Is Robotics Finally Ready to Enter Our Daily Lives?

For years, we’ve watched videos of robots doing backflips, running obstacle courses, dancing, and performing astonishing feats of agility. Yet despite these spectacular demonstrations, robots are still far from becoming part of our everyday lives.

So where do we really stand today? 🤔

Will robotics transform our societies the same way artificial intelligence is beginning to do?
Are we about to see robots everywhere around us — and should we be concerned?

To explore these questions, SCAI (Sorbonne Cluster for Artificial Intelligence) is launching an exclusive 3-part video series in collaboration with Lexio Robotics 🚀

Lexio Robotics is a startup specialized in teaching robots how to manipulate objects through learning-based approaches. In this series, co-founders Johann Huber and François Hélénon share a clear and grounded perspective on the current state of robotics.

A 3-Episode Series

📍 Episode 1 — The History of Robotics

Where are we really today?
From early automatons to modern intelligent robots, this episode explores the major milestones of robotics and separates science fiction from technological reality.

📍 Episode 2 — Will Machines Replace Us?

The question of human obsolescence.
Which jobs are truly at risk? What are the myths surrounding automation? And what new forms of collaboration between humans and robots could emerge in the years ahead?

📍 Episode 3 — The Truth Behind Viral Robot Videos

An unfiltered breakdown by two PhDs.
What do those spectacular online demonstrations actually show? What do they hide? This episode decodes the gap between technological achievement, engineering limitations, and marketing narratives.

Understanding the Future of Robotics

Through this series, SCAI and Lexio Robotics aim to provide a deeper understanding of a technology that is often fantasized about, sometimes feared, yet still widely misunderstood.

A chance to step back from the hype, understand the real scientific and societal challenges behind robotics, and form an informed opinion about the future we may build alongside intelligent machines.

Because the real question is no longer whether robots will become part of our lives — but how we choose to shape that future with them.
