AI robots help fill labor shortages across industries, says RobotLAB CEO

As artificial intelligence is evolving rapidly, Fox News got an exclusive look at a company that is helping businesses across the country leverage AI-based robots to improve efficiency and fill labor shortages.

RobotLAB, with 36 locations across the country and headquartered in Texas, hosts more than 50 different types of robots, from cleaning and customer service robots to security robots.

Almost every industry can use robots, from engaging dementia patients in nursing homes, to delivering food to restaurants and hotels, to managing the delivery of boxes to warehouses, to entering burning buildings to protect firefighters.

CEO Elad Inbar says cleaning robots are among the most popular, capable of cleaning hundreds of thousands of square feet per day. Hospitals, airports and supermarkets across the country are adopting them.

Inbar partners with companies nationwide to provide robots tailored to each business’s needs, teach owners how to effectively use AI, and adapt to automation. He points out that nothing will replace human emotion, but that AI robots can help fill labor shortages by taking jobs that no one else wants to do.

“We have robots that can deliver infinitely, they fight fires, etc. So they are very, very capable, and we have labor shortages,” Inbar said. “People don’t want to do this work. And when people don’t want to do this work, we have a solution that can actually help business owners.”

Inbar believes that next major step in AI They are humanoid robots, and they are already progressing rapidly. He believes that by the end of the decade, humanoid robots will be present in homes, capable of cooking, cleaning and taking care of maintenance needs.

“This is something we haven’t seen in 18 years, at least since we [have been] I run this company,” Inbar said. “Humanoid robots have become very, very capable thanks to advances in hardware and software. Robots are indeed capable of understanding reality, of understanding our environment. Understand when you… Ask your robot to go clean the table, it understands what should go in the trash and what should go in the dishwasher.”

Recently, the president Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at preventing states from over-regulating AI. Inbar says this is key to keeping companies competitive in the AI ​​race, especially against China. It emphasizes protecting citizens’ privacy, but warns that excessive regulation could hamper innovation and put the United States at a disadvantage.

“It affects everything, from national security“You know, productivity, right down to the ability to sustain our lives in terms of energy consumption and everything else,” Inbar said. “So these are the things that we need AI to solve for us, to work with and be the first to do it. Because if you’re not first, you’re last.”

“We develop curriculum, we develop lesson plans, we develop activities, professional development for teachers to help them enrich their lessons with these types of technologies,” Inbar said. “We took mundane robots as robotic arms and created a whole program that teaches kids trigonometry, physics, math and all that.”
