Making their U.S. debut, Foxconn's AI-powered industrial humanoid robots were developed in collaboration with NVIDIA and utilize technologies like NVIDIA Isaac GR00T and Jetson Thor.The robots are capable of autonomously executing repetitive, high-precision factory operations, such as material handling, pick-and-place, and screw fastening.

Additionally, Foxconn and its partners introduced a new generation of modular data centers designed to meet the ultra-high-density electrical and computing demands of modern AI models.The highly standardized and modular designs aim to transform complex data center construction into replicable, expandable industrialized solutions for enterprises.

Foxconn's delegation at this year's conference doubled in size, bringing over 100 executives, scientists, and engineers to San Jose to share innovations.The company's exhibition featured the "Genesis" AI initiative, which uses NVIDIA Omniverse and Foxconn FactoryGPT to create digital twins that simulate strategies and feed decisions back to real-world production lines for continuous optimization.

Other technological highlights included Smart City applications integrated with NVIDIA Metropolis, Smart EV features utilizing the proprietary FoxBrain large-language model, and a healthcare AI ecosystem that includes scrub nurse collaborative robotics and cardiovascular digital twins.

Foxconn is currently executing a global AI infrastructure strategy with more than 1 gigawatt of deployed capacity.Established in Taiwan in 1974, the manufacturer reported unaudited and consolidated revenues of approximately $260 billion in 2025.
