DESIGNING & ANALYZING HUMANOID ROBOTS, & etc.
Hej, I’m Mehrdad H. M. Farimani. I’m a Sweden-based technologist and designer with over a decade of experience in humanoid robotics. I have co-founded two robotics companies, led robot design teams, and worked hands-on across product, engineering, and strategy. I advise companies, teach, write and speak as keynoter.
Thinking About Humanoids?
Humanoid robots are moving fast, but clarity is lagging behind. Between technical breakthroughs, bold claims, and polished demos, it is increasingly hard for organizations to tell what is real, what is viable, and what is simply too early.
Alongside my design and engineering work, I advise organizations, startups, and investors on how humanoids actually fit into products, operations, and markets. This work focuses on sense-making, risk reduction, and decision support, not hype or evangelism.
If you are evaluating humanoids as a strategic direction, considering an investment, or trying to understand whether they belong in your organization at all, you can read more about this work here.
