A demonstration on the production floor

We demonstrated our Unitree G1 humanoid robot at AquafilSLO in Celje, one of Europe’s leading companies in the circular economy, known for its innovative ECONYL regenerated fibres. The demonstration was led by our CEO, Miha Golčer, and explored how humanoid robots can complement human skills in advanced production environments.

Under the leadership of Stanko Kolar, CEO of Aquafil’s Celje production facility, we showcased how a humanoid robot can already operate in a collaborative mode alongside people, supporting tasks, interacting naturally and adapting to real industrial contexts.

Our humanoid robot Jože took the demonstration a step further. Powered by our AI cognitive voice platform, Jože held fluent, real-time conversations with the Aquafil team, explaining his current capabilities and sharing a vision of what humanoid robots will soon bring to the production floor.

Looking ahead

Together we also explored future scenarios for humanoid robots in industry:

  • Seamless human-robot collaboration in manufacturing.
  • Increased efficiency without compromising human-centric values.
  • Practical deployment through our Humanoid Robots as a Service (HRaaS) platform.

This is precisely the future we are building, one where companies can easily integrate humanoid robots into real use cases, without complexity.

We thank Stanko Kolar and the entire Aquafil team for the warm welcome and the inspiring discussions. For us, this is only the beginning.
