Humanoid
HMND 01 Alpha
A 220 cm wheeled manipulator purpose-built for warehouse logistics, not a general-purpose household robot. The Siemens trial establishes real task performance in an active factory. The path to broad industrial deployment depends on the Beta launch and RaaS scaling, not consumer availability.

Common questions
What people actually ask.
OperationWhat tasks did the HMND 01 Alpha complete autonomously at Siemens?
At Siemens’ Erlangen Electronics Factory, in a proof of concept announced in January 2026 and reported complete in April 2026, the Alpha operated autonomously for 30+ consecutive minutes, destacking totes from storage and transporting them to a conveyor. Throughput reached 60 tote moves per hour at over 90% pick-and-place accuracy, per Interesting Engineering’s trial coverage.
OperationIs the HMND 01 Alpha the same robot as the HMND 01 Alpha Bipedal?
No. The wheeled variant stands 220 cm and weighs 300 kg with an omnidirectional base, and Humanoid publishes a 2 m/s maximum speed and an average 4 hour run time for it. The bipedal variant stands 179 cm and weighs 90 kg with a walking speed of 5.4 km/h. They share the Humanoid HMND 01 Alpha designation but are distinct platforms with separate specs. This record covers the wheeled variant.
OperationWhen can industrial operators access the HMND 01 Alpha?
The Alpha is in an early-access trial phase accepting applications as of early 2026. The Beta model is scheduled for Q3 2026. No confirmed general-availability date or pricing has been disclosed; contact with the manufacturer is required.
OperationDoes the HMND 01 Alpha require continuous teleoperation to function?
The Siemens trial documented fully autonomous tote-handling operations within a structured production environment. Teleoperation is listed as a supported mode for tasks outside the robot’s autonomous operating domain, but the primary demo evidence is autonomous task completion.
ComparisonWhat end-effector should be specified for bin picking versus heavy tote handling on the HMND 01 Alpha?
Humanoid offers two modular options: the 12-DOF five-fingered dexterous hand for precision picking and assembly tasks, and the 1-DOF parallel gripper for repetitive heavy-load handling. The manufacturer specifies both as interchangeable on the same platform.
OwnershipWhat is Humanoid's RaaS model and does it affect total cost of ownership?
Humanoid deploys the HMND 01 Alpha as Robotics-as-a-Service rather than outright capital sale. No pricing has been disclosed. This model typically converts capital expenditure to operational expenditure; the subscription terms, support obligations, and data-sharing arrangements for Alpha-phase deployments have not been published.

Embed the Autonomy Ladder™ mark or copy the citation. The mark is served from this record rather than saved as a file, so it always shows the level we currently hold. If we reassess, it updates on your page by itself.
- The mark must link to this record. An unlinked mark is not authorised.
- No recolouring, cropping, rotating, restyling, or re-typesetting. Scale proportionally only, up to 2×: the seal to 536px wide, the standard to 224px.
- Leave clear space equal to half the numeral tile on all sides: 32px on the seal, 22px on the standard.
- The mark states a classification, not an endorsement. It may not appear beside language implying Robovations recommends, rates, or approves the product.
- Hot-link the image from robovations.com. Do not download, self-host, proxy or re-upload it: a saved copy stops updating, and a mark that has stopped updating is a claim we no longer stand behind.
- The mark is live. It reflects the classification on this record as it stands. If we reassess, it changes on your page automatically. If we withdraw the classification, it stops rendering. Nothing is required from you either way.
