-BMW Group has successfully completed a pilot of deploying humanoid robots at its Spartanburg factory in South Carolina, the automaker announced in a press release Aug. 6.

-The pilot began earlier this year with California-based robotics company Figure, which designed its robots to perform hazardous, repetitive or physically demanding jobs. The robots may one day work alongside humans on BMW’s vehicle assembly lines.

-“The developments in the field of robotics are very promising. With an early test operation, we are now determining possible applications for humanoid robots in production, said Milan Nedeljković, member of the board of management for production at BMW.
