Hexagon Robotics and Schaeffler have begun training AEON humanoid robots at Schaeffler's Humanoid Gym in Germany to prepare the robots for complex industrial tasks, aiming to deploy at least 1,000 robots worldwide. This initiative includes integration of Schaeffler’s advanced actuator technology into the AEON robots and focuses on industrial task training via imitation learning to ensure reliability and scalability for manufacturing deployment.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Industrial.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You face a rising bar for industrial robot reliability as Schaeffler trains AEON robots with its own actuator tech under realistic factory conditions. Prepare to revisit your automation solutions or risk losing out as customers expect multi-tasking robots trained to perform without disrupting production.
