Audi tests Agile Robots humanoids for parts sequencing at German plant

Audi is running a proof of concept at its Ingolstadt Production Lab in which Agile One mobile humanoids pick components from containers and arrange them in assembly order. The project with Agile Robots, Dassault Systèmes and Nvidia pairs physical trials with simulation; no performance figures or rollout timeline were disclosed.

• Pilot runs at Ingolstadt Production Lab, announced at GTC Berlin on October 21
• Audi's material supply handles about 1 million picks per day
• Agile One combines human-height reach, dual arms and a wheeled base
• Dassault DELMIA and Nvidia Omniverse simulate cycle times, ergonomics and safety
