BMW is testing AI-powered humanoid robots in Germany to boost factory efficiency and safety.
BMW今年夏天在德国的Leipzig工厂启动一个试点方案,从瑞典的Hexagon公司(名为AEON)部署两台AI型人造机器人,协助组装、部件处理和高压电池生产。
BMW is launching a pilot program this summer at its Leipzig factory in Germany, deploying two AI-powered humanoid robots from Swedish company Hexagon, named AEON, to assist with assembly, component handling, and high-voltage battery production.
这些机器人身高1.65米高,配备了22个传感器和多摄像头,可以自主地在工厂环境中行驶,做出实时决定,在一个电池上操作大约3小时,一个电池可在一分钟内交换。
The robots, standing 1.65 meters tall and equipped with 22 sensors and multiple cameras, can navigate factory environments autonomously, make real-time decisions, and operate for about three hours on a single battery, which can be swapped in under a minute.
在南卡罗来纳州成功试验之后,这项举措是BMW更广泛的 " 物理人工智能 " 战略的一部分,目的是提高效率和工人安全,同时不取代员工。
The initiative, part of BMW’s broader "Physical AI" strategy, follows successful trials in South Carolina and aims to enhance efficiency and worker safety without replacing human employees.
这一举动反映了欧洲制造业在中国汽车制造商竞争日益激烈的情况下日益增强的自动化努力。
