Twenty-three years have passed since Honda unveiled its P2 robot in 1996. Even though extensive research has been conducted since then, humanoid robots have not been commercialized for practical applications. It is important to carefully select target applications to commercialize humanoid robots as soon as possible and solve social issues, such as labor shortages in industries and elderly care. This article consists of two parts. First, we discuss what we consider to be the most promising application of the commercialization of humanoid robots, based on our experience in their development. Several candidate applications are evaluated on four criteria, and we conclude that large-scale manufacturing is the most promising one.

拟人化机器人的工业化：自主石膏板安装，以提高安全性和效率

自本田于1996年推出其P2机器人以来已经过去了23年。尽管自那时以来已进行了广泛的研究，但类人机器人尚未针对实际应用进行商业化。重要的是要仔细选择目标应用程序，以使人形机器人尽快商业化，并解决社会问题，例如工业中的劳动力短缺和老年护理。本文由两部分组成。首先，根据我们在类人机器人开发方面的经验，我们讨论认为这是类人机器人商业化最有前途的应用。根据四个标准对几种候选应用程序进行了评估，我们得出的结论是，大规模制造是最有前途的应用程序。
