Oversonic Robotics is ahead on technology, positioning and leverage. Level on production, progress and firepower. Humanoid is based in London, United Kingdom, Oversonic Robotics in Carate Brianza, Italy. Humanoid is named in 184 signals and Oversonic Robotics in 2.
Humanoid develops and sells the HMND 01 family of wheeled and bipedal humanoid robots for industrial, logistics, and manufacturing deployments.
Darker bar: ahead of the other company on that measure.
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.

Oversonic builds and sells RoBee humanoid robots for industrial production and logistics, deployed at an STMicroelectronics fab.
Darker bar: ahead of the other company on that measure.
Oversonic has the single most consequential humanoid deployment in this registry European coverage because of who the customer is. In December 2025 it signed an agreement with STMicroelectronics to introduce custom RoBee cognitive humanoids into production and logistics at several ST plants globally, the first time a semiconductor company will operationally integrate cognitive humanoids into its factories; the first unit went live at the ST advanced packaging and test fab in Malta. Six months later, on 2026-06-23, ST took an equity stake alongside Fondazione ENEA Tech Biomedical and SpotInvest, described as ST first direct investment in a humanoid robotics platform developer. ST produces the motor control chips, IMUs and time-of-flight sensors the humanoid industry is short of, and is now supplier, customer and shareholder to the same company. RoBee is described as the first cognitive humanoid certified to operate in factories, up to two metres tall, roughly 120 kg, with 39 degrees of freedom, and at CES 2026 was shown running on Intel Core Ultra Series 3 edge processors with speech, reasoning and vision executed locally. Deployment scores 3 and production 2 because coverage describes limited manufacturing pilots with the new capital funding the transition to volume.
