Humanoid and Siemens proof of concept shows the way to industrial deployments

Humanoid and Siemens AG yesterday said that they have completed a proof of concept, or POC, demonstrating the use of a mobile manipulator in industrial logistics. The POC involved Humanoid’s HMND 01 wheeled Alpha robot. The company deployed the robot in actual operations at a Siemens facility.

Humanoid, which is formally known as SKL Robotics Ltd., structured the POC in two phases. The first phase focused on in-house development and demonstration. The company said its team built a “physical twin” to support testing, optimization, and rapid iteration. Humanoid and Siemens said this POC is a first step toward a long-term strategic collaboration. The companies added that they are open to expanding the scope and adding use cases. The partners also may progress toward a broader rollout, deploying a greater number of robots across Siemens’ facilities, based on the robot’s specific skill set.

“As Siemens’ ‘Customer 0,’ the Electronics Factory Erlangen is excited to partner with the Humanoid team,” said Stephan Schlauss, global head of manufacturing motion control at Siemens. “We’re tackling production automation, discovering new opportunities for Siemens, and are eager to advance this promising technology across our factory network to deliver customer value.”
