Foxconn says more than 10 humanoid robots already work at its Texas sites
Brand Cheng, chairman of Foxconn Industrial Internet (FII), told Reuters on Oct. 30, 2026 that more than 10 humanoid robots have been deployed at Foxconn's Texas facilities for internal use. Cheng said Foxconn plans to extend deployment beyond Texas. Foxconn, Nvidia's biggest AI server maker, makes those servers in six factory buildings in Houston, Foxconn Chairman Young Liu said the same day.
According to presentation materials Reuters saw, FII introduced two wheeled models in October: one that lifts things vertically, and one that bends at the waist for assembly, loading and unloading. FII is developing AI models for humanoid robots based on Nvidia's GR00T foundation model.
Why it matters
The Reuters report doesn't say which jobs the robots do day to day or how much of their work is autonomous. Reuters first reported in June 2025 that Foxconn and Nvidia were in talks to put humanoid robots in the Houston plant, targeting the first quarter of 2026. In October 2025, Foxconn said the Houston factory would be among the first to deploy humanoid robots powered by Nvidia's Isaac GR00T N model.
