About
Hexagon's AEON uses a hybrid wheeled-upper-body design optimized for factory floors rather than bipedal walking. Features 22+ sensors for sub-millimeter precision measurement, dual NVIDIA Jetson Orin for onboard AI, and hot-swappable lithium batteries for 24/7 operation. Moves at 2.5 m/s. Built for pick-and-place, machine tending, inspection, and digital twin capture. Priced at ~$150K per unit.
Deployment Notes
BMW Plant Leipzig pilot — 2 units for battery and component manufacturing, targeting full production by end of 2026. Also piloting at Schaeffler (QC scanning) and Pilatus (aerospace). Reported 40% faster QC scans with 99.9% accuracy.
