    Humanoid Robots Collaborate with Machine Tools Using Physical AI: Mitsubishi Electric's Demonstration at JIMTOF

    Mitsubishi Electric has developed a machining system where humanoid robots and CNC machine tools collaborate using physical AI, allowing workers to issue natural language instructions. The system includes an AI Machining Task Planner, a CNC machine tool with physical AI, and a general-purpose humanoid robot. While the system demonstrates potential for reducing labor dependency, challenges such as safety and on-site verification remain before practical deployment.
