Charles’ Note: If you need proof that we desperately need advanced robots in our lives, take a trip to Europe.
I just got back from a two-week trip covering Amsterdam, Rome, and the Croatian coast.
My single biggest takeaway?
There are no people.
Restaurant service is terrible because there aren’t enough waiters.
Hotels, even nice ones, are run with a skeleton crew.
Even the airports are a mess.
When I checked my suitcase at the Amsterdam airport, I had to scan and tag it myself and leave it on a conveyor belt (which broke and left me standing there for about 30 minutes until they could find a technician to fix it.)
Service is worse in Europe because birthrates are lower and the worker shortage more acute. But America isn’t far behind.
Without a major leap forward in robotics – or physical AI – our lives as we know them simply won’t be possible.
Of course, this creates a major opportunity for us as investors.
Two years ago, Louis Navellier, Eric Fry, and Luke Lango put their heads together to create a high-conviction basket of stocks with the potential to soar 5X, even 10X, as AI reshaped the digital world. Since then, the AI story has accelerated faster than even they expected…
AI models have dropped with powerful advancements in capability…
Big Tech has gone all-in on infrastructure…
And semiconductor architecture breakthroughs are now setting the stage for something bigger – the next step in this evolution: Physical AI and robotics.
We want to help you get ahead of this.
In the essay below, Eric breaks down some of the most important developments in this next phase of AI. We’re about to see what happens when artificial intelligence jumps off your screen and into the real world, powering robots, humanoids, and intelligent machines across the economy.

7 Stocks to Lead the Physical AI Revolution
By Eric Fry, Senior Analyst, InvestorPlace
In the 1962 pilot episode of The Jetsons, Jane Jetson, a space-age housewife, wants a robot maid.
The family can’t afford one, so they end up at a U-Rent A Maid, where the salesman unloads his least desirable model on the Jetsons: Rosey the Robot.
Rosey was a surprise hit, quickly becoming a mainstay of the show.
The cheerful helper was a departure from the killer robots of the 1950s. Instead of world domination, Rosey was focused on cooking and cleaning for her new family.
Thanks to AI, robots are now stepping off the screen and into the real world – and taking over physical tasks once reserved for humans.
Given the right hardware and software, they’ll be capable of far more than household chores.
This shift will reshape entire industries… and reward those who get in position early.
So, today, let’s take a look at how Rosey the Robot is quickly coming to life.
Then, I’ll share how you can access several recommendations set to capitalize on the growing world of robotics.
Let’s dive in…
The Fabric of the Robotics Revolution
Consider sewing machines, a device that 75 million people worldwide use for their livelihoods.
That’s roughly 1% of the human population.
For decades, sewing has been considered too difficult for ordinary robotic arms to manage.
Fabric stretches and folds in unpredictable ways and researchers in the 1980s and 1990s essentially gave up after realizing that assembly line-style robots with delicate “nippers” could not consistently make good stitches.
AI is now changing that.
In March, a team of Chinese researchers used transfer learning (a form of AI) to train robots to “swing” fabrics to flatten them. It’s the way you might spread out a bedsheet.
Then, in April, a separate Chinese team used a convolutional neural network (another form of AI) to help robots visually recognize the quality of fabric seams, an essential step for robotic sewing.
These efforts have come so quickly that China has launched a national R&D initiative to create a factory-ready robotic sewing machine by 2026.
Meanwhile, AI researchers are making shockingly rapid advancements in other areas.
Last year, a group of researchers at the University of Tokyo even demonstrated a human robot that could drive a car around a corner. It took two minutes… but that’s far better than anything before.
And more improvements are coming as, thanks to AI, robots’ “brains” catch up with their “brawn.”
Advancements in chipmaking have finally made it possible to train and test humanoid robots at scale.
Then what?
Imagine buying a modern-day “Rosey,” a bolt of fabric, and a $100 sewing machine. You could have a custom suit ready the next day.
The same robot might then drive you to work, use your vehicle to run chores… or even earn money as an Uber driver.
It’s easy to slip into speculation.
What happens to clothing companies? Cleaning firms? Auto repair shops?
When robots can perform all the light manufacturing and services that humans can, it becomes blindingly obvious that the world of the future will look little like the world of today.
It doesn’t take much imagination to realize that investors must act on this trend now.
And here is the best way to do it…
How to Join the Next AI Breakout
Two years ago, I teamed up with my fellow InvestorPlace Senior Analysts – Louis Navellier and Luke Lango – to launch a special research project featuring only the best-of-the-best AI stocks.
We’ve added several stocks to this model portfolio that have already taken off for big gains, including…
- 82% gains on Evolv Technologies (EVLV)…
- 285.6% gains on Nvidia (NVDA)…
- 80.3% gains on Oracle (ORCL)…
- 86.2% gains on Palantir (PLTR)…
- And 74.8% gains on Vertiv (VRT).
But so many big advancements in robotics are now happening thanks to AI that we’ve created a new Day Zero Portfolio.
AI processors are finally fast enough to re-create robots in a virtual space. This allows researchers and AI models to test millions of possibilities digitally before a single action is taken.
In other words, these robots can try sewing millions of undershirts virtually before a single action is taken in real life.
These advancements are now reaching a tipping point.
So our new Day Zero Portfolio is focused entirely on the best investments in AI-powered robotics to keep you ahead of the curve.
It includes seven new AI recommendations set to capitalize on the growing world of robotics and Physical AI. These are a carefully selected group of companies that give you targeted exposure to the next wave of AI exponential progress.
Our publisher will be taking this special free broadcast down at the end of this week… so check it out now.
