🚗 Cobots at Toyota and Humanoid robots in manufacturing

Hi,

An army of C-3POs building your car? It’s a headline-grabber—but is it reality or just hype?  

This month, we explore the viability and future of humanoid robots in manufacturing, and we share a success story from industry leader Toyota, where collaborative robots are already making a difference on multiple levels. 

Humanoids are here, but are they the smartest move? 

They’re grabbing headlines and investor attention, but how do humanoid robots really compare to the automation technologies already transforming manufacturing? Our new white paper takes a clear-eyed look at the current state of humanoids—what they can do, where they fall short, and how they stack up against proven solutions like cobots and AMRs. 

If you're navigating automation decisions, this is essential reading. Discover what’s emerging, what’s ready, and what’s truly capable of powering the next industrial era.
