UK-based Humanoid is partnering with SAP to integrate cognitive humanoid robots into industrial workflows. Their first pilot with Martur Fompak International uses the HMND 01 platform and SAP’s embodied AI to automate complex seat assembly, targeting a $15–20 billion market by 2030.

UK startup Humanoid and Germany’s Schaeffler have achieved a breakthrough in industrial automation, completing a proof of concept where a pre-alpha humanoid robot autonomously picked metal bearing rings in a near-production environment. Founder Artem Sokolov says the success proves humanoids can deliver real-world value even at early development stages.
