Humanoid, a UK based robotics company, announced a 152 million dollar Series A round on July 21, 2026 in London. The financing puts the company at a 1.35 billion dollar post money valuation, just two years after it was founded. The round takes Humanoid’s total funding to 270 million dollars and makes it Europe’s first pure play humanoid robotics unicorn.

Prime Movers Lab led the round, with Schaeffler, Bosch, Fubon Financial Holding Venture Capital, and Aglaé Ventures also taking part. The company said this is the largest Series A ever raised by a humanoid first robotics company in Europe. Founder and CEO Artem Sokolov said the funding gives the company resources to move faster and turn humanoid robots into everyday industrial tools.

The new money will go toward Humanoid’s next generation robotics platform and its AI system, KinetIQ, which the company describes as a four layer framework built for real world deployment. Humanoid plans to begin rolling out Beta version robots to customers in logistics, manufacturing, and retail starting in the fourth quarter of 2026. The company also plans to start mass manufacturing of wheel based humanoid robots.

Humanoid has already built partnerships with SAP, NVIDIA, Bosch, and Siemens. Its largest publicly announced deal is with Schaeffler, covering large scale deployment of thousands of humanoid robots across manufacturing sites. Schaeffler CEO Klaus Rosenfeld said the partnership combines the company’s industrial and manufacturing background with Humanoid’s physical AI platform.

Bosch will serve as Humanoid’s contract manufacturing partner through its subsidiary Robert Bosch Robotics GmbH, and will also give input on hardware design and supply chain, according to Bosch CTO Mathias Pillin. Zia Huque of Prime Movers Lab said the humanoid robotics field is expected to consolidate around a small number of leading companies across the US, Europe, and China.

Humanoid was founded by Artem Sokolov in 2024 and now employs more than 250 engineers and researchers. The company has offices in London, Boston, Vancouver, and San Diego. As of this announcement, Humanoid is preparing for its Beta robot rollout later this year while continuing development of its KinetIQ AI platform.
