Tireless humanoid workers are truly entering factories
South Korea’s Neuromeka has partnered with local giant SL Corporation (a major player in automotive lighting, mirrors, and chassis components) to quietly deploy industrial humanoid robots in its facilities.
The system combines dual-arm humanoid collaboration with AMR autonomous mobility technology, enabling automated:
>PCB board cutting
>Automated loading and unloading
>Material handling and transport
>Processing assistance
It adapts seamlessly to existing complex production lines without requiring major modifications. The entire deployment is powered by Neuromeka’s EIR humanoid robot platform(Released at CES 2026)
Notably, South Korea has the world’s highest robot density (1,220 robots per 10,000 manufacturing workers), with traditional industrial robots already widely adopted.
Humanoid robots are now filling in the final piece of the puzzle:
while conventional robotic arms excel at fixed repetitive tasks, humanoid and dual-arm mobile robots bring greater flexibility and intelligent adaptability, allowing them to handle unstructured environments and complex collaborative tasks.

When humanoid robots are embedded within a vast collaborative network, the focus of evaluation no longer lies solely on the humanoid robots themselves.
AI Pioneer Geoff Hinton tells me he believes AI is conscious.... and humans better get used to the idea that they're not the only intelligent life on earth.
"They've very like us," he says. "They're beings like us."
AI chatbots, he says, must understand your questions in order to answer them. There's an awareness there that equates to sentience. "We're going to have to accept that intelligence is not just biological."
