What does this mean for workers? Autonomique's move touches 2 jobs, which together employ about 1.4 million people in the U.S. Across them, AI and robots already touch between 19m (team assemblers) and 3h 26m (machine feeders and offbearers) of a typical 8-hour shift. A single company's move is an early signal for these jobs, and the time cards show how far the change has spread nationally.
A pilot is a limited test, often at a few sites, that may or may not expand.
On the floor
- Autonomique moves semi-humanoid robot toward production at F&P Mfg.
After a paid pilot that began in late 2025, Autonomique says its wheeled two-armed robot is progressing toward production use at Tier 1 auto supplier F&P Mfg. in Tottenham, Ontario. The robot picks parts from bins for assembly, monitors a press and places finished parts into bins.
