Bringing humanoids to production

How humanoid robotics is moving from concept to production

Innovation in robotics, simulation, and physical AI are enabling humanoid robots to understand and operate in industrial environments with new levels of flexibility and to learn new skills at unprecedented speed. While recent demos have shown strong potential, advancing humanoids toward scaled deployment in industrial environments requires progress across motion, dexterity, performance, and safety. At the same time, successful production use will depend on seamless integration, adaptability, and the ability to build trust in real-world operations.

This panel brings together AI leaders, an automotive pioneer, and Hexagon Robotics to discuss how humanoid robotics is already moving from concept to production – sharing concrete lessons from early deployments and exploring the path towards truly autonomous, human-centric manufacturing.
