Humanoid
Humanoid is a Humanoid company founded in 2024 and based in London, United Kingdom. It has raised $270M in total funding, most recently a Series A in 2026 at a $1.4B valuation.
Artem Sokolov founded Humanoid in London in 2024 as SKL Robotics, which remains its legal name. The company builds HMND 01, a humanoid offered in wheeled and bipedal versions, and KinetIQ, its in-house AI framework for controlling individual robots and orchestrating fleets of them. Bosch, through Robert Bosch Robotics GmbH, is its contract manufacturer. Its deployment deal with Schaeffler runs as robot-as-a-service: Humanoid supplies the robots along with fleet management, maintenance, round-the-clock technical support and software updates. In July 2026 Humanoid raised a $152 million Series A at a $1.35 billion post-money valuation, led by Prime Movers Lab with Schaeffler, Bosch, Fubon Financial Holding Venture Capital and Aglaé Ventures, which brought its total funding to about $270 million. It has offices in London, Boston, Vancouver and San Diego and more than 300 staff.
Two of Humanoid's investors, Schaeffler and Bosch, are also its industrial partners. In May 2026 Schaeffler signed a binding deal to deploy a four-digit number of wheeled HMND 01 robots across its plants by 2032, starting at two German sites in December 2026, and to supply more than half of Humanoid's joint actuators through 2031. Bosch builds the robots under contract. At Siemens' Erlangen electronics factory in April 2026, an HMND 01 moved 60 totes an hour with a pick-and-place success rate above 90%.
