Humanoid

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. More here: thehumanoid.ai/humanoid-secur…

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! 🦾 🦾 🦾

@lukas_m_ziegler Thanks for the shoutout! Doing our best to make humanoids slightly less science fiction and slightly more factory floor 🦾

JUST IN: Two-year-old British startup Humanoid has just signed a deal to deploy 1,000+ humanoid robots into Schaeffler's live manufacturing operations. One of the largest humanoid rollouts ever announced. But buried in the contract is an even bigger number. As part of the deal, @SchaefflerGroup becomes Humanoid's preferred actuator supplier, covering 50%+ of Humanoid's joint actuator demand through 2031. The contract specifies a "seven-digit number of actuators." That's at least ONE MILLION actuators. Do the maths on that and Humanoid is implicitly committing to shipping around 100,000 robots across all its clients over the next five years. Phase one kicks off December 2026 across two Schaeffler sites in Germany. @TheHumanoidAI was founded in 2024, unveiled its robot in September 2025 after just a SEVEN month development cycle. It's operating on $50M in founder-led capital with 200 engineers from Apple, Tesla, Google, Boston Dynamics and NVIDIA By the way, the Schaeffler angle gets even more interesting. The German giant is now engaged with roughly 45 humanoid robotics players worldwide, simultaneously the most aggressive industrial buyer of humanoids AND a preferred component supplier to the robots it's purchasing. As one writer put it perfectly: Schaeffler is becoming the NVIDIA of humanoid robotics.

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

@TheHumanoidAI @SchaefflerGroup Congrats! 👏

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. More details here: thehumanoid.ai/humanoid-secur…

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

@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.

This humanoid isn't just looking cool. It's showing what's possible. With Humanoid + NVIDIA, the HMND 01 Alpha is taking on autonomous logistics tasks. Powered by physical #AI. Built on #SiemensXcelerator.

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: thehumanoid.ai/careers/

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. Watch here: reuters.com/video/watch/id…

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 🤖 #HumanoidRobots #Robotics #AI #BostonTech #RoboticsCommunity

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. Highlights 👇 #HannoverMesse #IndustrialAI #Robotics #Manufacturing #PhysicalAI #Automation
