TechFlow reports, July 21, according to Forbes, London-based startup Humanoid announced the completion of a $152 million Series A financing round, with a post-money valuation of $1.35 billion, becoming Europe's first pure humanoid robot unicorn company. This round was led by Prime Movers Lab, with participation from German industrial giants Schaeffler, Bosch, Taiwan's Fubon Venture Capital, and Aglaé Ventures under the LVMH Arnault family, bringing total cumulative financing to $270 million.
Founded just two years ago, Humanoid's wheeled robot HMND 01 has completed nine proof-of-concept projects and signed an order for 1,000 robots with Schaeffler, while Bosch provides production capacity support for 100,000 units over the next five years. The company's AI platform KinetIQ employs a four-layer architecture, enabling collaborative operations among robot clusters, with a target of achieving over 80% of human operation speed. The company has also partnered with SAP, NVIDIA, Siemens, and others, planning to launch commercial pilots in Q4 of this year.
