Platforms / selection

Choose a humanoid robot platform around the task.

Humanoid robots differ in size, mobility, manipulation, autonomy and software openness. MALONI is seeking manufacturer partners and evaluates platforms against the use case rather than endorsing an unsigned brand.

Platform categories

These categories describe possible approaches, not products currently sold or authorized by MALONI.

01

Full-size industrial humanoids

Platforms intended for task trials in structured industrial environments.

02

Compact development humanoids

Smaller systems suited to research, teaching and software development.

03

Service and interaction humanoids

Human-facing platforms for carefully scoped communication and presentation.

04

Mobile manipulators

Mobile bases with arms for task-specific reach and manipulation.

05

Research and embodied-AI systems

Open development platforms for perception, planning and learning.

06

Dexterous hands and teleoperation

Manipulation and remote-control systems that may form part of a larger solution.

02 / Humanoid Robots

What to compare before a pilot

  • Intended task, payload, reach and mobility
  • Manipulation, autonomy, teleoperation and runtime
  • APIs, software openness and integration effort
  • Safety concept, maintainability and spare-parts path
  • Manufacturer support, EU documentation and applicable compliance

ImportantPublished specifications alone do not establish suitability in a customer environment.

A practical platform-selection worksheet

For each candidate, write down the task, the requirement, the evidence and the open decision. This example is a worksheet, not a tested MALONI deployment or a product recommendation.

01

Task

Move a specified container between two marked points under supervision. Record the route, object and people nearby.

02

Requirement

Confirm payload, grip, route width, charging and the permitted operating conditions with the manufacturer.

03

Evidence to request

Observe repeated task attempts in the intended setting; log completion, human interventions and safe stops.

04

Open decision

Check platform access, EU documentation, integration effort and the agreed path for faults before approving a pilot.

04 / Humanoid Robots

Check the route to support before selecting a platform

Ask the manufacturer for the operating and maintenance documentation, diagnostic and log access, software update rules and a named escalation route. Record who owns spare parts, warranty decisions and recovery after a fault. Confirm which documents and conformity evidence apply to the intended EU use and site. These are evaluation questions; support terms depend on a manufacturer agreement.

From selection to evidence

We first define the task and operating conditions, then identify platform requirements and what a demonstration must prove. Availability, commercial terms and technical responsibilities depend on a future manufacturer agreement.
