Last updated: 2026-04-26

Last updated: April 2026
Two variants: The HMND 01 Alpha ships in a Wheeled configuration (omnidirectional mobile manipulator) and a Bipedal configuration (full walking humanoid). Both share the same upper-body architecture and AI stack; the differences are in mobility and the resulting deployment use cases. Where figures vary by variant the specific configuration is noted in the tables below.
