Humanoid, an AI and robotics company building industrial humanoids, today announced a $152 million Series A financing at a $1.35 billion post-money valuation. This funding brings the total amount raised to date to $270 million.

London-based Humanoid is offering early access to the HMND 01 Alpha Wheeled version, a bimanual mobile manipulator. The robot runs on KinetIQ, an AI framework for end-to-end orchestration of humanoid robot fleets. KinetIQ Ascend extends KinetIQ with the ability to learn from trial and error.

The company, which was founded as SKL Robotics Ltd. in 2024, is also developing a bipedal version of the robot.
