Bigwave Robotics to deploy humanoids at modular housing plant

Bigwave Robotics said on Sept. 8 it will work with Space Manufacturing Lab, described as the country’s largest modular housing producer, to gradually apply humanoid robots at production and construction sites. The first process selected is insulation installation using fiberglass, which it said can harm workers’ respiratory systems and skin and is hard to automate with existing industrial robots. The companies plan to identify more tasks humanoids can replace and expand applications across construction.
