Bosch has confirmed August 2027 as the start date for Europe's first humanoid robot production line at its Bühl, Germany plant, where it will manufacture HMND Gamma robots under contract for London-based startup Humanoid. The wheeled design of Humanoid's HMND 01 platform enabled faster EU safety certification compared to bipedal competitors, while the company secured a major anchor customer in Schaeffler and achieved unicorn status with a $152M Series A at $1.35B valuation in July 2026.
The article recaps the top 10 most popular robotics stories from May 2026, with the Robotics Summit & Expo in Boston serving as a major event bringing together thousands of robotics experts. The first highlighted story covers the Humanoid and Bosch collaboration for production and distribution of the HMND robot in Europe starting in May 2026.
London-based Humanoid has announced a partnership with Robert Bosch GmbH to scale production of its humanoid robots following a successful joint proof of concept completed in March 2026. The company, led by founder and CEO Artem Sokolov, views this agreement as a critical step toward bridging the gap between POC validation and large-scale deployment.
