A humanoid robot passed an eight-hour factory shift at Siemens’ Erlangen plant
Siemens, Nvidia, and UK robotics startup Humanoid successfully deployed an AI-powered humanoid robot in a live logistics operation at Siemens' electronics factory in Erlangen, Germany. The robot completed over eight hours of autonomous tote-handling with a pick-and-place success rate above 90%.
Siemens, Nvidia, and Humanoid have deployed an AI-powered humanoid robot at Siemens' electronics factory in Erlangen, Germany. The HMND 01 Alpha wheeled robot handled tote-destacking tasks for over eight hours, achieving 60 container moves per hour and a 90% success rate. The robot was integrated into Siemens' production systems using the Siemens Xcelerator platform. The trial was significant as it ran in a live production environment alongside human operators and other automated systems. Nvidia's technologies, including Jetson Thor and Isaac Sim, were used for edge compute and simulation. The deployment was announced at Hannover Messe 2026, following a two-week trial in January 2026.
