French Leader Says Robots Key to AI's Future

Robots will be vital for bringing AI into the physical world, says Pollen Robotics' head Matthieu Lapeyre at CES in Las Vegas.

"The robot is the interface that will allow AI to move from the digital world to the physical world," Lapeyre told reporters.

Companies already use AI-powered robots in hospitals, factories and stores. Pollen Robotics showed their latest human-friendly robots at CES.

Hospitals and warehouses lead in adopting these robots due to their need for precise automation. Education and entertainment sectors move more slowly.

High costs and technical challenges slow wider robot adoption. Making AI work smoothly with robots remains difficult.

Pollen Robotics sees robots bridging digital AI and physical tasks. They continue developing new ways for robots and AI to work together.

The company believes this combination will transform how machines assist people.
