Jabil Says Humanoid Robots Are Moving Toward Tens-of-Thousands Production Volumes
Overview
Jabil senior director Thomas Brown says humanoid robots are entering a phase of tens of thousands of units, where manufacturability, cost structure, and quality become the central concerns.
He says Jabil works with robot developers to reduce costs for scale, and that compute and memory prices remain a pain point. Brown also says humanoids make sense in factories and warehouses, while mobile arms remain better suited to high-speed tasks. These are Brown's statements as reported by The Robot Report; the report does not include production figures or timelines from Jabil.
