## Summary

UK robotics company Humanoid announced a partnership with Bosch, under which Bosch will serve as contract manufacturing partner for the HMND 01 humanoid robot, supporting production for the European market. The agreement builds on a POC completed in March 2026 at a logistics site in Bühl, Germany: in Bosch's dynamic logistics environment, the HMND 01 autonomously moved boxes from a conveyor to a cart, covering 5 different box types with varying footprints, heights, and weights, orchestrated by Humanoid's in-house KinetIQ framework.
