HMND 01

Humanoid's HMND 01, developed in just seven months by a team including alumni from Apple, Tesla, Google, Boston Dynamics, Sanctuary AI, and NVIDIA, stands at 175 cm tall and weighs 70 kg, designed to integrate seamlessly into human-centric industrial spaces. Backed by $50 million in founder-led capital with approximately 200 employees, Humanoid has accumulated 20,500 pre-orders.

The HMND 01 features 41 degrees of freedom enabling precise manipulation and dexterous object handling. Walking speed reaches 1.5 m/s with a 15 kg carrying capacity and 4-hour runtime. Advanced sensors and AI-powered vision enable navigation through dynamic environments and safe interaction with humans and machinery.

Humanoid has since released Alpha variants: the HMND 01 Alpha Wheeled (220 cm × 60 cm × 50 cm, 300 kg, 2 m/s on omnidirectional base) and HMND 01 Alpha Bipedal (179 cm, 29 DOF excluding hands, 15 kg dual-handed payload, 3-hour runtime). Both variants run on NVIDIA Jetson Thor enabling advanced robotic AI models on-device.

The robots feature a proprietary operating system with ROS2 compatibility, AI-driven navigation through indoor SLAM, visual SLAM, and LiDAR mapping. The sensor array includes RGB and stereo cameras, LiDAR, ultrasonic sensors, IMU, gyroscope, and force sensors. Optional configurations include 12-DOF dexterous hands or simpler grippers. Highlighted at CES 2026 as demonstrating UK tech leadership, HMND 01 targets industrial automation where rapid development and AI integration provide competitive advantage.
