Positioning

Humanoid (legal entity SKL Robotics Ltd.), founded 2024 in London by serial entrepreneur Artem Sokolov, builds industrial humanoid robots — its flagship HMND 01, a dual-armed wheeled mobile manipulator running its proprietary KinetIQ AI platform. It unveiled the HMND 01 Alpha prototype on Sep-18-25 (developed in ~7 months) and raised a $152M Series A on Jul-21-26 at a $1.35B post-money valuation, becoming Europe's first pure-play humanoid unicorn. Key open question: it has strong pre-orders and OEM partners (Bosch, Schaeffler) but had not yet shipped commercial units as of mid-2026, with Beta rollout targeted for Q4 2026.
