### What changes On 18 September 2025, Humanoid, a London start-up founded in 2024 by entrepreneur Artem Sokolov, unveiled HMND 01 Alpha. It is a humanoid-looking mobile manipulator on a wheeled base with two arms. The company says it developed it in seven months. The robot targets warehouses, logistics hubs and retail, for picking, sorting, machine feeding and kitting tasks. ### Specifications | Item | Detail | |---|---| | Height | 220 cm | | Weight | 300 kg (official spec sheet) | | Top speed | 7.2 km/h | | Payload | Up to 15 kg with both arms | | Degrees of freedom | 29 active (excluding end effectors) | | Reach | Floor to 2 m high | | Runtime | About 4 hours (official spec sheet) | | End effectors | 5-fingered hand (12 DoF) or parallel gripper (1 DoF) | ### Why it matters Humanoid becomes one of the first UK makers of industrial humanoids.
