Before Humanoids Hit the Factory Floor: Validating the Future with Manufacturing Simulation

Humanoid systems are inherently complex, requiring substantial investment not only in physical hardware but also in intelligence, the “brain” of the robot. Expertise in sensors, control systems, machine learning, AI, and natural language interaction are all essential to humanoid development. At Siemens, this understanding is built through high-fidelity simulation. Using tools such as Tecnomatix Process Simulate, Siemens software enables manufacturers to precisely model how manufacturing labor resources respond to task requirements. With strong competencies in advanced robotics and human simulation, Siemens solutions are uniquely positioned to model flexible manufacturing environments that blend automation, human workers, and emerging humanoid systems.
