The video highlights the robot’s innovative mechanical design, advanced motion control, and AI integration, marking a major step towards efficient human-robot collaboration.

Founded in 2024 by serial entrepreneur Artem Sokolov, Humanoid is on a mission to develop the world’s leading, commercially scalable, and safe humanoid robots.

“At Humanoid, our team believes in a future where humans and machines work side by side, not in competition, but in harmony. This societal shift will address social issues such as workforce shortages and aging population while giving people more freedom to focus on more creative and meaningful work. The strongest argument in favour of humanoids is that the world is already designed for humans, so they can seamlessly integrate and quickly adapt to existing environments. With a world-class team, Humanoid has ambitious plans for the year ahead. In 2025, we plan to develop and test our alpha prototype for two platforms – wheeled and bipedal. We're also in ongoing discussions with leading retail companies for potential pilot projects,” says Artem Sokolov, Humanoid’s Founder.

The company’s latest development, HMND 01, is a next-generation labour automation unit standing 175cm (5’9”) tall and weighing 70kg (154lbs). It can reach a walking speed of 1.5m/s (5.4km/h), with an average runtime of four hours and a payload capacity of 15kg (33lbs). HMND 01 achieves human-level or higher manipulation speeds for complex tasks and can navigate confined spaces with exceptional accuracy.

The robot’s hardware and software are designed with a modular concept. Customers could incorporate different upper-body, lower-body, and end-effector configurations to ensure adaptability, better meet their requirements, and reduce costs. Moreover, HMND 01 features a wide range of interchangeable garments that protect both its systems and the surrounding environment.

With hardware and software stability as core design principles, Humanoid’s general-purpose robots offer a low total cost of ownership (TCO) suitable for mass commercialisation. They will provide highly efficient services across various use cases and industries, starting with industrial applications such as goods handling, picking and packing, kitting and part handling. HMND 01 could enhance automation levels in retail and manufacturing facilities, logistics and fulfilment centres, and warehouses.
