What the HMND 01 can do

evidence by capability dimension
Manipulation
Tier 3 · company data

HMND 01 Alpha has 29 active DoF excluding end-effectors and modular 12-DoF five-finger or 1-DoF gripper. Ford POC demonstrated dual-arm handling of large thin sheet-metal body parts and tote handling with 8 kg payload; at CES it picked unsorted metallic bearing rings from cluttered bins. Company reports 97% reliability in autonomous pick-and-place during Ford POC.

Autonomy
Tier 3 · company data

Ford POC reported fully autonomous pick-and-place with 97% reliability and 83 picks/hour vs 50 target, with only one hour of on-robot data collection. Schaeffler CES demo was described by Schaeffler as 'press one button, everything is automated' and 'entirely autonomous and completely trained.' A PR.ai directory entry describes a Siemens POC with autonomous tote-to-conveyor destacking.

Mobility
Tier 2 · demo

Wheeled omnidirectional base with max speed 2 m/s (7.2 km/h). Ford POC says the robot successfully navigated to a shelf, localized a part, lifted it and placed it on a kitting table.

Perception
Tier 2 · demo

Head has 360-degree RGB cameras and two depth sensors, plus wrist RGB cameras, 6D F/T sensors and haptic feedback. Used for bin picking unsorted metallic bearing rings and part localization in a Ford POC.

Human interaction
Tier 0

No evidence found of conversational, gesture, or direct human-robot interaction capabilities beyond starting an autonomous workflow with a button press.

Reliability
Tier 3 · company data

Product page lists average 4-hour runtime. Ford POC reported one hour uninterrupted operation (twice target) and 97% reliability in autonomous pick-and-place. PR.ai directory lists a 7-hour continuous bin picking time-lapse at Schaeffler and a third-party article about an eight-hour factory shift at Siemens Erlangen.

Human-environment fit
Tier 2 · demo

Tall 220 cm, 300 kg wheeled humanoid with interchangeable protective garments. Schaeffler executive says a wheel-based system is more stable and easier to integrate from a safety perspective for even factory floors.

What is proven

source-backed highlights
  • Ford POC company-reported results: 83 picks/hour, 97% reliability, 1 hour uninterrupted operation.
  • Schaeffler CES live bin picking with partner claim of full autonomy.
  • Bosch contract manufacturing partnership and $152M Series A funding.
  • Multiple early access industrial partners (Schaeffler, Siemens, Ford).

Caveats

read before you trust a demo
  • No public price, purchase path beyond contact sales, or general retail availability was found
  • No independent autonomy benchmark or intervention log.

About the HMND 01

summary from sourced evidence

HMND 01 Alpha Wheeled is Humanoid's tall 220 cm, 300 kg wheeled humanoid with 29 active DoF, 15 kg bimanual payload, 4 h average runtime and 2 m/s wheeled speed. It uses a 12-DoF hand or 1-DoF gripper and 360-degree RGB plus depth sensors. Evidence includes a Ford POC with company-reported 97% autonomous pick-and-place reliability and 83 picks/hour, a Schaeffler CES bin picking demo described as fully autonomous, and early access partnerships with Schaeffler, Siemens and SAP/Martur Fompak. Bosch is the contract manufacturing partner. No public price exists, and most deployments are POCs or early access rather than full commercial operations
