AEON Robot, Created by Hexagon with NVIDIA Technology, Promises to Transform Factories with AI in Real Time and Advanced Simulation.

The advancement of modern industry demands precision, agility, and automation. Addressing this reality, Hexagon unveiled the humanoid Robot AEON during its annual Hexagon LIVE Global conference.

The innovation marks an important step in the use of robotics in industrial environments, combining artificial intelligence, advanced sensors, and digital simulation.

Assistant for Multiple Industries

The humanoid robot AEON was developed to operate in various sectors, such as manufacturing, transportation, aerospace, and logistics.

Training in a Virtual Environment

To accelerate its preparation, Hexagon utilized NVIDIA’s Isaac platform to train AEON almost entirely in simulation.

Through Isaac Sim and Isaac Lab, the robot learned locomotion, navigation, and handling without entering a real factory.

This process allowed AEON to master essential movements in just two to three weeks, while traditional methods would take months to achieve the same result.

NVIDIA’s Cutting-Edge Infrastructure

The robot’s performance is supported by a complete technology framework from NVIDIA. Currently, AEON operates with Jetson Orin computers for real-time decision-making. It will soon be upgraded to the IGX Thor platform, focusing on collaborative safety.

Deepu Talla, vice president of NVIDIA, believes that the era of general-purpose robotics is solidifying thanks to advancements in physical AI and simulation.

For him, AEON represents a significant leap in addressing major industrial challenges.

Additionally, the robot uses the Isaac GR00T model and NVIDIA’s Mimic tools to learn from human demonstrations and generate synthetic movements. This allows AEON to expand its repertoire of tasks quickly.

Integration with Cloud and Digital Reality

Another highlight of AEON is its ability to autonomously scan everything from small items to complete assembly lines. The collected data is sent to Hexagon’s Reality Cloud Studio via the HxDR system.

This enables teams to collaborate using 3D models within NVIDIA Omniverse.

This functionality brings industrial processes closer to creating digital twins, which, according to Lucas Heinzle, vice president of Hexagon Robotics, makes workflows simpler and more collaborative.

The company announced that AEON is expected to start being tested in factories and logistics centers in the coming months.

The expectation is that it will help establish a new era of scalable automation, based on simulation and prepared for the challenges of today’s industry.

While an average building in London or New York takes three years to be completed, in China a 26-story tower went up in five days with about 100 workers, and the global modular construction market already moves US$ 95 billion per year.

A Chinese factory in Guangdong is assembling a humanoid robot every 30 minutes while Tesla, Figure, and Boston Dynamics still struggle to deliver 10 thousand per year.

Australia installs giant concrete structures on the seabed 800 meters from the shore to create an ocean intake for desalination that will draw in saltwater and produce 30 million liters of drinking water per day.

Secret chamber sealed 4,500 years ago found in the Pyramid of Khufu, and Hawass announces its opening to the world in 2026

A public school student single-handedly created a machine capable of treating water for up to 50 people using only solar energy. It was awarded third place at one of the most important science fairs in the world.

Germany installed vertical solar panels on a lake in Bavaria, and the result broke conventional logic: instead of producing energy at midday peak, the plant generates more early in the morning and in the evening, exactly when families turn on appliances and factories are in full swing.

While communities suffer from water scarcity and the advancing desert, women in Morocco use nets high up in the mountains to trap fog droplets, fill reservoirs, and transport drinking water through more than 10 km of piping.

New free training in artificial intelligence offered by the government promises to train thousands of public service professionals with online classes, automation tools, predictive analysis, and strategic use of AI to accelerate digital transformation in Brazil.

Oil, jobs, and industry: ABESPETRO executive explains why Brazil has not yet reached the development of wealthy countries

Mayor gathers street sweepers in public square, simulates mass dismissal, and turns shock into emotion by announcing a salary of R$ 3,500: “You deserve it for everything you do for the city”

Goodbye common refrigerator: Samsung creates a hybrid refrigerator with an inverter compressor, Peltier module, and artificial intelligence that works like a hybrid car to cool food more precisely.

A volcanic island emerged out of nowhere in the ocean in 1963, has been isolated from humanity since day one, and became a forbidden laboratory where scientists observe how life invades a land that should not exist.
