Aptiv said it signed separate strategic collaboration agreements with TARS and Shanghai Electric during the 9th China International Import Expo. The company said the partnerships combine robot deployment in its manufacturing operations with integration of Aptiv products and technologies into new robotic platforms.
Hundreds of robots from the two partners are being gradually deployed on Aptiv’s production lines, moving from initial validation toward scaled deployment, according to the company. Aptiv said lessons from production will support further development and refinement of the robotic systems.
Aptiv said its high-performance computing platforms and intelligent power distribution solutions are among the first technologies to be integrated into robots from both partners, with initial production planned by the end of 2026. The announcement describes this as a plan rather than completed production.
