This picture taken on November 5, 2025 shows an engineer (back), of company Enactic, tele-operating with a VR headset and a robotic arm in the company's office in Tokyo. A pair of swivelling, human-like robotic arms, built for physical artificial intelligence research, mirror the motions of an operator in a VR headset twirling his hands like a magician. Welcome to the future of AI as it starts to infiltrate the material world in the form of smart robots, self-driving cars and other autonomous machines.
