From the video's description

How is Schaeffler preparing to deploy humanoid robotics at scale? At Schaeffler’s Humanoid Gym in Erlangen, Germany, teams are working with Hexagon Robotics to train and validate AEON for real manufacturing operations. In this testimonial, Andreas Zeug, Project Manager Humanoid Robotics, Advanced Automation, at Schaeffler, shares how the Humanoid Gym helps expand AEON’s range of industrial applications, build hands-on experience, and prepare both the robot and the organisation for deployment. Key topics: • Training AEON for real manufacturing operations • Expanding industrial use cases • Validating capabilities before factory-floor deployment • Building hands-on experience with humanoid robotics • Preparing to scale across manufacturing operations Speaker: Andreas Zeug, Project Manager Humanoid Robotics Advanced Automation, Schaeffler Learn more about the collaboration: robotics.hex…
