The world’s first factory mass-produced humanoid robots will soon be opening in the Pacific Northwest. God help us all.
Agility Robotics CEO Damion Shelton told Axios in an unsettling interview that the company is slated to make 10,000 robots at its “RoboFab” facility once it reaches its “peak.”
Shelton used the term “humanoids” to refer to its walking and working robots produced for companies like Amazon. The company’s forthcoming move from its smaller factory in the tiny town of Tangent, Oregon to the much larger “RoboFab” plant in the nearby city of Salem will see it going from a tangential player in the robotics sphere to, if successful, one of the largest-producing in the United States.
