Experts agree that humanoid robots are among the largest future technology markets of the coming decades. Physical AI refers to AI systems that not only process information but also enable machines to perceive their environment, make decisions, and act autonomously in the real world. This forms the technological foundation for applications such as humanoid robots, autonomous vehicles, drones, and a new generation of intelligent production systems. Physical AI is thus an ecosystem that connects semiconductors, software, sensor technology, robotics, and automation. But it is not just manufacturers of humanoid robots that stand to benefit—numerous suppliers along the value chain will as well. We look at what this means specifically for First Hydrogen, XPeng and Schaeffler.
