HMND 01: UK Humanoid robot shows logistics readiness at Siemens plant

Humanoid, an AI and robotics firm, in partnership with Siemens, successfully completed a proof-of-concept trial deploying Humanoid’s HMND 01 wheeled Alpha robot in live industrial logistics operations at a Siemens facility. The robot autonomously performed a tote-to-conveyor destacking task, moving 60 totes per hour, handling two tote sizes, and operating continuously for over 30 minutes with an uptime exceeding 8 hours. It achieved over 90 percent success in pick-and-place tasks, demonstrating its ability to handle repetitive industrial workflows reliably in a real production environment. The HMND 01 Alpha is a 220 cm tall humanoid robot on a wheeled base, capable of speeds up to 4.47 mph and designed for industrial handling with a bimanual payload capacity of up to 33 pounds. Equipped with advanced AI-driven motion and task execution, a sensor-rich head with 360-degree cameras, and interchangeable end-effectors, the robot can access items from floor level to two
