TAIPEI, Sept. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — When Nvidia framed the next wave of AI as “physical AI,” it helped ignite a surge of interest in humanoid robots, accelerating development efforts worldwide. Yet, according to DIGITIMES’ latest report, these machines will account for just 0.2% of the global robotics market this year – still concentrated in niche logistics, warehousing, and manufacturing applications, far from broad, multi-sector deployment.

AI accelerates development, but manufacturing costs remain prohibitive

In the Humanoid robotics, 2025 – Market trends, critical components & strategic shifts report, advances in AI are shortening the design cycle for humanoid robots by allowing developers to simulate and refine complex capabilities, such as bipedal balance or delicate object handling, before building physical prototypes. This virtual-first approach reduces the time and expense of trial-and-error engineering, while enhancing robots’ perception and decision-making.

Humanoid robots: Short-, mid-, and long-term applications

But success in simulation does not guarantee commercial viability. Real-world deployment remains constrained by high manufacturing costs. Enhanced sensing and processing demands translate into more chips and sensors, while precise motion control requires specialized actuators and mechanical components – often in small production runs that drive up costs. Today’s humanoid robots typically sell for US$50,000-400,000, compared with under US$30,000 for industrial robots of similar size and function. Without economies of scale, prices are unlikely to drop enough to make them competitive in service or home markets.

Three forces, three phases

DIGITIMES identifies three key factors shaping humanoid robots’ evolution – AI maturity, hardware component costs, and safety regulations – each driving a distinct stage of growth:

Phase one (3-5 years): AI advances will enhance performance and expand industrial use, but high costs will keep adoption focused on logistics, warehousing, and manufacturing.

Phase two (5-10 years): As hardware becomes cheaper through scale, service industries will become the primary market, provided safety standards begin to take hold.

Phase three (10+ years): Once AI, hardware economics, and robust safety frameworks converge, humanoid robots could enter homes in large numbers, triggering a true market inflection point.

The road ahead

Humanoid robots are almost certain to become part of the physical AI era. What remains uncertain is not the “if” but the “when,” “where,” and “how.” In the near term, the pace of hardware innovation and cost reduction – not AI breakthroughs – will decide how fast the humanoid revolution moves from factory floors to everyday life.

“Quantum AI up to 73x Faster on NVIDIA CUDA-Q”

• Norma, a quantum computing company, has validated the performance of quantum AI algorithms using NVIDIA CUDA-Q.
• By running these algorithms for drug development on CUDA-Q, Norma observed computational speeds up to 73 times faster.
• The company has secured use cases for quantum AI in drug development and plans to expand validation efforts into various fields.

SEOUL, South Korea, Sept. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Quantum computing company Norma (CEO Hyunchul Jung, www.norma.co.kr) has achieved over 73× faster performance in drug development by running its quantum AI algorithm on NVIDIA GH200 Grace Hopper Superchips.

Norma recently tested and validated the performance of its self-developed quantum AI algorithms on the NVIDIA CUDA-Q platform. CUDA-Q simplifies the integration of GPUs and QPUs and supports quantum-classical hybrid operations, including serving as a core technology to accelerate the development and execution of quantum algorithms. Norma is independently developing quantum AI algorithms applicable across sectors such as biotechnology, defense, and finance. The company is currently running projects to execute these algorithms in the CUDA-Q environment and validate their performance.

The project was launched as part of a joint research effort with Kyung Hee University Hospital at Gangdong, aimed at discovering novel drug candidates. Due to the vastness of the chemical search space, traditional AI approaches encounter computational limitations in drug discovery. To overcome this, Norma’s Quantum AI team has been developing algorithms such as QLSTM, QGAN, and QCBM. These algorithms are typically trained and evaluated using various quantum simulators. In this latest test, NVIDIA CUDA-Q demonstrated significantly superior computational performance compared to other simulators.

Norma used CUDA-Q environment using NVIDIA H200 GPUs and NVIDIA GH200 to test its quantum AI algorithms for drug development. The results showed that NVIDIA CUDA-Q significantly outperformed traditional CPU-based methods. Specifically, the execution and measurement (forward propagation) of an 18-qubit quantum circuit were approximately 60.14 to 73.32 times faster, while the loss function-based correction process (backward propagation) was about 33.69 to 41.56 times faster.

Comparisons between the H200 and GH200 yielded similar performance with the GH200 demonstrating with forward propagation times 22% shorter and backward propagation times 24% shorter than those of the H200.

By enabling fast and realistic verification of algorithms prior to deployment on actual quantum hardware, the project significantly reduced development costs and time while enhancing optimization potential. It is particularly meaningful in that it demonstrated the practical applicability of quantum AI technology in drug discovery, providing valuable data to support the future adoption of quantum hardware across diverse fields.

Hyunchul Jung, CEO of Norma, stated, “This project is a meaningful example of collaboration between domestic and international quantum technology companies and hospitals, showcasing the practical potential of quantum technologies.” He added, “Through active technological cooperation with NVIDIA, we plan to continuously expand performance testing of quantum AI algorithms across a wide range of sectors, like healthcare.”

• AMI Pharm’s ‘AYP-101’ Sets to Become a New Leader in Nonsurgical Fat Reduction with Phase 2 Trial Success
• ‘AYP-101,’ a Promising Nonsurgical Solution, Has Its Clinical Results Published in Clinical Therapeutics
• ‘AYP-101’ Demonstrates Superior Safety and Efficacy, Poised to Change the Paradigm of Submental Fat Reduction

SEOUL, South Korea, Sept. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — AMI Pharm‘s novel injectable drug, AYP-101, has shown promising results in a Phase 2 clinical trial for the reduction of submental fat (SMF), commonly known as a double chin. The clinical data from the trial was recently published in Clinical Therapeutics, a leading journal for drug and therapy development. This publication marks a significant milestone for AYP-101 and highlights its potential as a safe and effective nonsurgical treatment option. The study evaluated the efficacy and safety of AYP-101 at two different concentrations. The results showed that the 25 mg/mL concentration, administered every two weeks for six sessions, led to statistically significant and clinically meaningful reductions in moderate to severe SMF.

Demonstrated Efficacy and Safety

The Phase 2 study enrolled 96 participants and demonstrated strong results. At four weeks after the final treatment, 69.70% of participants in the 25 mg/mL treatment group achieved at least a one-grade improvement in both the Evaluator-Reported and Subject-Reported Submental Fat Rating Scales (ER-SMFRS and SR-SMFRS). This was a statistically significant improvement compared to the 22.58% response rate in the placebo group. The trial data also highlighted AYP-101’s favorable safety and tolerability profile. The drug is uniquely designed to eliminate fat through a process called apoptosis while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues. The study found that AYP-101 required fewer injection points and produced a lower incidence of post-injection swelling and paresthesia compared to what is typically reported for Deoxycholic Acid (DCA).

A Leader in the Growing Aesthetics Market

With the global demand for nonsurgical fat reduction solutions on the rise, AMI Pharm is actively pursuing the next phase of development. According to Ki-Taek Lee, CEO of AMI Pharm, the publication of the Phase 2 data “reaffirms our research capabilities and demonstrates AYP-101’s significant potential in the localized fat reduction market”. AMI Pharm is currently accelerating its Phase 3 study for AYP-101 with the goal of completion by the end of 2025. The company is also actively expanding international collaborations to further develop next-generation injectable drugs for localized fat reduction. This latest publication follows the positive results from AYP-101’s Phase 1 study in 2024, continuing its international recognition.
