Humanoid

What’s behind our AI stack KinetIQ? In our recent demo, we showed how it orchestrates multiple tasks across industrial and service environments. Today, we’re releasing a blog post that details the technical foundations behind it. Read here: thehumanoid.ai/ai/ Our ambition is to build what we think of as a capability factory. It's a scalable, cost-efficient way to create, validate, and harden complex fleet-level behaviors that meet real-world standards. One example is the sport-mode data preprocessing technique. In this video, we compare standard 1x execution, a naive 2.6x runtime speedup, and data-side acceleration with sport-mode preprocessing. It’s only one small piece of the overall architecture. The full blog post goes much deeper into the system design.

Great to be part of #NVIDIAGTC this year. As Jensen said, AI is moving into the physical world and at our booth, visitors experienced it firsthand. Thanks @NVIDIARobotics for helping make this possible!

We’ll be at #NVIDIAGTC, March 16–19 in San Jose with a live robotics demo. Stop by and experience real-time collaboration between robots, voice command interpretation, and more. The whole thing runs on our AI system KinetIQ, built on the @NVIDIARobotics stack. It’s a small glimpse of how Physical AI is starting to show up in the real world. If you’re at GTC, come see it live and meet the Humanoid team.

This week we welcomed @OxfordAI to Humanoid — Oxford's student-led AI community bringing together some of the university's sharpest minds. Three talks. Three perspectives on the future of robotics: Boris Yangel, our Head of AI, opened with his vision for what's ahead for robotics and AI. Giulio Cerruti, Head of Control, broke down our KinetiQ architecture and why we're betting on a hybrid approach with both bipedal and wheeled robots. Gourav Wadhwa, ML Engineer, went deep on how we actually train our robots to move and interact. And yes — robot stompiness is an important thing to consider! But the best part? The questions that followed. Human-robot interaction. Hard vs. soft robotics. The kind of sharp, genuine exchange that reminds you why this work matters. The next wave of talent in robotics and AI is already here! Thanks @OxfordAI — let's do it again. 🤖

Over the past 150 years, only a few inventions have changed the world. Phones, cars, computers. Humanoids will be the next big thing. Today, we’re releasing our new documentary, an honest look at what it really takes to be part of the humanoid race. You’ll hear from engineering, hardware, product, and other teams building the robot. Welcome behind the scenes! Watch here: youtube.com/watch?v=-G8q-N…

What does it really take to be part of the humanoid race? Watch our behind-the-scenes story tomorrow.

We’re #hiring! As we continue to scale #humanoid #robotics from research into real-world deployment, including the development of our KinetIQ AI framework for robot fleet orchestration. We have 70+ open roles across London, Boston, and Vancouver, spanning AI, robotics, engineering, and operations. Explore our open roles here: thehumanoid.ai/careers/

Today, we’re introducing KinetIQ, our own AI framework for end-to-end orchestration of humanoid robot fleets. One system, multiple robot embodiments. Industrial, service and home environments coordinated in real time. The framework consists of 4 cognitive layers: from high-level task allocation and workflow optimisation down to VLA-based task execution and RL-trained whole-body control. Watch how KinetIQ runs both our wheeled and bipedal robots. Read more on our blog: thehumanoid.ai/introducing-ki…

Something exciting is just around the corner. Stay tuned for more.

We’re #HiringNow for 17 AI-focused roles in London, Boston, and Vancouver. As #AI moves from perception to real-world application, demand for experienced practitioners continues to grow. In a recent interview with Imaging and Machine Vision Europe, we discussed how AI, vision, and sensor integration are shaping industrial #robotics. Explore our open roles: thehumanoid.ai/careers/

This week, we proudly welcomed Science Minister Lord Vallance to our Humanoid HQ in London. As a robotics company headquartered in the UK, we are proud to help bring the country onto the global stage of innovation. Thank you @SciTechgovuk for the open dialogue and shared vision.

Humanoid and @Siemens successfully completed a POC testing humanoid robots in industrial logistics. HMND 01 robot autonomously performed a tote-to-conveyor destacking task during a two-week on-site deployment at the Siemens Electronics Factory in Erlangen. This is the first step in our broader partnership with Siemens as humanoid robots move closer to real-world deployment. Learn more here: thehumanoid.ai/humanoid-and-s…

Humanoid robots are already working 7-hour shifts. This time-lapse shows HMND 01 completing hours of uninterrupted bin picking of metallic bearing rings, compressed into just a few minutes. And if you’re in the mood for a calming background video, the full version is available here: youtube.com/watch?v=JEUwst….

Humanoid and @SchaefflerGroup announce strategic technology partnership. Over the next 5 years, hundreds of Humanoid’s robots will be deployed across Schaeffler’s production facilities, starting with beta-stage robots in 2026-2027. The partnership also includes next-gen actuator development, data collection and skill development, laying the foundation for scalable industrial humanoids.

Humanoid accelerates humanoid robot development by integrating @NVIDIARobotics technologies, including Jetson Thor, Isaac Sim, and Isaac Lab. These tools power our HMND 01 Alpha robots, already tested in real-world environments. "We’re currently working closely with NVIDIA and other partners on a new robotics networking system built on Jetson Thor and the Holoscan Sensor Bridge," says @jaradcannon, our CTO.

Who knew humanoids could gift wrap? This Christmas, our HMND 01 robot gave it a try. Bows, tinsel, some unexpected tools and holiday chaos included. Robots don’t start with all the answers, and that’s what makes teaching them so much fun. Happy Holidays from Humanoid! 🤖 Watch the video here: youtube.com/watch?v=5GY18R…
