Humanoid raises $152M at $1.35B valuation to bring human-like robots into factories
London-based artificial intelligence and robotics firm SKL Robotics Ltd., doing business as Humanoid, today announced it raised $152 million in funding, bringing the company’s post-money valuation to $1.35 billion.
The round was led by Prime Movers Lab, a venture capital firm focused on scientific and bleeding-edge technology startups. Investors also participating in the funding included Schaeffler, Bosch, Fubon Financial Holding Venture Capital and Aglaé Ventures.
“In just two years, we’ve gone from an idea to becoming Europe’s first pure-play humanoid robotics unicorn, partnered with some of the world’s leading industrial companies and built one of the strongest pipelines in the industry,” said founder and Chief Executive Artem Sokolov. “What we’ve accomplished in such a short time would typically take a decade.”
Humanoid is best known for building industrial-grade humanoid robotics platforms, including wheeled and bipedal models, both part of the HMND-01 Alpha family.
