Humanoid Pilot Sites Expand in Industrial Settings

Additional trial sites added for collaborative tasks and logistics.

Humanoid robot trials expanded to additional industrial sites focusing on collaborative tasks such as kitting, staging, and line‑side delivery. The program emphasizes supervised autonomy with clear safety boundaries and predictable handoffs to human operators. Performance is evaluated on cycle time stability, error recovery, ergonomics, and the clarity of operator tooling for task specification. Sites collect telemetry for planned maintenance and to refine behaviors over time, while training materials and checklists support consistent procedures across shifts. Integration with facility systems follows existing safety and quality rules, with audits verifying that configurations match documentation. A core objective is transferability: task libraries and interface adapters are designed so that capabilities demonstrated at one site can be reproduced at another with minimal engineering effort. Reports will summarize results across sites, including what worked, what did not, and where further research or hardware changes are warranted. Throughout, the approach prioritizes incremental gains and safe operation rather than broad claims, aiming to build lasting confidence in the platform’s usefulness for day‑to‑day production.
