Humanoid

Humanoid (SKL Robotics), led by founder Artem Sokolov, develops general-purpose humanoids in London. Its HMND 01 platform pairs a dual-arm humanoid upper body with a wheeled base and the in-house KinetIQ AI stack; a bipedal version is in development. In July 2026 it became Europe's first pure-play humanoid unicorn with a $152M Series A at a $1.35B valuation, and it now employs more than 250 people across London, Boston, Vancouver, and San Diego. Bosch is its contract manufacturer and Schaeffler both an investor and anchor customer, and it reports more than 34,000 non-binding pre-orders.
