The first factory dedicated to mass-producing humanoid robots is set to open in the Pacific Northwest.
Agility Robotics CEO Damion Shelton revealed plans to produce 10,000 robots per year at the new “RoboFab” facility once it reaches its peak.
Agility Robotics, known for its walking and working robots like “Digit,” aims to become a major player in the U.S. robotics industry.
The move comes amid global efforts to increase the production of humanoid robots, with China setting ambitious goals for mass production by 2025.
“We’ve placed a very high priority on just getting robots out there as fast as possible,” Shelton told Axios.
“Our big plan is that we want to get to general-purpose humanoids as soon as we can.”
