“Foxconn will deploy humanoid robots to make AI servers in Texas within months as the Taiwanese company continues to expand aggressively in the U.S., Chairman and CEO Young Liu told Nikkei Asia.
Foxconn, the world’s largest contract electronics manufacturer and biggest maker of AI servers, is a key supplier to Nvidia.
“Within the next six months or so, we will start to see humanoid robots [in our factory],” the executive said. “It will be AI humanoid robots making AI servers.”
The move is expected to boost the efficiency and output of AI server production.”

Factories is where it will happen fastest, well and other spaces where you still kinda have clearly defined stations where they have to do the work. Humans will still work with them, hence the need for humanoid form and all the safety things, but that is much easier than having a personalized robot at your home. Sort of like Waymo and full autonomy everywhere comparison. We can do Waymo thing in some areas which are very well mapped etc. but not the whole world.
But yes, robots are coming.

Yeah well, this is how you get a literal AI apocalypse, make humans redundant for the maintenance of the data centers to make sure that we aren’t needed anymore.
