Humanoid puts the UK at the forefront of robotics innovation with NVIDIA-powered breakthroughs
Humanoid, a UK-based robotics and AI company, is leading the next wave of humanoid robotics development. As one of the leading companies in Europe to integrate NVIDIA Jetson Thor to the alpha prototype of its HMND 01 humanoid robot, and pioneering use of NVIDIA Isaac Sim and Cosmos simulation and synthetic data generation technologies, Humanoid is positioning the UK as the global leader of robotics innovation.
Humanoid is working with NVIDIA to push the boundaries of robotic capabilities, and is now expanding this collaboration by integrating the newly released NVIDIA Jetson Thor into its platforms. It equips the company’s HMND 01 robots with high-performance “robotic brain” allowing them to run multi-AI workflows and large-scale generative AI models. This enables robots to perform real-time, intelligent interactions with both people and their surroundings — a capability essential for industrial environments and, eventually, consumer applications.
NVIDIA Jetson Thor powers Humanoid’s alpha prototypes across two platforms: a wheeled system built for industrial settings such as logistics and retail, and a bipedal robot for future household applications.
With a focus on retail, logistics, and manufacturing, Humanoid is targeting industrial use cases as its first market. The company has already completed two Proofs of Concept (POCs) with commercial partners, marking its first steps into real-world deployment.
By attracting talent from across Europe and beyond, in just one year the company has built a team of over 170 world-class experts. Backed by the fastest-growing robotics teams in Europe, Humanoid is driving the UK’s leadership in global robotics development and laying the foundation for future commercial rollouts. “With one of the world’s strongest talent pools in AI, engineering, and advanced manufacturing, the UK offers a rare level of expertise needed to build world-class robotic systems. London and the broader UK ecosystem combine deep academic research, startup culture, and access to global capital — a unique combination that allows to lead the next wave of humanoid robotics,” noted Artem Sokolov, founder of Humanoid. “We’re proud to contribute to the growth and innovation of the region. Сollaborations with global leaders like NVIDIA position us to transform the potential of humanoid robotics into real-world impact.”
