Nvidia (NVDA, Financial) and Foxconn are set to break new ground by deploying mahunoid robots at Foxconn's upcoming Houston facility, which will assemble Nvidia's GB300 AI servers, with work slated to begin in Q1 2026.
According to people familiar with the plans, this marks the first time Nvidia products will be built with humanoid robots on the production line. Foxconnâaka Hon Haiâhas been developing its own bots with Nvidia and trialing China's UBTech models. The Houston site, chosen for its spacious, brand-new layout, lets Foxconn integrate robots trained for pick-and-place tasks, cable insertion, and assembly work.
While final details on robot count and design are pending, Foxconn plans to unveil two prototypes (legged and wheeled AMR-based) at its November tech event. This project ties into Nvidia's broader push in Texas, including a Dallas AIâsupercomputer factory with Wistron.
Rolling out humanoid robots in a live factory is a major test of advanced automation in high-value electronics manufacturing. Success could slash labor costs, boost throughput, and pave the way for wider robo-assembly of AI hardware.
Investors should watch early performance metricsâuptime, error rates, and throughputâto gauge whether humanoid robots can reliably tackle complex assembly roles.
