What this means
The short version, without reliability jargon
The sources do not define the reported eight-plus uptime hours or disclose planned work time, downtime, failures or human interventions.
The results show that the robot could perform the task in a bounded test, but they do not tell us what percentage of the scheduled time it remained available.

What the evidence says
The public record establishes a real factory test, 60 tote moves per hour and autonomous pick-and-place success above 90%. The reported ‘uptime exceeding 8 hours’ lacks scheduled time, downtime and event definitions, so it cannot be interpreted as an availability percentage or MTBF result.

01 / Reliability fields
What is known—and missing
Runtime / operating hoursTime accumulated while a robot is operating under the source's stated rules. It may be summed across several robots and does not necessarily include pauses or downtime.Learn more →
Operator corroborated: >8 h reported; scope unclear
Availability / uptimeThe share of a defined scheduled period in which a system was able to perform the required function. The time boundary, required function and rules for counting downtime must be stated.Learn more →
Not disclosed: No scheduled-time denominator
Human interventionA human action needed to keep, restore or redirect the robot's work, such as a reset, remote correction or physical assistance.Learn more →
Not disclosed: Not disclosed
MTBFMean time between failures: the average operating time between one defined failure and the next in a repairable system.Learn more →
Not disclosed: Not disclosed
MTTRAn average time associated with restoring operation after a failure. The acronym is used for repair, restoration or recovery in different contexts, so the included steps must be defined.Learn more →

What each source supports
Deployment scope
Manufacturer reported
Two-week on-site proof of concept at Siemens' electronics factory in Erlangen
Humanoid specifies the two-phase program and two-week factory period. Siemens independently confirms the factory and operational test, but its later release does not restate the two-week duration.
Sources: [1] [2]
Task
Operator corroborated
Pick totes from a stack, transport them to a conveyor and place them for human operators
Both parties describe an autonomous tote-handling workflow. Humanoid adds that the sequence repeated until the stack was empty and used two tote sizes.
Sources: [1] [2]
Throughput
Operator corroborated
60 tote moves per hour
Siemens and Humanoid report that the target was met. Neither publishes the observation count, distribution, pauses or throughput variability.
Sources: [1] [2] [3]
Reported uptime
Operator corroborated
Uptime exceeding 8 hours
The sources do not define scheduled time, downtime, exclusions or whether the eight hours were cumulative. Humanoid separately reports more than 30 minutes of continuous autonomous task execution, so HumanoidUptime does not convert this figure into availability.
Metric interpretationIncomplete for availability
- Source wording
- uptime · exceeding 8 hours
- Tested against
- Technical availability
- Normalized result
- Not calculated
The source uses the word “uptime”, but the published inputs do not support a technical-availability percentage.
- Observation windowThe two-week POC is known, but the period represented by the eight-plus hours is not
- Scheduled operating timeNot disclosed
- Technical downtimeNot disclosed
- Exclusion rulesCharging, maintenance, external waits and other exclusions are not defined
Continuous autonomous run
Manufacturer reported
More than 30 minutes
This is the only explicitly bounded continuous autonomous interval in the detailed POC account. The source provides no intervention or stop-event log for the interval.
Sources: [1]
Pick-and-place success
Operator corroborated
Above 90% autonomous pick-and-place success
Siemens corroborates the autonomous rate. Humanoid additionally says both overall and autonomous rates exceeded 90%, but neither source defines attempts, retries, failures or human-assisted completions.
Sources: [1] [2] [3]
Autonomy and integration
Operator corroborated
Autonomous execution integrated with the Siemens factory environment
The task is described as autonomous and Siemens identifies its industrial integration layer. No breakdown of supervised, teleoperated, recovery or autonomous time is published.

How the public record changed
This is a history of public knowledge, not proof that robot performance changed on these dates. Earlier states were reconstructed later from dated sources; the reconstruction date remains visible.
Humanoid publishes quantified POC results
Humanoid reported a two-week Siemens factory POC, 60 tote moves per hour, above-90% autonomous pick-and-place success, more than 30 minutes of continuous autonomous execution and uptime exceeding eight hours. At this stage, the quantified results were manufacturer-reported.
4/9 applicable fields disclosedCoverage at this knowledge date—not performance.
- Runtime hours>8 h reported; scope unclear
- Task output60 moves/h; >90% autonomous
- Autonomy modeAutonomous task execution
- Fleet size1 robot described
Reconstruction basis and limits
Reconstructed solely from Humanoid's dated 15 January 2026 account; Siemens had not yet published its own results statement.
- Humanoid described a two-week on-site POC at Siemens' Erlangen electronics factory.
- The manufacturer reported 60 tote moves per hour and above-90% autonomous pick-and-place success.
- The manufacturer separately reported more than 30 minutes of continuous autonomous execution and uptime exceeding eight hours.
- The source did not define the uptime denominator or observation continuity.
- Attempts, intervention frequency, downtime, MTBF and MTTR were not published.
Siemens corroborates the factory results
Siemens confirmed the autonomous tote workflow, 60 moves per hour, uptime exceeding eight hours and above-90% autonomous pick-and-place success. Four tracked fields moved from manufacturer-only reporting to operator corroboration; the missing reliability denominators did not change.

Reconstruction basis and limits
Reconstructed cumulatively from Humanoid's January report and Siemens' dated 16 April 2026 press release.
- Siemens confirmed the robot and autonomous tote-handling workflow at its Erlangen factory.
- Siemens repeated the throughput, uptime and autonomous success figures.
- The provenance strengthened even though the numeric values did not change.
- Operator corroboration does not supply the missing uptime definition or observation window.
- No intervention, downtime, failure or recovery counts were published.
Current public evidence state
The public record establishes a real factory test, 60 tote moves per hour and autonomous pick-and-place success above 90%. The reported ‘uptime exceeding 8 hours’ lacks scheduled time, downtime and event definitions, so it cannot be interpreted as an availability percentage or MTBF result.
