The world has always been changing. Each era has had technological wonders compared to its predecessors, which mankind has created with its creative power and strong will. From inventions such as the wheel and fire to the steam engine and medical achievements, it has always shown the relentless effort of mankind to improve life on Earth. This time, however, it is the turn of AI robots to create a tremendous transformation in human lives. This article is a review of the latest achievements in this field.
The New World with AI robots
Robots are overcoming their usual limitations. You may remember videos of robots stumbling while walking. Well, the latest news is that those stumbling days are over, and robots have been able to overcome many of their limitations with the help of artificial intelligence. In many countries, the use of robots in cleaning, cooking, and even healthcare is on the rise, and trust in these innovative human tools has become more feasible than ever before. The year 2024 was the year when the general public became familiar with the concept of artificial intelligence. Although this concept has been studied scientifically for decades, it was in this year that people around the world were introduced to the term artificial intelligence. The year 2025 can be considered a turning point in the unveiling of robots equipped with artificial intelligence. It is expected that in the new year, more common robots, interacting with people’s everyday lives, will be unveiled, and the functionality of these robots in daily life will significantly increase. According to findings reported by the Wall Street Journal, the investment in the robotics sector reached $12.8 billion in 2024, showing an upward trend compared to previous years.

What stage are AI robots?
Robots still have many mistakes. Many activities that are easy and comfortable for today’s humans are still difficult for robots. But we must admit that the learning process of robots is growing rapidly and it is predicted that these robots will be able to perform a large part of human tasks in the next decade. It seems that the robotics industry can be considered as one of the most profitable and popular industries in the public consumption of people in the coming years. Robots in the past were only dependent on the software codes that were given to them. If they were faced with an issue that was not in their current programs, they would face problems. For example, robots that were assigned to cleaning tasks would face problems as soon as they encountered a simple unplanned situation. But now the story has changed. Artificial intelligence can overcome these limitations of robots. Today, other robots are connected to artificial intelligence technologies, and a robot can use artificial intelligence, neural networks, deep learning, and … to examine, analyze, and ultimately make decisions about new situations. You must have worked with Chat GPT. Now you can ask Chat GPT to guide you on a specific issue. Now suppose this Chat GPT is connected to a device called a robot. Just like when the soul is placed in the body. The soul needs a tool to move and act on its thoughts. The body has the same role. Now suppose this artificial intelligence is connected to a movement tool, which is the robot. The subject becomes interesting and maybe a little scary. Like the movie Artificial Intelligence, so what we are facing now and I think we have to accept and deal with it are robots that are constantly becoming smarter. They think, make decisions, and take action. This is exactly what we are facing today. It seems that 2025 will be the year of the boom in the industry of humanoid AI robots that will perform many of the tasks of humans.
What industries are being impacted by AI robots?
It seems that many industries are involved in this issue. The entertainment and hospitality industry is the closest industry. Robots can serve humans as a tool for games and entertainment and even as tools for catering and cleaning. You will soon see robots cleaning hotels instead of human service workers. Chefs who produce the desired food for you with the exact composition, taste and smell based on menus they receive from artificial intelligence (of course I mean robotic chefs) and many other entertainment and recreational services.
Manufacturing industries have also used robots for their products for years. But it seems that the use of these robots will increase in the coming years. Many repetitive human activities in production processes are being entrusted to robots. Transportation industries have also moved towards investing in the use of artificial intelligence and AI robots instead of humans in transportation. Google and Tesla’s self-driving cars are no longer a dream but a reality on today’s streets. The medical industry is also affected by these changes. It is predicted that in the coming years, the use of AI robots with much greater accuracy than humans can reduce human error in the medical sector. The World Health Organization has estimated that more than 134 million adverse events occur annually due to inadequate conditions in hospitals, which leads to the death of 2.6 million people. Well, these medical errors can be reduced by smart robots.
What should we do?
Many people are worried about future developments. Some of these concerns are due to possible harm that can occur as a result of the activities of AI robots. Some of these concerns are also related to job loss. Many people are concerned that they will lose their jobs with the advent of these technologies. But I think these concerns are both right and wrong. Although artificial intelligence robots can become uncontrollable and harm human life, I don’t know of any good thing in the world that doesn’t have a dark side. Water is a symbol of purity, thirst quenching, and peace for us, but this same water can create huge tsunamis that disrupt human life. We humans have learned to adapt to the dangers and problems of the world around us. It has always been like that. In my opinion, these new tools can also have many advantages that ultimately help control humans and improve the quality of life. But about job loss, yes, many common jobs in the world will disappear. But this is not new. Are humans currently plowing their fields? Of course not. Modern agricultural machines have replaced humans who did this thousands or even hundreds of years ago. So what is the man who used to plow doing now? That’s right, he is sitting on a large plow, turning on the machine with a button and listening to music playing on his mobile phone at the same time. This is also true for the future of industries. We must learn to upgrade ourselves. Since the beginning of history, man has tried to transform traditional and manual tasks into automated tasks with his inventions. This has given humans the opportunity to engage in more intellectual activities. Today’s man is much smarter than previous generations. What today’s man does is sometimes something that thousands of people could not do in previous years. So instead of worrying, let’s start now and learn new skills and prepare ourselves for further advancement towards smart tasks and creative activities.
