In Britain they tested a robot that lifts up to 8 kg in a warehouse

The British company Humanoid tested its humanoid robot HMND 01 Alpha Wheeled in real production conditions.

The tests took place at the plant of the automotive supplier Martur Fompak. It is important that the robot worked in a normal production environment without any specially prepared conditions. During testing, HMND 01 received tasks directly from the enterprise’s internal system and performed them autonomously. Thanks to the Joule platform, he was integrated into the company’s IT infrastructure and actually performed the functions of a warehouse employee.

The test scenario covered the full cycle of order processing in real time. The robot independently found pallets, lifted loads and moved them to carts. Its work is based on the KinetIQ AI platform, which ensures adaptation to changes in production processes.

The pilot project lasted from January to February 2026. During this time, the robot functioned stably in real conditions and coped with moving loads weighing up to 8 kilograms.

Let us remind you that scientists have developed a power suit that turns a person into a centaur.
