La Derecha Diario Córdoba begins training humanoid robots to replace repetitive tasks
A local company has already started the process of incorporating robots in sectors such as automotive and logistics before the end of the year
A company from Córdoba has taken an important step toward industrial automation in Argentina. This is Robots for Humanity, which will train humanoid robots to work in factories. They are targeting sectors such as automotive, auto parts, and logistics, where physically demanding tasks are repeated.
The technology combines hardware imported from China with artificial intelligence developed locally. The goal is to have active robots before the end of the year. The aim is for them to perform tasks that currently involve physical wear and risk of injury for workers.
The company is surveying tasks in eight local factories to determine where to deploy the robots. However, it should be noted that the robots are not intended to replace personnel but to improve working conditions. "The idea is for workers to move to higher value-added functions," explained Alejandro Parise, the company's founder.
From waiters to operators: the first steps of change
Each robot costs about 100,000 dollars and training can last between one and five months, depending on the complexity of the task to be performed. A digital twin system of the work environment is used, which is first trained in simulators before being deployed in the factory.
The company will travel to China in August to finalize the purchase with at least 15 humanoid robot manufacturers. In Oncativo, there was a previous experience with a robot waitress. Now the objective is much more ambitious: to insert them into production lines of key industries.
"The technology is meant to complement the human worker, not to eliminate them," company representatives stated. Thus, Córdoba is positioning itself as a pioneer in applying robotics to work. If the project moves forward, it could change production processes throughout the country.
