Canonical ID: `886d95f0-d594-42f4-b5bd-be0258094c3f`

HMND 01 Alpha wheeled humanoid robot deployed at Schaeffler Group's Schweinfurt production facility in Bavaria, Germany, under the same binding phased RaaS agreement covering Herzogenaurach.

Schweinfurt is Schaeffler's second German site in the initial December 2026 rollout. The Schweinfurt phase focuses on a six-month validation phase for continuous operation testing at full production scale, running December 2026 through June 2027.

The deployment is part of a broader RaaS agreement targeting a four-digit number of wheeled HMND 01 units across Schaeffler's global production network by 2032. Schaeffler serves as both operator and preferred actuator supplier to Humanoid.
