China has published plans to mass-produce humanoid robots by 2025, as Western companies including Elon Musk's Tesla race to produce their own humanoids.
DailyMail.com spoke to leading experts on how humanoid robots could change the world - with one expert saying that the tech will grow 'exponentially' this decade.
Goldman Sachs has predicted that the market for humanoid robots could be worth $150 billion a year worldwide within 15 years - and that humanoid robots will be viable in factories between 2025-2028 and in other jobs by 2030-2035.
Hoek said that predictions suggest that up to a quarter of all jobs could be impacted by robotics and AI technology.
She said: 'My biggest worry is that all humankind spends a lot of time on fearing, instead of accepting and anticipating.'Hoek said that research needs to be done now on which job roles will still 'add value' in a world of humanoid robots: she said, 'If we don't train people, if we don't anticipate, if we don't radically change around the school programs, for instance, we'll be too late.'
Elon Musk's Tesla is building a rival robot called Optimus which aims to take on any task a human can do - and which Musk has said could be 'more significant' than the company's cars.
