Spirit AI sees robot brains by 2027

Spirit AI co-founder Gao Yang told a Reuters report syndicated by Yahoo News that humanoid-robot brains could reach a breakthrough by mid-2027, while home deployment may still be at least eight years away because high-quality training data is the bottleneck. Spirit says it has already collected more than 200,000 hours of interaction data and cut acquisition costs by 90% in its own deployment note. Builders evaluating physical AI should treat 2027 as a research milestone, not a home-robot product date, and compare training-data quality with the archive’s NEURA supply-chain clock.
