Humanoid released a new video featuring company’s first humanoid robot HMND 01
The video highlights the robot’s innovative mechanical design, advanced motion control, and cutting-edge 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.
London, February 11, 2025 — UK-based AI and robotics startup Humanoid unveiled a new product video, offering a first look at its general-purpose humanoid robot HMND 01 in action. The video highlights the robot's innovative mechanical design, advanced motion control, and cutting-edge AI integration, marking a major step towards efficient human-robot collaboration.
"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 favor 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 labor automation unit standing 175 cm (5'9") tall and weighing 70 kg (154 lbs). It can reach a walking speed of 1.5 m/s (5.4 km/h), with an average runtime of 4 hours and a payload capacity of 15 kg (33 lbs). 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 commercialization. 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 fulfillment centers, and warehouses.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
