- Foxconn prepares robots to perform manual tasks such as cable insertion and part unit
- Nvidia can be the first to use humanoid robots in its AI server production line
- Foxconns Houston -Fabrik was selected for its larger space and adaptable new layout design
Foxconn and Nvidia reportedly discuss plans to implement humanoidal robots at a new AI server production facility in Houston.
If implemented, this would be the first time humanoids used in the collection of NVIDIA products and Foxconn’s first AI server line to integrate them.
Sources who know the case that refused to be named told Pakinomist that the implementation could soon be terminated with operations that may be began in the first quarter of 2026.
New Factory Layout makes robotics more feasible
Houston was considered a strategic choice because of its new facility design and greater available space compared to existing AI server production sites.
However, neither NVIDIA nor Foxconn have officially confirmed the plan, but the reports are in line with both companies’ growing interest in automation and robotics, especially in areas that require speed and flexibility, such as AI server production.
Foxconn has developed its own humanoid robots through its subsidiary Foxconn Industrial Internet and also trains robots to perform basic tasks such as cable entry, object placement and easy collection work.
At a recent event in Taipei, Leo Guo, General Manager for the company’s robotics department, revealed that two types of robots will be presented in November 2025.
One version has legs while the other is mounted on an autonomous mobile base, which Guo said “would cost less than the version with his legs,” though he refused to share specific numbers.
Nvidia, in turn, has a strong proportion in the humanoid Robotics field as it delivers AI platforms that many developers use to create humanoid machines.
At his recent NVIDIA GTC 2025 event, CEO Jensen Huang said that the widespread use of such robots in the production was “less than five years away.”
Nvidia’s wider plans in Texas include another partnership in Dallas with Wistron, and both are expected to begin production within 12 to 15 months.
Still is an unanswered question: If Nvidia presses on for Humanoid Robots in the United States, where will these robots be exactly built?
Foxconn can turn to Taiwan, where its robotic unit is based or to China, where it operates large factories and has previously worked with Ubtech.
Vietnam and India are also plausible choices, given Foxconn’s ongoing expansion in these countries to reduce production costs.
Alternatively, the company could outsource components to established robot manufacturers in Japan or South Korea, where technology is more advanced and well established.
While the United States could be considered for local production, this is probably part of a longer term strategy.
This important detail will determine how scalable the procedure is and whether the future of automated manufacturing will rely on global supply chains or more local development.
