UK-based robotics and AI company Humanoid has announced the launch of HMND 01 Alpha, the UK's first humanoid robot designed specifically for industrial use. The new robot, developed in just seven months, has achieved the fastest humanoid creation cycle to date and marks a pivotal moment for the British robotics sector. Within its inaugural year, Humanoid has already completed two commercial Proofs of Concept, positioning HMND 01 Alpha as the first industrial humanoid robot ready for commercial deployment within the next 12 months[1].
The launch comes at a critical juncture for British and global industries:
HMND 01 Alpha is targeted to help solve these challenges by automating repetitive and physically demanding tasks in warehouses, logistics hubs, and retail environments.
By integrating into environments built for humans, HMND 01 Alpha promises scalable productivity gains and a safer, more efficient workplace[1].
The UK government recently announced £40 million in funding to create robotics adoption hubs, seeing this as a crucial step in the nation's industrial strategy. Support is also coming from research institutions such as The National Robotarium—the UK's centre for robotics and AI—urging greater investment in domestic robot production to drive economic growth[2].
