Meet AEON: The Robot BMW Is Testing in Its Plants Right Now

We went inside BMW's Munich headquarters to meet AEON — a humanoid robot from Hexagon that's being tested in BMW's manufacturing plants right now. We sat down with Michael, BMW's head of digital plant operations, to find out how this robot handles quality control, body-in-white scanning, bin picking, and more — and why BMW chose a European solution over the competition.
We also get into the physical AI behind AEON, how it learns new skills through teleoperation, why it has wheels instead of legs, and the biggest hurdles still standing in the way of full-scale industrial robot adoption.
