How does AEON compare to Elon Musk's Tesla humanoid, Optimus?

We’re joined by the President of Hexagon’s Robotics division, Arnaud Robert, who is behind AEON, a humanoid artificial intelligence robot capable of autonomously completing various tasks.

Hexagon recently revealed AEON at the Hexagon LIVE Global event.

With support from Nvidia, their robot is designed to support the automotive, aerospace, transportation, and warehousing industries, safely and without direct supervision.

The robot has been designed to 'meet real-world customer needs' and 'address labour shortages'.

AEON humanoids are set for release in early 2026.
