From the article
The partnership will see both companies put Apollo robots to work on assembly lines at Jabil’s operations, including the ones for manufacturing Apollo bots.
Apollo will have to prove itself capable first, though. It’ll initially be assigned “an array of simple, repetitive intralogistics and manufacturing tasks, including inspection, sorting, kitting, lineside delivery, fixture placement, and sub-assembly.” The idea is for Apollo to eventually be deployed to functioning manufacturing facilities and free up human workers.
Damn!!!!! Is it me or things are accelerating as f?????
We’re close to full circle!
There’s a video the other day of this robot and their collaboration with
Texas Instruments

weve had non humanoid robots on assembly lines for decades. whats the big deal with them putting them into a different shape?

Come on man tell it like it is. It’s ‘replace human workers’.
Not that I don’t think this is great, I’d like to live in a world with robots walking around everywhere. Looks like Figure are starting domestic testing soon too.
