About HMND 01 Alpha Bipedal
HMND 01 Alpha Bipedal is Humanoid's full-size bipedal development prototype, built around a 29-joint body and a reinforcement-learning whole-body controller. Its locomotion set covers straight and curved walking, turning, sidestepping, backward walking, squatting, hopping and running; modular wrists accept either five-finger hands or parallel grippers.
KinetIQ divides motion, perception, skills and higher-level intelligence across NVIDIA compute, while RGB and depth cameras, force-torque sensing, haptics, microphones and speakers provide multimodal inputs. Humanoid positions this biped mainly for R&D toward future service and household use. The programme remains alpha-stage rather than a generally orderable research product.
