The Valencian firm RH BOTS has unveiled its autonomous humanoid robots Bonico and Bonica at Intralogistics Valencia, based on the AGIBOT X2 model. With an open-source approach, these robots are designed to take on repetitive tasks in industrial and logistics environments. The company emphasizes that the initiative aims to democratize physical artificial intelligence to improve business efficiency, without replacing people.
Open source and autonomy for industry 🤖
Bonico and Bonica, identified as AGIBOT X2, are humanoid robotic platforms that operate autonomously in warehouses and factories. Their open-source architecture allows companies to modify and adapt the software to their specific processes. Equipped with sensors and navigation systems, they perform tasks such as picking, transporting light loads, or inventory management. RH BOTS also presented the AGIBOT C5 cleaning robot, focused on maintaining industrial surfaces. The proposal aims to reduce operational costs without eliminating jobs, according to the company.
Bonico and Bonica: the colleagues who never ask for a raise 😅
The arrival of Bonico and Bonica on the production floor promises to be a relief for HR managers: they work without complaining, don't need coffee breaks, and never ask for a raise. That said, they also don't tell bad jokes at the coffee machine or take the last croissant. The company assures they are not looking to replace anyone, but perhaps humans should start practicing their welcome smile for the new metallic colleague.
