Foxconn and Nvidia Eye Humanoid Robots for Houston AI-Server Line

Foxconn and Nvidia discuss deploying humanoid robots at Foxconn’s new Houston factory, set to produce Nvidia’s GB300 AI servers starting early next year . The deal remains under wraps, but sources told Reuters they expect deployment in the first quarter of 2026 .

These robots are trained to pick and place objects, insert cables, and perform assembly tasks. Foxconn has experimented with its own designs and UBTech’s humanoid models. The facility in Houston offers ample space, making it ideal for testing advanced robotics in real-world production.

Nvidia products will be among the first to roll off the line with humanoid robot assistance, and Foxconn will use such robots in AI-server manufacturing for the first time. Foxconn plans to showcase two robot versions, one one-legged and one-wheeled, at its November tech event.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang flagged this push back in March when he said humanoid robots could hit mainstream manufacturing within five years. The move aligns with broader trends in U.S. manufacturing. Nvidia is already building AI supercomputer plants in Texas, with partners Foxconn and Wistron, targeting American production worth up to $500 billion over the next four years .

Using humanoid robots could drive efficiency and reduce costs. Their ability to handle repetitive tasks around the clock offers an edge over rigid automation. But they also raise questions about workforce impact and upfront investment.

This collaboration signals a shift in manufacturing: high-performance AI hardware built partly by high-tech robots. By early 2026, Houston might become a proving ground for humanoid labor in a major tech supply chain. Over time, if successful, this model could spread across Nvidia’s U.S. operations—and beyond.
