HMND 01 Alpha × Siemens

Operator corroborated

A bounded two-week factory proof of concept with operator-corroborated throughput and autonomous task-success figures, plus a manufacturer account of the test structure.

Audit conclusion

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.

02 / Claims audit

Claim by claim

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: humanoid-siemens-poc-2026, siemens-humanoid-2026
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: humanoid-siemens-poc-2026, siemens-humanoid-2026
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.

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.

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.

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.
