This Humanoid Robot, Aided By NVIDIA AI, Can Take On Industrial Tasks
DigitalCxO.com, Thursday, June 19th, 2025
A humanoid robot designed to handle advanced physical and technical tasks in industrial operations debuted this week, with a big technological assist from NVIDIA Corp.
Hexagon's robotics division presented AEON, a robot in partnership with NVIDIA, with plans to put it to work in the automotive, transportation, aerospace, manufacturing, warehousing, and logistics sectors.
AEON is built to take on anything from part manipulation and inspection to asset scanning and operational support. Its secret sauce, Hexagon said, is the handling of sensitive components or working in dynamic, unpredictable settings - both of which are prone to human error.
'Our goal with AEON was to design an intelligent, autonomous humanoid that addresses the real-world challenges industrial leaders have shared with us over the past months,' Arnaud Robert, president of Hexagon's robotics division, said in a statement.
