Humanoid says its first bipedal robot can start walking just 48 hours after assembly

Earlier this year, Humanoid partnered with QSS AI & Robotics to accelerate the development, manufacturing, and deployment of humanoid robots across Saudi Arabia. The company has a number of other exciting developments in the pipeline, said Sokolov. In September, Humanoid unveiled its first robot, the HMND 01 Alpha. Sokolov said the company started with a wheeled robot to get a system to market quickly. It also enabled the company to solve mobile manipulation challenges separately from balance challenges. “We have 19,500 pre-orders, four POCs proofs of concept[ completed, and three ongoing already, the market’s largest number, more than anyone did at our stage,” he said. “Humanoid is already fully booked for 2026 early-year POCs and focused on securing long-term partnerships and more pre-orders.”

“On the product side, our goal is to advance both the wheeled and bipedal platforms to their beta stages and prepare them for wider deployment,” he said.
