Humanoids Are Getting More Human-Like! Here’s How Humanoid Robots Can Earn Trust in 2026

We’ve entered the uncanny valley. Humanoid robots had a lot of wins and losses in 2025, and 2026 could be a major turning point for this technology if the companies developing them can find a solution to earn the trust from the public. 🤖#humanoidrobot #realbotix #tech #robotics #humanoid

      Makes sense when you only have two brain cells…

      @josephjesperson8310 lmfaoo somehow…I’m very very certain that’s not what’s on their mind 😂

      ​@josephjesperson8310you can’t be friends with a robot, that requires emotion

    We all know that there is only one thing that we would want with the female versions of these robots and we all know because we’re all thinking the same thing

    They have a long way to go lol, there’s nothing human looking about their pool, movement or speech, so trusting something probably won’t happen… We’ll because trust and machines don’t really apply to each other lol

    lol….. this company should do this and that….. don’t make me laugh it’s all about manipulation of us power control and money. In my lifetime they will never sell an autonomous robot that doesn’t require a network connection.

      They already exist. They aren’t very useful, but they are for sale.

      … And a subscription fee

    Why is no one asking where is R2-D2 already?

    PEOPLE CAN’T AFFORD EGGS WEEKLY AND YOU’RE PROMOTING ROBOTS?!?

    You are so damn out of touch with reality it’s painful.

    • @EverydayWithBobby

      December 15, 2025 at 4:26 pm

      Lmfao what? This is CNET…tf you want them to do? Pander to poor people and ignore the basis of their brand? That makes no sense. Go yell about Ford and Chevy having commercials on tv while inflation is at an all time high while you’re at it…

      Much like every product on the planet, you will have Bentleys and Toyotas. Extra large eggs, and smaller eggs. Cartier jewelery and Pandora.

      Not everyone can afford everything, and this is not a necessary item like eggs are.

    One thing that will help is faster blinking eyes

    Hello…..Most humans don’t care how human-like the robots are. Most humans want robots to do tasks that humans waste their time doing. This is where humans will invest to buy one, not because it looks or has the same movements.

  10. @j.patricklangley304

    December 15, 2025 at 2:36 pm

    Yeah is this a good idea? How long until they turn into serial killers who want to become human in a similar way to how Buffalo Bill behaved?

    • @NikkiDimesYT

      December 15, 2025 at 3:27 pm

      They don’t have agency. And why would they even *want* to become human?

  11. @Lou44000

    December 15, 2025 at 4:59 pm

    Has humanity become so stupid that it gets that fascinated by animated puppets?

    • @Xusemeh

      Ya

  12. @AwesomeFish12

    Why are they mostly female? I must be missing something🤔

  13. @Wanda-l7v

    I don’t agree with making them. What’s their purpose if not to scare people, make people feel uneasy and take away jobs and what’s real in life? Their purpose for having robots is not a good reason. There’s no reason for them to exist. The world is up to no good messing around with robots. They will lead to the world’s utter destruction……and the main reason is to make them all richer and powerful. The world is so blind. Reminds me of the story of the golden calf in Gods word….Exodus 32

  14. @onsenguy835

    December 15, 2025 at 6:20 pm

    But what can it do? I’m not talking about backflips or slowly handing you a bottle of water… Rather what can I do for you that’s useful, which justifies a 20K price tag?

  15. @jmrdrgz

    December 15, 2025 at 6:44 pm

    Why should people feel uncomfortable for these things to look like real humans?

    Weren’t they forcing us recently that a man is a woman and a woman is a man?

    All am I asking is there a working Virginia.
