AYA Robotics made history by deploying its humanoid robot at the largest seawater desalination station in Africa. The Unitree G1, branded with the COX logo, walked through the industrial facility, demonstrating the potential of humanoid robotics in large-scale infrastructure and industrial environments.
The visit showcased how humanoid robots can operate in demanding industrial settings — navigating complex terrain, interacting with engineering teams, and demonstrating autonomous mobility in real-world conditions. The robot moved through the plant’s outdoor installations and indoor control areas with impressive stability.
This deployment represents a major milestone for robotics in Morocco and across Africa. By bringing advanced humanoid technology to critical infrastructure like desalination plants, AYA Robotics is proving that the future of industrial inspection, monitoring, and assistance is already here.
The COX desalination station plays a vital role in addressing water scarcity in the region. The integration of robotic technology at such facilities opens new possibilities for automated inspection, predictive maintenance, and operational efficiency — reducing human exposure to hazardous environments while improving data collection and decision-making.
AYA Robotics continues to push the boundaries of what humanoid robots can achieve in real-world industrial applications, positioning Morocco as a pioneer in the adoption of advanced robotics across Africa.
