Nvidia, Foxconn in talks to deploy humanoid robots at Houston AI server making plant
HOUSTON, TEXAS, JUN 20 – Foxconn plans to fully automate NVIDIA's AI server assembly using humanoid robots, marking a first for both companies and expected by early 2026, sources told Reuters.
Foxconn and Nvidia are negotiating to introduce humanoid robots at Foxconn’s new Houston facility, which will manufacture Nvidia’s AI servers, with plans to implement the technology in the near future.
In April, Nvidia revealed plans to establish facilities in Texas focused on manufacturing AI supercomputers, with production expected to increase significantly over the next 12 to 15 months.
Foxconn has developed two humanoid robot versions, one with legs and another with a wheeled base, and plans to showcase them at its November technology event.
In March, Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang expressed his belief that humanoid robots will become commonly deployed in manufacturing settings within the next five years.
The deployment would mark the first time Nvidia products are made with humanoid robots, signaling a milestone in manufacturing automation at Foxconn's Houston plant.
Nvidia and Foxconn will deploy humanoid robots to a Houston factory in 2026, machines that will help assemble AI servers, marking a milestone in industrial automation.
