Recent developments indicate that humanoid robots are set to play a significant role in the assembly of iPhones, particularly through a partnership between Apple supplier Foxconn and UBTech Robotics, a leading Chinese robotics firm.

UBTech has signed a comprehensive long-term partnership with Foxconn to deploy humanoid robots in its factories. This collaboration aims to enhance the efficiency of iPhone assembly by utilizing robots for "complicated and delicate production" tasks
 
 The robots being introduced are designed to learn and execute various manufacturing tasks within the 3C (computers, communication, and consumer electronics) production sector. This represents a shift towards more advanced automation in the manufacturing process, allowing for greater precision and efficiency
 
 The integration of humanoid robots into iPhone manufacturing could signify a broader trend where robotics increasingly becomes part of everyday production processes. This move aligns with the growing interest in robotics across multiple industries, including automotive and consumer electronics

 

In another news we got to know that China has built a nuclear powered battery which can run upto 50 years without charging.

A start-up in China has created a new battery that it claims can generate electricity for 50 years without the need for charging or maintenance.  it's a nuclear battery developed by Beijing-based Betavolt. And don't imagine a massive size after reading the word "nuclear". Betavolt has managed to squeeze 63 isotopes into that module that's smaller than a coin, the outlet further said in its report. The company said it is the first battery in the world to realise the miniaturisation of atomic energy.

The next-generation battery is already being tested and will be mass produced for commercial applications like phones and drone

If both these technolgies can be merged then there can be nuclear powered robots as we have seen in science fiction movies, the reality is not too far from 2025.
