Robotics Startup Humanoid Raises $152 Million Series A Round at $1.35 Billion Valuation

The round brings total funding to $270 million and adds backing from Schaeffler, Bosch and Fubon Financial Holding Venture Capital.

  • On Tuesday, London-based robotics startup Humanoid raised $152 million in a Series A funding round led by Prime Movers Lab, reaching a post-money valuation of $1.35 billion.
  • Bosch will act as Humanoid's contract manufacturing partner, providing strategic consulting and technical expertise in hardware design, production and supply chain operations for the wheeled HMND 01 platform.
  • Chief product officer Sotirios Stasinopoulos said the company uses a proprietary four-layer AI platform called KinetIQ, which offers greater energy efficiency than bipedal robot alternatives.
  • Humanoid plans to deploy 'Beta' robots at customer sites in the fourth quarter of 2026, while claiming 34,000 pre-orders worth nearly two and a half billion dollars, unverified.
  • Amid a $56 billion global investment surge in 2026, this funding positions Humanoid as a significant European competitor to Figure AI and Chinese robotics firms dominating the sector.
