From tears in the rain to robots in our lives: the future is already here

“I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain. Time to die.”

With these words, Roy Batty, the most human of all replicants, left us with one of the most memorable reflections in Blade Runner. This monologue speaks of the transience of life and the fragility and aspirations of those who seek to transcend its limits. In his death throes, Batty symbolizes the point where machines and humans meet, a place where technology not only mimics humanity but also redefines it.

Today, as robots begin to leave the labs and step into the real world, the line between human and artificial becomes increasingly blurred. While we don’t have replicants like Roy Batty, today’s robots transform how we work, heal, learn, and even rest. And though their “memories” won’t be lost in the rain, what they are creating now is destined to leave a lasting mark on our lives.

In this article, we will explore the current state of commercial and pre-commercial robots, an intermediate step in the evolution toward consumer robots that may someday look more like the replicants of our cinematic fantasies. While we may not yet be able to see burning ships beyond Orion, what we are witnessing is undoubtedly extraordinary.

The poetic history of robotics: from gears to mechanical dreams

Robotics did not start with wires and circuits but with gears and aspirations. Centuries ago, when humanity still saw the stars as deities and fire as a mystical force, visionary minds were already imagining machines that could mimic life—devices that could move, work, and even think. Robotics emerged from a timeless desire: the fascination with bringing life to the lifeless.

1. Automata: mechanical art of the past

Around the ninth century, stories of automatons that filled the royal halls were told at the court of Charlemagne. Clocks with figurines that danced to the beat of the hours, mechanical birds that spread their wings at dawn, and machines that seemed endowed with a soul. But they were nothing more than gears and pulleys, masterpieces of watchmakers and artisans who blended art and mechanics in a spectacle that amazed medieval man.

“In the 18th century, Swiss watchmaker Pierre Jaquet-Droz created ‘The Writer,’ an automaton capable of writing personalized messages with a quill. This machine, able to perform a creative task, was a statement of intent: machines might one day think like us.”

2. The Industrial Revolution: machines for mankind

Cities echoed with the roar of machines as the Industrial Revolution transformed the economy and introduced automation. In 1913, Henry Ford revolutionized history by creating the first automated assembly line. While robots didn’t exist yet, the foundation of modern robotics was laid—the concept that machines could handle repetitive tasks, allowing humans to focus on more complex endeavors.

“Ford’s assembly line made it possible to assemble a car in just 93 minutes, which seemed impossible. Although the machines lacked a human form, they fulfilled a role humanity had previously reserved for itself: efficiency and precision.”

3. The birth of the term “Robot”: a cry from the Theater

In 1921, Czech playwright Karel Čapek introduced the world to his play R.U.R. (Rossum’s Universal Robots). It was in this context that the word “robot,” derived from the Czech “robota” (forced labor), made its first appearance. In his play, the robots were not metallic machines but biological beings created to serve. Yet, like all great stories, this one ended in rebellion.

“Čapek not only coined the term but also posed a philosophical dilemma that still resonates with us: what happens when robots, like humans, desire freedom?”

4. The era of electrical automata: the awakening of circuits.

In the mid-20th century, a new protagonist arrived on the scene: electricity. In 1942, Isaac Asimov formulated the famous Three Laws of Robotics, laying the ethical foundations for developing conscious machines. Meanwhile, in laboratories and workshops, engineers like George Devol were creating the first programmable industrial robot, Unimate, which in 1961 was already welding parts in a General Motors factory.

“Unimate marked the beginning of modern robotics, paving the way for the fusion of mechanical intelligence with practical functionality. For the first time, robots were not just dreamed of in fiction but were working in reality.”

5. Humanoids: the dream of mechanical life

One of the first attempts came from Honda’s laboratories in the 1980s to create a functional humanoid robot: ASIMO. With movements that mimicked human walking and a futuristic design, ASIMO was a technical achievement and a symbol of advances in robotics. Its existence marked the beginning of an era in which robots would be tools and companions in our daily lives.

“ASIMO wasn’t perfect, but it inspired generations of humanoid robots that today strive not only to walk and talk but also to understand and adapt.

6. A bridge to the present

And so, from the art of watchmakers through assembly lines and theatrical automatons, we arrive at a world where robots are no longer showpieces or theater creatures but assistants, workers, and caretakers. Each gear and line of code has been a step toward today’s humanoid robots, capable of interacting, learning, and, perhaps someday, feeling.

This is the legacy of robotics: a journey that began with the dreams of medieval artisans and today brings us closer to machines that share our shape, logic, and, perhaps someday, some of our essence. But how close are we to that vision? Today’s humanoid robots already walk among us, and their impact is beginning.

The awakening of humanoids: machines with form, purpose, and dreams.

Humanoids are ceasing to be exclusive inhabitants of science fiction to walk, with clumsy steps but full of ambition towards our reality. These machines replicate our forms and aspire to share our spaces, help us with our tasks, and even understand us.

However, its path has not been easy or without stumbles (some literally). Who does not remember a Boston Dynamics robot failing to jump and falling face-first to the ground? But these failures are precisely what make progress so fascinating. Today’s humanoids are designed to serve, learn, and become our most trusted companions. On this journey, we’ll explore the most remarkable creations and companies pushing humanoid robotics to the limit.

Because if history has taught us anything, it’s that mechanical dreams don’t stop… they move forward with gears, algorithms, and, of course, a touch of human genius.

The Dawn of Humanoids

“I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe…” Thus began the most iconic farewell in cinema, a monologue delivered by Roy Batty, the replicant from Blade Runner, to the universe—seemingly directed at our humanity. Like Roy, today’s humanoid robots are destined to see, do, and experience things that still feel like distant dreams. But unlike tears in the rain, these dreams won’t fade away; they are the prelude to an inevitable future. These humanoids are not just machines but the first steps into a new era.

From Optimus, dreaming of more efficient factories and homes, to Ameca, with her haunting smile that makes us wonder if technology can, one day, truly understand us. From Atlas, with his impossible somersaults that seem straight out of Terminator, to Digit, who carries boxes today but could be tomorrow’s assistant.

Humanoid robotics represents the perfect intersection of science and imagination. Who hasn’t wondered if the T-800s from Terminator are a warning or a prophecy? Or if the replicants from Blade Runner are truly “more human than human”? Each of these humanoids is a living page of science fiction brought to life. Their existence inspires and terrifies us, fascinates and provokes us, in a constant push and pull between what we can create and what we should

Exploring the Future

However, The Future of Humanoids is not a science fiction movie; it is an invitation to redefine what it means to be human. These robots are not only designed to help us; they are here to force us to confront fundamental questions: What does it mean to be conscious? How will we change as a species as we share our space and tasks with them? Can we coexist with our creations without losing what makes us unique?

The next time you see a humanoid robot raises its arm, whether to work on a production line or to greet you with a smile, remember that behind every gear and line of code is a little bit of all of us: our ideas, our creativity, and perhaps even our hopes and fears. And as the horizon fills with humanoids advancing with precision and purpose, one thing is sure: we are living at the beginning of a new story. As they said in Blade Runner: “You don’t know how much time you have left.” Perhaps the best way to make the most of it is to embrace this fascinating future, learn from it, and, why not, enjoy the show.

In the end, humanoid robots are not just machines. They are mirrors that reflect the best and the worst of ourselves.
