Humanoid Robots in Manufacturing
OT POSITION NOTE: We explore the reasons why humanoid robots will not dominate the production line. We also discuss niche applications where it can thrive. Generalized humanoid robots will not become prevalent at production-rated stations on manufacturing lines. Fit-to-function automation — fixed-arm robots, SCARA, delta pickers, cobots, purpose-built cells — will continue to dominate on cost, cycle time, precision, and maintainability. Humanoids will instead capture a diff
