Motion technology giant Schaeffler has signed a strategic partnership with Hexagon Robotics to deploy at least 1,000 AEON humanoids while supplying the high-precision actuators that power them.
A new report from the Wall Street Journal details how Schaeffler is integrating Agility’s Digit humanoid into an active auto-parts plant, marking a shift from logistics pilots to deep industrial manufacturing.
Formerly known as Under Control Robotics (UCR), Sunnyvale-based Noble Machines has officially launched with a focus on heavy-duty, general-purpose industrial robots that prioritize payload and durability over biomimicry.
Industrial giant Schaeffler has signed its first Chinese humanoid partnership with Leju Robotics and opened a specialized innovation factory in Taicang, even as leadership prepares investors for a conservative 2026 fiscal year.
Industrial giant Schaeffler formalizes its humanoid ambitions by establishing "Schaeffler Embodied Intelligent Robotics (Taicang) Co., Ltd.," a move that integrates hardware manufacturing with a dedicated AI computing hub in the heart of China’s German enterprise cluster.
