IDHumanoid, a UK-based AI and robotics company specializing in industrial humanoid robots, has completed a $152 million Series A funding round, achieving a $1.35 billion post-money valuation. This makes Humanoid Europe's first 'pure-play' humanoid robotics unicorn. The funding will support the development of next-generation humanoid robots, commercial deployments with major industrial partners like Schaeffler, Bosch, and SAP, and the advancement of its proprietary AI platform called KinetIQ. The company aims to begin deploying beta versions of its robots in logistics, manufacturing, and retail by late 2026 and start mass production of wheel-based humanoid robots. This milestone highlights Europe's growing role in the global Physical AI sector, traditionally dominated by the U.S. and China.
