It also said it uses data from more than 230 factories worldwide for AI training.

Why it matters

Bosch has shown that its role is to provide foundational technologies—including the ctrlX AUTOMATION control platform, motors, drives and MEMS sensors—rather than humanoid robots themselves. The article clarifies the specific roles the company plays in the control, drive and sensing systems needed to operate robots in factories.
