Humanoid Robots in Wafer FABs ?

December 22, 2025December 22, 2025 Leave a comment

As the activity and hype (?) around humanoids heats up there is one question lately in my mind: When will we see the first humanoid robots in wafer FABs in regular production ? Since the overall trend towards more generic robotic hardware is gaining traction the human form factor will fit of course very well…… Continue reading Humanoid Robots in Wafer FABs ?

Maintenance in the era of Industry 4.0
