Foxconn and Nvidia are gearing up to transform the landscape of AI server production with the introduction of humanoid robots at Foxconn’s new Houston, Texas factory. This facility is slated to assemble Nvidia’s state-of-the-art GB300 AI servers, and if all goes according to plan, humanoid robots could be working on the production line as early as the first quarter of 2026.
This initiative is more than just a technological upgrade—it’s a milestone. It marks the first time Nvidia products will be built with the help of humanoid robots, and it’s Foxconn’s inaugural AI server plant in the U.S. to integrate advanced robotics directly into its workflow. The Houston plant’s modern, spacious design is perfectly suited for the deployment of these robots, which are being trained for tasks like picking and placing components, inserting cables, and assisting with assembly.
Foxconn isn’t relying on a single solution. The company is developing its own humanoid robots in partnership with Nvidia, while also testing models from other manufacturers such as China’s UBTech. Later this year, Foxconn plans to unveil two robot models: one that walks on legs and another that uses a wheeled autonomous mobile robot (AMR) base, offering a more affordable option for certain tasks.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has been outspoken about the future of humanoid robots, predicting their widespread adoption in manufacturing within five years. This vision aligns with Nvidia’s broader push to expand manufacturing in the U.S., including new partnerships in Dallas with Wistron, alongside the Houston Foxconn facility, both set to ramp up production within the next 12 to 15 months.
Nvidia is also advancing the field by releasing open platform models like the Isaac GR00T N1 circuit board, designed to help developers create versatile robots for various environments. Meanwhile, Foxconn is leveraging AI and digital twin technologies to optimize assembly workflows and smart manufacturing, as highlighted in recent industry presentations.
The collaboration between Foxconn and Nvidia signals a transformative shift for the manufacturing sector. Humanoid robots are poised to augment human labor, boost efficiency, and set new standards for AI-driven production lines. As these technologies move from concept to reality, the Houston factory could become a blueprint for the next generation of smart manufacturing in the U.S.
