Walker S2
UBTech's all-new full-size industrial humanoid, launched on July 23, 2025, standing 176 cm and weighing 70 kg…

A British general-purpose humanoid built for industrial labour, scaling from a wheeled platform to a bipedal body.
HMND 01 is the first humanoid from London-based Humanoid, unveiled on 11 February 2025 at 175 cm, 70 kg and 41 degrees of freedom. The modular design pairs a 15 kg payload and four-hour runtime with interchangeable upper bodies, lower bodies and end effectors. Humanoid has since added the 220 cm, 300 kg HMND 01 Alpha Wheeled and the 179 cm, 90 kg Alpha Bipedal, both rated at 29 DOF excluding end effectors, and has run industrial proofs of concept with Schaeffler, Siemens, SAP and Martur Fompak.
