The verified answer
As of Aug 2026, DEPLOY verifies Nucleus Robotics: 1 model, 1 deployment across 1 region. 2 sources back the record.
Overview
Nucleus Robotics is a German humanoid robotics deployment company founded by Melvin Schwarz, exiting stealth in August 2026 with a claimed 90-day humanoid factory deployment. Rather than building its own hardware, Nucleus operates a robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) model using third-party humanoid platforms (including the Unitree G1) with a proprietary intelligence layer spanning perception, task planning, real-time adaptation, and fleet coordination.
The company deploys humanoids into existing industrial sites using a three-stage process: 3D scanning, simulation, and supervised teleoperation, aiming to build the largest deployed artificial industrial workforce. Team veterans previously worked at 1X, NEURA Robotics, Agile Robots, CERN, and ESA.
