PartnershipHexagon Robotics × Microsoft
2026-01-07Strategic partnership to advance humanoid robots using Microsoft Azure cloud, Fabric Real-Time Intelligence, Azure IoT Operations, and Azure App Service for scalable development and on-demand training of AEON capabilities.
PartnershipHexagon Robotics × BMW Group
2025-12-01BMW Group became the first company to deploy humanoid robots in production in Germany, piloting AEON at Plant Leipzig from December 2025. AEON performs production tasks in high-voltage battery assembly and component manufacturing, with full production deployment targeted by end of 2026.
PartnershipHexagon Robotics × NVIDIA
2025-06-17AEON is powered by NVIDIA's three-computer robotics platform: Omniverse for simulation, Isaac Sim/Lab for training, and Jetson Orin/IGX Thor for onboard compute. Hexagon uses NVIDIA Isaac GR00T N1.5 foundation model for robot policies.
PartnershipHexagon Robotics × Schaeffler
2025-06-17Schaeffler piloted AEON in 2025, then committed to deploying at least 1,000 AEON humanoids across its global factory network by 2032. Schaeffler will also supply high-precision actuators to Hexagon Robotics for AEON.
PartnershipHexagon Robotics × maxon
2025-06-17maxon's next-generation actuators power AEON's unique and efficient locomotion across multiple environments. Key component supplier for the humanoid's mobility system.
