Hexagon and Fill Maschinenbau partner to advance manufacturing autonomy using humanoids

by

Hexagon Robotics and Fill Maschinenbau are have announced a collaboration to define how humanoids can work alongside Fill’s manufacturing solutions to increase autonomy in advanced manufacturing.

AEON, Hexagon Robotics’ multi-purpose humanoid, will be piloted on one of Fill’s client use case in Gurten, Austria, to demonstrate how it can be integrated within real manufacturing workflows and as a complement to Fill’s automation solutions.

Arnaud Robert, president of Hexagon Robotics, says: “We have focused on real-world applications from the outset, and it is encouraging to see strong interest from industry leaders such as Fill. This collaboration is an important step in validating how humanoids can increase the level of autonomy of the manufacturing processes and deliver measurable value across diverse environments.

Hexagon Robotics collaborates with Microsoft to advance the field of humanoid robots

by

Hexagon Robotics has announced a strategic partnership with Microsoft aimed at advancing humanoid robots with a focus on:

  • redefining data-driven, adaptive manufacturing through deep technology collaboration;
  • scaling of physical AI frameworks across imitation learning, reinforcement learning, and multimodal vision-language-action models; and
  • jointly engage customers to deploy AI-driven robotics powered by Microsoft Azure and bring automation from concept to factory floor.

Combining Hexagon Robotics’ expertise in sensor fusion, robotics, and spatial intelligence and Microsoft’s strengths in cloud computing and scalable platforms, including Fabric Real-Time Intelligence in Microsoft Fabric, Azure IoT Operations, and Azure App Service, the two companies will work together to provide production-ready humanoid solutions for manipulation and inspection use cases, first targeting automotive, aerospace, manufacturing and logistic industries.
