## Common questions

### What is Nucleus Robotics?

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](/models/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](/companies/1x), [NEURA Robotics](/companies/neura-robotics), [Agile Robots](/companies/agile-robots), CERN, and ESA.

### What does Nucleus Robotics make?

Nucleus Robotics has 1 robot model on the DEPLOY registry: Nucleus Operator (Nucleus Robotics builds both physical robots and the AI that runs them).

### Where is Nucleus Robotics headquartered?

Nucleus Robotics is headquartered in Gütersloh, Germany.

### Where does Nucleus Robotics operate robots?

Nucleus Robotics operates 1 verified deployment, including at Germany.

### How many robots has Nucleus Robotics deployed?

DEPLOY has 1 verified Nucleus Robotics deployment on record at sites including Germany. That is a count of distinct field deployments each backed by sourced evidence, not a manufacturer's claimed unit total; it updates as new sites are verified.

### Is Nucleus Robotics a top robotics company?

On DEPLOY's intelligence score, which blends verified deployments, funding, hiring, media, safety, and IP signals, Nucleus Robotics ranks in roughly the top 50% of companies tracked by the registry.
