JENSEN HUANG: HUMANOID ROBOTS 一 A $50 TRILLION INDUSTRY “”The world is short of workers & declining birth rate, so the world needs a lot of workers. The first use case of humanoid robots will be manufacturing. Robotics is one of the best ways for us to supplement all of that.”” https://x.com/cb_doge/status/1922605387032707124
