June 20 - Nvidia (NVDA, Financial) and Foxconn Technology (FXCOF, Financial) are reportedly considering the use of humanoid robots at a soon-to-launch AI server production plant in Houston, according to a Friday Reuters report.
The Houston site is expected to begin assembling Nvidia's GB300 AI servers in early 2026. If confirmed, it would mark the first time Nvidia's products are made using humanoid robots and the first Foxconn-run AI server plant to integrate them on the production line.
The type and number of robots have not yet been finalized, the report said. Foxconn, formally known as Hon Hai Precision, has been developing robots with Nvidia and has also tested units made by Chinese firm UBTech.
Robots under training have been tasked with assembly operations, cable insertion, and handling duties, based on a May company briefing. The facility's larger layout compared to other plants reportedly makes it a better fit for humanoid integration.
Foxconn also plans to unveil two humanoid robot models at a company event in November, one legged, the other using a wheeled autonomous mobile base, which may be a lower-cost option.
