 robot was shown jumping in a video recently released by the company.
While the Atlas can turn its head, torso, and limbs in ways most people can’t, the G1 can fold down to less than 3 feet, presumably for storage and transportation.
We also see that include Digits, Agile robot and 1X New partnerships with companies like Nvidia and OpenAI will leverage their hardware and software to help robots speak and perform various tasks faster than they could from scratch.
On the stage behind Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang is what appears to be a hologram of NEO Beta.
Notably, Tesla has chosen its own path, taking the data, hardware and software it developed for driver assistance in its cars and repackaging them in new forms. Optimus Prime robot.

By 2025, I expect there will be more industry partnerships, more superhuman feats, and more real-world testing as companies seek to differentiate themselves from the competition.
