Agility Robotics Announces Strategic Investment and Humanoid Robot Supply Agreement With Schaeffler

Agility Robotics announced that motion technology company Schaeffler would make a minority investment in the company and that the two companies had signed an agreement for Schaeffler to buy humanoid robots from Agility Robotics. Schaeffler has referred to the possibility of deploying a large number of humanoid robots across its global network of 100 factories by 2030.

The key point is that Agility Robotics' humanoid robots were presented under a supply agreement intended for use across Schaeffler's global factory network. In addition to making a minority investment, Schaeffler said it could deploy a large number of robots across its network of 100 factories by 2030. The announcement thus offers a view, as described by the companies, of humanoid robots' applications expanding beyond logistics to operations on manufacturing floors.
