- Foxconn is preparing robots to perform manual tasks such as cable insertion and piece assembly
- Nvidia can become the first to use humanoid robots in its AI server production line
- The Foxconn Houston Factory was selected for its largest space and a new adaptable design design
According to reports, Foxconn and Nvidia are discussing plans to implement humanoid robots in a new IA server production installation in Houston.
If implemented, this would be the first time that humanoids are used in the assembly of NVIDIA products and the first server line of Foxconn to incorporate them.
The familiar sources with the matter, which declined to be named, told PakGazette that the deployment could be completed soon, with operations possibly from the first quarter of 2026.
The new factory design makes robotics more feasible
Houston was considered a strategic option due to its new facilities design and a more available space compared to existing AI servers manufacturing sites.
However, neither Nvidia nor Foxconn have officially confirmed the plan, but the reports are aligned with the growing interest of companies in automation and robotics, particularly in areas that require speed and flexibility, such as the production of AI servers.
Foxconn has been developing its own humanoid robots through its subsidiary Foxconn Industrial Internet and is also training robots to do basic tasks such as cable insertion, object placement and light assembly work.
In a recent event in Taipei, Leo Guo, general manager of the company’s robotics division, revealed that two types of robots will be exhibited in November 2025.
One version has legs, while the other is mounted on an autonomous mobile base with wheels, which Guo said that “it would cost less than the leg version”, although he refused to share specific figures.
Nvidia, meanwhile, has a strong participation in the field of humanoid robotics, since it provides the AI platforms used by many developers to create humanoid machines.
In his recent Nvidia GTC 2025 event, CEO Jensen Huang declared that the widespread use of such robots in manufacturing was “less than five years.”
The broader plans of NVIDIA in Texas include a second association in Dallas with Wistron, and both places are expected to begin production within 12 to 15 months.
Even so, an unanswered question persists: if Nvidia is pressing by humanoid robots in the United States, where will these robots be built?
Foxconn can resort to Taiwan, where his robotics unit is based, or China, where he operates large -scale factories and has previously collaborated with Ubtech.
Vietnam and India are also plausible options, given the continuous expansion of Foxconn in those countries to reduce production costs.
Alternatively, the company could outsource the components to robotics manufacturers established in Japan or South Korea, where technology is more advanced and well established.
While the United States could be considered for localized production, this is likely to be part of a longer term strategy.
This key detail will determine how scalable is the approach and if the future of automated manufacturing will depend on global supply chains or a more localized development.
