HMND 01 Industrial Humanoid (Alpha Wheeled)

Humanoid, operating under the legal entity SKL Robotics LTD, develops general-purpose humanoid robots for industrial work. The company's website lists partners such as NVIDIA, AWS, SAP, Schaeffler, Siemens and Bosch, and the founding year is not stated on the site.

HMND 01 comes in an Alpha Wheeled and an Alpha Bipedal variant. The wheeled version offers a 15 kg payload, about 4 hours of average runtime and 29 degrees of freedom. It runs KinetIQ, a four-layer AI stack on NVIDIA compute, with a fleet orchestration framework for managing several robots.

• Alpha Wheeled: wheeled humanoid with 15 kg payload and about 4 hours of average runtime.
• Alpha Bipedal: bipedal variant of HMND 01 for different working environments.
• KinetIQ AI stack: four-layer AI architecture running on NVIDIA compute.
• KinetIQ Ascend: reinforcement learning from trial and error on industrial tasks.
• Fleet orchestration: framework for managing multiple robots in one site.

Tote and parts movement in automotive component plants. Material handling between warehouse and production lines in electronics factories. Proof-of-concept logistics tasks in contract manufacturing.

Wheeled form factor aimed at logistics and factory tasks with a 15 kg payload. Fleet orchestration supports managing multiple robots together. Reinforcement-learning stack (KinetIQ Ascend) lets robots improve on industrial tasks. Pilots with large industrial names reduce adoption risk for buyers.

Manufacturers worldwide are testing humanoid robots for logistics and assembly support to address labour shortages. Vietnamese and ASEAN factories in automotive and electronics supply chains may see similar demand as global customers pilot the technology.
