Humanoid

First AI and robotics company in the UK, creating the world’s leading, commercially scalable, and safe humanoid robots.

[Humanoid @TheHumanoidAI]

Today, after the successful completion of a joint POC in March 2026, we announce a partnership with @BoschGlobal , marking the transition to scaled production of humanoid robots.

The POC focused on an intralogistics use case: HMND 01 robots autonomously transferred boxes from a conveyor to a trolley in Bosch’s dynamic logistics environment in Bühl, Germany. The POC involved handling 5 different box sizes across multiple footprints, heights and varying weights. The project’s goals included developing advanced scanning and handling capabilities, managing inputs from multiple conveyors, and demonstrating system adaptability in dynamic environments.

“For Humanoid, this agreement is a critical step in our roadmap, bridging the gap between POC validation and large-scale deployment.” — @ArtSokolov, Founder and CEO of Humanoid.

Following these results, Humanoid and Bosch have entered into a manufacturing agreement to produce HMND 01 robots for the European market.

Great to see Humanoid included in this map of robotics and AI companies in London.

London is indeed a great place to build robotics right now: we’ve met a lot of incredibly talented people here, and some of them have even become our colleagues and partners.

At Humanoid, we’re proud to be part of a growing community pushing robotics from research and prototypes toward real-world deployment.

Thanks to @lukas_m_ziegler for putting this map together and helping spotlight the ecosystem 🦾

Another week, another robotics map! 🇬🇧

This time, we will take a closer look at the busy streets of London and see what robotics companies are located there.

London has excellent engineers and researchers, especially from universities like @imperialcollege and @ucl, which are well known for robotics, AI, and engineering. Many robotics founders and early employees come directly from these universities.

London is home to @GoogleDeepMind, one of the world’s leading AI labs. Its work on robot learning, control, and general AI has helped push forward how robots learn and adapt in the real world.

The city also has one of Europe’s strongest investor ecosystems. London is a major global finance hub, so it’s easier to find venture capital, corporate investors, and early customers, especially for robotics companies working in areas like logistics, healthcare, and automation.

It is very international and business-friendly. It’s easy to hire talent from around the world, set up a company, and sell globally.

After recent @BoschGlobal and @SchaefflerGroup announcements, Humanoid is entering a new stage of growth and looking for new people to join the team.

We’re scaling globally and hiring across London, Boston, Vancouver, and San Diego in Business Development, Engineering, Finance, HR, Operations, and Product.

If you want to build at speed and help bring humanoid robots into real deployment, join us.

Open roles: https://t.co/5OTnCi5m13

[Humanoid @TheHumanoidAI]

How do you train robots new skills in days rather than months?

At Humanoid, we built a unique data collection and training pipeline.

@Reuters visited our lab to explore how we use UMI and egocentric data collection to generate high-fidelity datasets for robot learning.

This is how robots learn faster, adapt better, and move closer to real-world deployment.

42,000 sq ft.

Can you guess what this number means?

Humanoid is moving to a new London office at One Triton Square, Regent’s Place — giving our team, and our robots, more room to build, test, iterate, and scale.

Huge thanks to Royal London Asset Management, @BritishLandPLC, and everyone who made this happen.

As Thomas Shepherd, Chief Operating Officer at Humanoid, said:

“Since founding two years ago, we've grown from our first 3,000 sq ft office to 42,000 sq ft at One Triton Square.

The new space will give us the environment to further scale our team, accelerate development, and build within one of Europe's most dynamic tech ecosystems”.

Well said, Thomas — now it’s time to build more robots! 🦾 🦾 🦾

[Humanoid @TheHumanoidAI]

@lukas_m_ziegler Thanks for the shoutout!

Doing our best to make humanoids slightly less science fiction and slightly more factory floor 🦾

[Humanoid @TheHumanoidAI]

@NVIDIARobotics @SchaefflerGroup @NVIDIARobotics Thank you for supporting us on this journey!

[Humanoid @TheHumanoidAI]

Big announcement for Humanoid: we’ve secured a landmark deal with @SchaefflerGroup to deploy thousands of humanoid robots.

Humanoid has signed a binding, phased deployment with Schaeffler, a leading Motion Technology Company, to integrate humanoid robots directly into live manufacturing operations. The first systems go live in Germany before the end of 2026.

The agreement is structured around a Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) model. Under this model, Humanoid provides the robotic systems together with the related services required for end-to-end deployment and operation, including connection to the fleet management software, maintenance, 24/7 technical support, updates, and ongoing performance management.

In addition to the deployment contract, Humanoid has also signed a 5-year supply agreement with Schaeffler for supply of actuators.

[Humanoid @TheHumanoidAI]

@SchaefflerGroup This achievement wouldn’t be possible without our strong partnership with @NVIDIARobotics and a simulation-first approach to Physical AI development.

[Humanoid @TheHumanoidAI]

@Siemens Thank you for the support, @Siemens. Proud to collaborate with you and NVIDIA to show what Physical AI can look like in real industrial workflows.

[Humanoid @TheHumanoidAI]

Three ways to spend your summer building robots in London. Humanoid Summer 2026 internships are open.

Three domains open this summer:

- Controls — Train the robot to move, balance, and manipulate in the real world.

- Perception & Spatial AI — Teach the robot to see and understand the world.

- Software Engineering — Build the stack that keeps everything running.

Pick your domain. Build your solution. Submit your GitHub repo.

The best applications won't look like anyone else's. We're not after polish, we're after originality, technical depth, and the kind of thinking that solves problems no one's solved yet.

If you're a student, recent grad, or self-taught builder — this is your invitation.

Applications close 25 May. Apply here: https://t.co/5OTnCi4Obv

Proud to see Humanoid featured by @Reuters in their latest video on humanoid robotics, as Physical AI moves from concept to real-world deployment.

At Humanoid, we are building a range of humanoid robotic products aimed at addressing physical labour demand across multiple sectors, from industrial environments to service and home applications. We are building our AI stack, KinetIQ, in a way that unifies different products and leverages shared capabilities between them as much as possible.

We’ve been included in @CBinsights AI 100: The most promising AI startups of 2026.

Out of 17,000+ companies, 100 were selected — and Humanoid is one of them.

This year, we also moved from the “validating” category into “deploying” — a strong signal of the progress behind HMND 01 Alpha and KinetIQ.

Huge thanks to the team and our partners.

Proud of how far we’ve come and excited about what’s ahead!

Hosted our first Boston networking event to mark 1 year of Humanoid Boston.

Brought together the local robotics community for demos + lab tours: Alpha robot, Synapse (RTC protocol), VLA model, custom actuators.

We kicked things off with opening remarks from Devin Billings, Head of Core Platform, who shared the journey of our Boston office from its early days to where we are today.

Guests then explored a series of interactive stations:
• Matt — Custom actuators
• Andy — Robot demo & lab walkthrough
• Brian — Synapse protocol showcase

Great conversations all around 🤖

Last week at #HannoverMesse, our Alpha robot became a bit of a crowd magnet at the Siemens booth.

Turns out robots are pretty good at stealing the spotlight.

Using the shoe production line as an example, the setup demonstrated how AI, robotics, and traditional manufacturing can work together within a single workflow.

Our robot performed tote handling tasks as part of this integrated environment — not in isolation, but as one component of a larger system.

Thanks @Siemens, @NVIDIARobotics, and the team at Humanoid who made it happen.

Physical AI is moving from vision to factory floor.

@Siemens and Humanoid announced a major milestone. HMND 01 wheeled Alpha humanoid robot built on the @NVIDIARobotics physical AI stack, was successfully tested at Siemens’ electronics factory in Erlangen, Germany, performing autonomous logistics tasks.

A big step toward fully AI-driven, adaptive manufacturing.
