In the world of automotive manufacturing, automation has traditionally referred to massive robotic arms bolted to the floor, safely enclosed in steel cages, performing strictly defined duties. These machines are fast and precise, but also immovable and rigid. As automakers pivot toward these robo-friendly production methods, old-school rigidity is becoming a bottleneck.BMW is looking to lead the way in the context of robotic implementations of AI in manufacturing processes. After a successful pilot program at its Spartanburg, South Carolina plant, the German automaker is deploying a new generation of AI-powered humanoid robots—called AEON, designed in collaboration with Hexagon Robotics—directly into its production lines in Leipzig, Germany.
