Agile Robots founder and CEO Dr. Zhaopeng Chen said: “Agile Robots is driving industries forward with Physical AI. Working with Audi we show how our mobile humanoids can perform high-value, critical tasks that were previously impossible to automate. That is what Physical AI is all about – real progress for industrial productivity.”
Gerd Walker, Board Member for Production and Logistics at AUDI AG said: “The future of manufacturing will be defined by how successfully we combine industrial expertise with artificial intelligence. For decades, picking within the sequencing process has remained one of the toughest automation challenges in automotive logistics. Together with our partners, we are now exploring how AI-powered robotics can help solve this challenge and unlock a new level of productivity in our Audi factories.”
Philippe Laufer, Executive Vice President, 3DS Global Brands, Dassault Systèmes said: “The breakthrough is not simply bringing humanoid robots into the factory at high pace. It is being able to engineer and validate their mission and role before they ever enter it physically. With 3DEXPERIENCE Virtual Twins Factory, powered by Industry World Models and Virtual Companions, engineers can accurately experiment feasibility, timing, ergonomics and safety in a virtual environment, reducing work that can take months to days, and consequently speed up the commissioning of these humanoid robots within the plants. Together with NVIDIA and our partners, we are turning Physical AI into competitive advantages industry can deploy with confidence.”
“Humanoid robots are advancing automation beyond fixed, repetitive tasks to the complex, variable work at the heart of modern manufacturing,” said Deepu Talla, vice president of robotics and edge AI at NVIDIA. “Audi and Agile Robots are using Dassault Systèmes DELMIA and NVIDIA Omniverse physical AI libraries to simulate and validate mobile humanoids for parts sequencing, tackling one of automotive logistics’ toughest workflows with minimal changes to existing operations.”
