Humanoid

Humanoid and QSS AI & ROBOTICS launched MENA’s first humanoid robotics showroom. In the new Humanoid Lounge, we offer an immersive look into the future of automation — with live demos, workshops, and direct interaction with the latest humanoid robots. This launch is part of our strategic partnership focused on accelerating humanoid deployment in key sectors, from logistics and manufacturing to retail and hospitality. “Opening a showroom with QSS is just one step toward creating a gateway for businesses to experience robotics firsthand and scale automation with confidence,” said Artem Sokolov, Founder of Humanoid. A new chapter for robotics in MENA has begun.

Founder of Humanoid, Artem Sokolov, has been named Executive of the Year in Manufacturing at the BIG Awards for Business! This global program celebrates leaders, companies, and products transforming industries through innovation, purpose, and real-world impact. Artem’s leadership is what drives Humanoid forward. We’re inspired by his vision of a future where humanoid robots handle repetitive tasks giving people more time to be creative, human, and free. Humanoid is on a mission to bring this future to life. Today, our team counts 180+ world-class professionals united around that mission. If you want to join us, we’re hiring. Thank you to the Business Intelligence Group for this recognition!

Autonomous robots are rapidly becoming an essential part of modern life. They navigate complex environments, collaborate with humans, and operate independently in dynamic environments. Our Chief Growth & Revenue Officer Jochen Rudat was invited to World Summit AI in Amsterdam for a strategic panel “Autonomous robots: The rise of self-directed systems.” He joined Jennifer Ding, ML Solutions Engineer at Encord and Limor Schweitzer, Founder of MOV.AI to discuss the breakthroughs and challenges shaping the next generation of autonomous systems. A session not to be missed! Thank you World Summit AI for the invitation and opportunity to join the discussion.

Our founder, Artem Sokolov, took the stage today at A Transforming World Conference 2025 by Bank of America Business in London. He shared our vision for the humanoid robotics revolution — a future where robots safely coexist with humans, taking on hard, repetitive, and dangerous tasks at work and at home. With AI advancing fast and unprecedented investment flowing into the space, humanoid robotics is becoming reality, especially in industrial applications. Today, our tote handling demo showed HMND 01 robots in action, a glimpse into how humanoids are already transforming real-world tasks. It drew incredible attention and energy! At Humanoid, we’re proud to make that future closer, every day.

Exciting news! After being named one of the Top UK Startups, we’re now also on the LinkedIn Top Startups list in London, coming in at # 9. London is one of the world’s most vibrant startup hubs, home to incredible innovation and talent. We’re honored to be part of the companies making waves in the city right now. Thanks to the LinkedIn News UK team and Edson Caldas for putting this list together. #LinkedInTopStartups

Humanoid teamed up with SAP and MARTUR FOMPAK International to explore how humanoid robots can transform field operations workflows. The POC focuses on intelligent kitting — selecting diverse seat components from organized bins and placing them into containers bound for the production line, alongside tote handling. The system integrates directly with SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM). It enables real-time inventory visibility and order management. This is the first in a series of our joint POCs with SAP. We’re developing real-world robotics solutions by integrating our HMND 01 robot with SAP’s enterprise software. "Together with SAP, we’re exploring how cognitive robots can extend automation beyond the factory floor, into every environment where people work," says Artem Sokolov, founder of Humanoid.

We have successfully completed a POC with Schaeffler for bin picking with our pre-alpha robot. HMND 01 pre-alpha robot performed bin picking of metallic bearing rings in clutter in a near-production setting. The test took place at Schaeffler’s site in Erlangen, Germany. The POC results fully met the established expectations. Our team developed new skills rapidly, fine-tuned performance on-site, and transferred policies from lab to real-world facilities with minimal adjustments. It’s a key step toward humanoid deployment in real manufacturing environments. Now, we are moving into the second phase of the POC — this time, with the alpha robot.

What does a typical day look like for a Head of Design at a humanoid robotics company? In this episode of TECHNE , Jason Kline shares insights on building robots people can truly work and coexist with. How do you balance aesthetics, safety, and human trust? Listen to find out!

Last week, our team was invited to 10 Downing Street to discuss the development of AI and robotics industry in the UK. Humanoid Chief Strategy Officer Alina Kolpakova and Chief Growth & Revenue Officer Jochen Rudat talked about what it takes to attract world-class talent and strengthen local deeptech ecosystem. They also discussed evolving regulation for humanoid robotics and investment and grant opportunities. The UK has what it takes to lead the global robotics race. What’s needed now is collaboration between industry, government, and research. We’re ready to help shape the next chapter of robotics revolution.
