P49 Humanoid Labs

Robot Skill Factory.

We teach humanoid robots the skills industry needs. In physical labs of up to 7,000 m², on real robots, with real engineers.

Multi-vendor fleets

The world's best robots. Under one roof.

Every Humanoid Lab runs a mixed fleet of top-of-the-range robots from the world's leading manufacturers. Our R&D gives each platform more skills — and gives companies a fleet trained for their exact needs.

Dexterity

Gentle enough to hold an egg. Strong enough for a full shift.

Force control is a skill too. We teach robots to handle what is fragile — glass, food, surgical instruments — with the same precision they bring to heavy loads.

The method

From human skill to robot skill. In four steps.

  1. 01

    Demonstrate

    Expert operators perform the task in VR and motion capture. The robot mirrors every movement — and every movement becomes data.

  2. 02

    Train

    Our engineers turn demonstrations into robust skills, trained in simulation and refined on real hardware, thousands of times over.

  3. 03

    Validate

    Every skill is tested in a full-scale replica of the client's environment: same shelves, same parts, same light, same pace.

  4. 04

    Deploy

    The validated skill ships to the client's fleet, with remote monitoring and continuous improvement from the lab.

Skill Library

If a person can teach it, a robot can learn it.

Human Hole → Robot Hole

Human hole. Robot hole.

Sewers, tanks, silos, tunnels, high-voltage cabinets. Confined spaces are among the most dangerous places anyone can work. From 2027, the robot goes in first — and the person stays above ground, in control.

  • Gas, heat and darkness stop being a human risk
  • Live video, sensor data and full traceability
  • Operators trained to supervise, not to descend

On the front line

From the fire line to the operating room.

Fire & Emergency

Fire & Emergency

Into the smoke. So people don't have to.

Hose handling, valve isolation and search in low-visibility environments, trained side by side with fire brigades.

Healthcare

Healthcare

Precision, sterilised. In every operation.

Instrument handover, counting and sterile logistics, trained with surgical teams in a full operating-theatre replica.

Global network

One method. Six labs. Four continents.

Every Humanoid Lab is a training floor of 3,600 to 7,000 m² with multi-robot fleets, full-scale replica environments and a local engineering team — each one specialised in the industries of its region.

Impact

Today's experts teach tomorrow's robots.

Automation doesn't have to leave people behind. The warehouse operator, the firefighter, the surgical nurse — their know-how is exactly what robots need. The P49H Academy turns that experience into new careers.

P49H Academy

New jobs we train for

  1. 01

    Robot Trainer

    Teaches skills through demonstration and teleoperation.

  2. 02

    Teleoperator

    Guides robots remotely through new or delicate tasks.

  3. 03

    Skill Data Engineer

    Turns demonstrations into training data and robot skills.

  4. 04

    Fleet Supervisor

    Runs mixed robot fleets on the client's floor.

  5. 05

    Robot Safety Officer

    Certifies that every skill is safe around people.

While the city sleeps, the skills keep training.

A skill learned in one lab is shared with the whole network overnight. Every robot gets better, everywhere.

For robot makers

Built with the world's leading robot makers.

We are the R&D lab of the humanoid ecosystem. Robot makers bring their platforms to our floors to gain as many skills as possible on their devices; companies bring their needs, and we adapt existing robots to them. Data and training programmes are shared, and every skill flows back into the platforms.

Open-source
