BMW introduces humanoid robots to European car plant

BMW is deploying humanoid robots at a car plant in Europe, the company announced, describing the technology as 'the future' of car making, BBC Business reported.

The move builds on similar projects BMW has already undertaken at facilities in the United States. The BBC report did not specify which European plant will host the robots or how many units are involved.

The announcement places BMW among a growing number of automakers testing humanoid robotics on the factory floor. The company gave no timeline for full-scale rollout or production targets linked to the programme.

For European manufacturing workers and policymakers, the deployment signals that industrial automation is moving beyond conventional robotic arms into machines designed to perform human-like tasks inside existing assembly lines.
