Hexagon AEON

A wheel-legged industrial humanoid robot from Sweden's Hexagon, launched in 2025 with autonomous battery swapping.

AEON is an industrial humanoid robot that the Swedish measurement-technology company Hexagon launched on June 17, 2025, developed by its robotics division. Its lower body is “wheel-legged”: it has legs for posture adjustment, but wheels instead of feet, combining mobility with the ability to reach and balance. Reported specs include a height of 165 cm, a weight of 60 kg, 34 degrees of freedom, a 15 kg payload, and 12 onboard cameras plus a range of other sensors. It has a battery-swap mechanism that lets it keep working without downtime. AEON targets tasks such as loading and unloading parts, inspection, and “reality capture” — scanning objects with sensors to build 3D digital models — in industries like automotive, aerospace, and logistics. Partners include NVIDIA, Microsoft, and actuator maker maxon, with Schaeffler and Pilatus as its first pilot customers.

ExampleAt an aircraft-parts plant, AEON walks around a component with a handheld scanning tool, building a 3D digital model used for quality inspection.
