Manufacturing

Humanoids on the line, working the same stations as people.

Factories are built around human reach, human tools, and human workflows — which makes them the natural first home for humanoid labor. The platforms below are being piloted for assembly assist, machine tending, inspection, and material movement. CosmicBrain adds the teleop, data, and deployment layer that turns a pilot cell into a production line.

01 / Where we can start

Small tasks.
Meaningful possibilities.

A

Assembly Assist

Holding parts, feeding components, driving fasteners, and running repetitive sub-assembly steps next to human operators.

  • Start with one repeatable, ergonomically painful task
  • Collaborative operation needs safety docs plus an on-site risk assessment
  • Measure changeover time on your product mix, not the demo's
T

Machine Tending

Loading and unloading CNC machines, injection molders, and press brakes with consistent cycle discipline.

  • Prove one cell before assuming multi-machine coverage
  • Test your real part geometry and fixturing, not sample parts
  • Controller integration is a procurement requirement, not a nice-to-have
Q

Quality Inspection

Visual and tactile inspection of parts and packaging with data traceable to unit, batch, or work order.

  • Validate thresholds against your existing quality system
  • Keep a human review path for ambiguous findings
  • Traceability is the value — insist on exportable inspection data
L

Material Transport

Moving work-in-process, tools, and supplies between stations, staging areas, and storage.

  • Test navigation around forklifts and shifting layouts
  • Verify payload against your actual containers
  • MES / dispatch integration determines real operational value
