SALEM, Ore. – Imagine a factory that can make humanoid robots that can walk, run, and work like us. Sounds like a sci-fi movie, right? Well, it’s not. It’s RoboFab, and it’s opening soon here in the U.S.
RoboFab is a manufacturing facility in Salem, Oregon, that is set to open later this year. It is the brainchild of Agility Robotics, a company that specializes in creating biped robots that can navigate complex environments.
RoboFab will be the world’s first factory for humanoid robots, capable of churning out 10,000 robots a year. The factory will use advanced automation and assembly techniques to produce Digit, the flagship product of Agility Robotics.
Digit is a humanoid robot that can perform various tasks, such as carrying boxes, opening doors, and climbing stairs. Digit is not just a machine but, as the company claims, a robotic co-worker that can collaborate with humans and adapt to different situations.
According to the CEO of Agility Robotics, Digit will solve difficult problems in today’s workforce, such as injuries, burnout, high turnover, and unfillable labor gaps. Digit will also have applications in various industries, such as logistics, construction, entertainment, and healthcare.
