Foxconn Technology Group, owned by Hon Hai Precision Industry (OTC:HNHPF) is reportedly set to deploy humanoid robots for the production of AI servers in Texas amid its aggressive expansion push in the U.S. North America To Be The Main Base Foxconn will introduce the humanoid robots within a few months, the company’s Chairman and CEO, Young Liu, told Nikkei Asia on the sidelines of the Global Management Dialogue, a forum organized by Nikkei and Swiss business school IMD, in Tokyo. This marks the first instance in Foxconn’s 50-year history of using humanoid robots in its production lines. Liu highlighted the importance of speed in high-tech industries such as AI, noting that deploying humanoid robots will boost both the efficiency and productivity of AI server manufacturing, according to Nikkei Asia. Foxconn plans to keep North America as its main AI server manufacturing base over the next three years, as the U.S. continues to lead global AI data center expansion. Liu also stressed the importance of local production for sovereign AI, stating that governments require not only local data but also local training models, Nikkei Asia said.
