Robotics London's Humanoid raised a $152M Series A at $1.35B on Tuesday, making it Europe's first pure-play humanoid unicorn — two years after being founded.
Robotics British startup Humanoid (founded 2024) and German motion-tech giant Schaeffler signed a binding rollout deal on May 13: 1,000–2,000 wheeled humanoid units across Schaeffler's global plants by 2032, first phase Dec 2026–Jun 2027 in Herzogenaurach and Schweinfurt. Bundled with a five-year actuator supply pact that makes Schaeffler the preferred supplier for >50% of Humanoid's joint actuators through 2031 — a seven-digit (1M+) unit commitment. The customer is also the supplier. The bet is wheeled, not bipedal.
