Audi is conducting tests of Agile Robots’ mobile humanoids for parts sequencing at its Ingolstadt Production Lab. This initiative, announced on October 21 during NVIDIA GTC Berlin, involves collaboration with Dassault Systèmes and NVIDIA. Audi's material-supply operations currently handle approximately one million picks daily, showcasing the scale of the existing workflow.
The significance of this project lies in its potential to enhance logistics efficiency within the automotive sector. The humanoids are designed to manage varied, flexible, and unsorted components in existing environments, combining dual-arm manipulation with a mobile base. A virtual twin created with DELMIA on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform will assess feasibility and safety before broader deployment.
Audi's next milestone will focus on evaluating sustained pick rates, intervention frequency, component coverage, and operating costs. As the automotive industry increasingly explores humanoid robotics, the outcomes of this trial could influence future deployments and operational strategies in material handling and logistics.
