Consulting in Humanoids

Helping organizations make informed decisions about humanoid robots before they become expensive mistakes

Background

I have spent more than a decade designing humanoids and mobile robots. After a while, something became obvious to me: what feels clear and intuitive inside robotics labs is confusing, noisy, and often misleading from the outside.

Today, the humanoid space is full of hype, half-truths, polished demos, and very real technical progress all mixed together. Many organizations are curious, excited, or even pressured to “do something with humanoids,” but struggle to answer basic questions about value, feasibility, timing, and fit.

My role is not to sell humanoids.

My role is to help you understand where they actually make sense, and where they do not.

Why This Work Exists

Getting humanoids into the real world is not just a hardware or software problem. Even great robots fail without:

  • a functioning value chain

  • the right market actors

  • realistic deployment strategies

  • and organizations that are actually ready to adopt them

Through my work inside humanoid labs and with multiple humanoid companies, I kept getting the same questions from outside the core robotics bubble:

  • Who are the real players?

  • What problems are humanoids actually good at solving?

  • What is technically impressive versus economically viable?

  • How far are we really from deployment?

This consulting work emerged naturally from those conversations.
