BMW Group is expanding its use of humanoid robots in its factories, starting with its Leipzig, Germany, facility. The company has partnered with Hexagon Robotics to introduce AI-powered machines called AEON. These robots can work in complex spaces and adjust their actions in real-time using built-in sensors. They are designed to work alongside human workers without constant direction. BMW's goal is to test the robots in real production environments to refine their capabilities. The company has already seen success with its earlier pilot in Spartanburg, South Carolina, where humanoid robots helped build over 30,000 vehicles.
