This weekly update shows how AI agents are changing factories around the world. These smart computer programs and robots are helping make products faster and safer.

In India, a company called Ati Motors created a new robot called Sherpa Mecha. This robot looks a bit like a person but is made to work in factories. It can carry heavy things and help with machines. The company says it is the world's first robot built just for real factory work. Unlike other robots that try to look exactly like humans, Sherpa Mecha focuses on doing useful jobs.

Meanwhile, humanoid robots are showing up in car factories across several countries. In the United States, Boston Dynamics will put its Atlas robot to work at a Hyundai car factory in Georgia this October. The robot will help organize car parts before workers put them together. Tesla already has robots called Optimus working in its California factory, and plans to have 1,000 of them by the end of the year. BMW in South Carolina uses Figure 02 robots that can do 1,000 tasks each day.

In South Korea, big companies are investing heavily in robot workers. The country started the K-Humanoid Alliance, a group of 40 companies and schools working together to build robots using only Korean technology. They plan to spend over $713 million by 2030. Posco, a steel company, is making an AI-powered crane that can move heavy steel without any human driver. This keeps workers safe from dangerous, hot areas.

AI agents are not just robots you can see. Some are software programs that work inside computers. A company called Factory raised $50 million to make AI agents called Droids. These digital helpers can write computer code and fix problems much faster than humans. Big companies like NVIDIA and Zapier say these agents help them finish work 31 times faster. Another startup called Burnt got $3.8 million to build AI agents that handle food orders. These agents read emails and listen to phone messages to process orders in seconds instead of hours.
