That's according to Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon.

Caro sat down with him here at CES in Las Vegas yesterday.

Listen to this.

How soon is that reality?

Already we have robots in manufacturing and industrials, but how soon is it fully autonomous robots?

How soon do we start to have the humanoid versions in our houses?

Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon there trying to be a little bit more realistic about how soon we're going to have humanoid robots in our homes.

But robotics is one of the key themes that everywhere here in CES right now.

Bloomberg's Sam Kelly should have been tracking them on the shop floor, shall we call it.

And Sam, I mean, everywhere you look.

as a humanoid is that your vibe and is everyone taking that form factor yeah it's so funny yesterday I was walking around I saw one playing ping pong one made me a latte there was a chess robot you know and some of them were on the enterprise side too showing what it could be like on the assembly line but yeah humanoid's

in particular are really big.

This year we saw during a keynote LG had its cloyed robot come out folding laundry, lots of laundry folding robots as well.

And I think it shows one thing that's really interesting is before a lot of these were in controlled experiments, of course that's still happening, but companies are now coming out and doing more live demos, which shows a little bit more confidence.

A lot of growth also, we've seen some challenges around hand, finger movements, legs is another challenge.

So certainly challenges ahead.

I mean, when we were speaking to Jensen Wong yesterday, you know, he labels this the chat GPT moment for robotics, right?

But there are still challenges.

Oh, yeah.

Is there any acknowledgement here on the showroom floor that we aren't going to see these robots in our homes tomorrow necessarily?
