Empowering humanity by building the most reliable, safe, and helpful humanoid robots
We are developing a general-purpose humanoid robot to automate labor-intensive operations that cannot be effectively addressed by existing automation technologies.
The scale of opportunity is significant: only 20% of material moving operations are currently automated within the $90 trillion global industry. Our initial focus sectors — retail, e-commerce, third-party logistics (3PL), manufacturing, and automotive — represent a massive workforce of 250 million workers and $12 trillion in annual payroll. By introducing humanoid robots capable of seamlessly performing these critical tasks, we aim to revolutionize industrial productivity and efficiency.
What inspired Humanoid Founder Artem Sokolov to build a different kind of robotics company?
From a young age, Humanoid founder Artem Sokolov observed the repetitive and monotonous work of his grandparents, who worked their entire lives in jewellery production. Even as a child, he found these working conditions unfair. Years later, millions of similar jobs still exist.
Artem believes that robots can free people from routine and repetitive tasks, allowing them to engage in more creative and meaningful work.
These beliefs inspired him to focus on developing humanoid robots to improve working conditions, transform economies, and empower individuals.
Advancing robotics to unlock
new
possibilities for humanity
The global workforce is decreasing, ageing and moving away from undesirable, unsafe, and repetitive tasks.
The global workforce is facing an unprecedented crisis: across developed nations, millions of essential jobs remain unfilled, with the U.S. alone experiencing a gap of two million workers and Europe facing a similar shortfall. This shortage particularly impacts critical sectors such as warehousing, manufacturing, retail, and transportation, where roles demand physical mobility and dexterity that exceed the capabilities of current automation technologies.
According to Goldman Sachs, the total addressable market for humanoid robots is projected to reach $38 billion globally by 2035 and $1T by 2050, driven by acute labor shortages and demographic pressures across developed economies. We identify three significant business opportunities for the long run.
2027 - Physical Work: Transforming manufacturing, warehousing, logistics, and retail.
2029 - Services: Becoming a core part of the service workforce.
2031 - Households: Supporting 3.5 billion households with chores and home care.
Rapidly improving hardware and AI capabilities are enabling the development of machines that can think, move, and interact with unprecedented human-like precision.
Robotics’ ChatGPT Moment: Generative AI and LLMs are accelerating how robots acquire knowledge and skills.
Learning by Watching and Doing: Robots learn through observation, imitation, simulation, and real-world reinforcement learning, improving through trial and error.
Collective Intelligence: Connected robot fleets share data and learned skills, accelerating improvement across the entire network.
We proudly bear the name Humanoid, reflecting our belief that general-purpose humanoid robots are the optimal path forward. This conviction stems from a fundamental insight: the world is already designed for humans, making it naturally suited for humanoids.
Key Advantages of Humanoid Robots:
Seamless fit in human environments.
Modular design for multiple tasks.
Compatible with existing tools and automation.
Capable of medium- to high-precision work.
Easily adaptable and repurposed.
