O robô que dava cambalhota no YouTube agora bate cartão numa fábrica

For years, robots on two legs are only a video. The robot jumps, it dances, it falls. People watch and they laugh. But the robot never works.

Now this changes. The robot Atlas goes to a car factory in the United States. It has fifty-six joints, so it moves almost like a person. Another robot, the Figure 03, already has more than one thousand units. These machines lift boxes and put parts in place. They do the same boring job all day, and they do not get tired.

So the question is different today. Nobody asks if the robot can do it. People ask how much it costs by the hour. And many workers ask a harder question: what happens to my job?
