Humanoid robots will be used in the production of Nvidia servers for the first time.
The Texas factory will be Foxconn's first facility to employ such technology.
Implementation is expected by the first quarter of 2026, when the production of GB300 servers will begin.
The American corporation #NVIDIA and Taiwanese Foxconn are negotiating the implementation of humanoid robots at the new plant in Houston. The companies plan to jointly produce AI servers GB300, writes Reuters.
This will be the first case where Nvidia's products will start to be manufactured with the participation of humanoid machines. Moreover, this will also mark Foxconn's debut in applying such solutions in linear assembly, experts note.
The parties plan to complete discussions in the coming months and start using robots as early as Q1 2026, when the plant reaches production capacity. Although the exact functions of the devices have not yet been disclosed, materials from Foxconn presented in May indicated that they are being trained to insert cables, assemble nodes, and move parts.
Foxconn is developing its own humanoids in partnership with Nvidia and is also testing models from the Chinese company UBTech. It is still unknown what type of robots will be used in Houston—wheel-based or bipedal. However, earlier, the CEO of Foxconn's robotics division, Liao Go, stated that both versions are planned to be showcased in November at the company's annual technology exhibition.
The project is part of a broader Nvidia plan to build supercomputer factories for AI in Texas. In addition to Foxconn in Houston, Wistron will also be a partner in Dallas. Both sites are expected to begin large-scale production within a year and a half.
The implementation of humanoids strengthens Nvidia's position as a provider of platforms for creating humanoid machines, experts believe. The company's CEO, Jensen Huang, previously stated that the mass application of such robots in industry will occur within the next five years.
