Advanced manufacturing facility for humanoid robots

A method comprising:

• manufacturing a robot in a manufacturing facility;
• determining that the robot satisfies one or more release conditions;
• in response to the determining, reclassifying the robot from a manufactured product to an active manufacturing resource of the manufacturing facility;
• registering the active manufacturing resource in a workforce registry that also includes human workers;
• selecting a task for the active manufacturing resource based at least in part on capability information associated with the active manufacturing resource;
• dispatching the active manufacturing resource to perform the task at a location in the manufacturing facility in connection with manufacture of a subsequent robot or a subassembly thereof;
• and
• monitoring performance of the active manufacturing resource during execution of the task.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

• maintain a workforce registry that stores, in a common data schema, records for human workers and robotic manufacturing assets of a manufacturing facility;
• detect that a robot manufactured in the manufacturing facility has satisfied one or more release conditions;
• in response to the detection, create a record in the workforce registry for the robot and populate the record with capability data;
• select a task for the robot by matching the capability data against task requirement data, the task relating to production of a subsequent robot or a subassembly thereof;
• dispatch the robot to perform the task at a location in the manufacturing facility;
• and
• monitor performance of the robot during execution of the task.
