About HL Human
HL Human is a 19-degree-of-freedom humanoid prototype developed in Japan for manufacturing, logistics, infrastructure inspection and disaster response. Two four-axis arms support assembly and handling, with an optional five-finger hand carrying objects up to three kilograms.
Stereo vision and lidar provide mapping and autonomous movement at up to three kilometres per hour. Collision detection, automatic braking and distance-based speed control support operation around people. Highlanders began an early-access programme in 2025 and planned production development through 2026.
