Jack Technology also ordered 2,000 humanoid robots tailored specifically for apparel manufacturing this year. The companies said this marks a landmark moment as it represents the sector’s first large-scale deployment of humanoid technology designed to operate in human-centric workspaces. Siemens said humanoid robots and quadrupeds are proving their worth across diverse, highly demanding operational environments. In a recent trial at Siemens’ electronics plant in Erlangen, a British start-up’s wheeled humanoid robot successfully handled warehouse crates using physical AI technology. “The true value of a humanoid robot lies in its ability to become an integrated, collaborative tool within the manufacturing plant,” Siemens said in a corporate blog post.
