Sterling Law Represents Humanoid on Strategic Manufacturing Partnership with Bosch
London, UK – 22 May 2026 – Sterling Law is pleased to announce that the firm represented Humanoid, the UK-based AI and robotics company, in its strategic manufacturing partnership with Bosch, one of the world’s leading technology and engineering companies. Announced on 21 May 2026, the agreement follows the successful completion of a joint proof of concept (POC) in March 2026 and marks Humanoid’s transition from validation to scaled production of its HMND 01 humanoid robots for the European market.
Under the agreement, Bosch will act as Humanoid’s contract manufacturing partner for the HMND 01 platform, while also providing strategic oversight and technical expertise through a structured Design for Excellence (DfX) framework spanning hardware design, production, supply chain, and cost optimisation. The arrangement further contemplates the integration of Bosch technologies, including actuators, drives, sensors, and other advanced components, into future versions of the HMND 01 platform. The preceding POC, conducted at Bosch’s logistics facility in Bühl, Germany, saw Humanoid’s robots autonomously handle five different box sizes across a dynamic intralogistics workflow, orchestrated through Humanoid’s proprietary KinetIQ AI framework.
The Sterling Law team was led by Ilia Martynov, Head of Corporate Advisory, who acts for Humanoid across various transactions and commented:
“It has been a real pleasure to support Humanoid on this next chapter of its growth. Securing a manufacturing partner of Bosch’s standing speaks volumes about what the Humanoid team has built, and we are delighted to have helped bring the agreement across the line. Our warmest congratulations to the entire Humanoid team on a partnership that places the company firmly on the path to scale.”
Sterling Law extends its congratulations to Humanoid, its founder, and to all parties involved in bringing this strategic partnership to completion.
