Addverb Ventures Into Humanoid Robotics With Ambitious 2025 Unveiling

Addverb, a leader in industrial robotics and warehouse automation, has announced its foray into humanoid robotics, with plans to launch its next-generation humanoid robot in 2025. This bold move marks a new chapter in the company's journey, which began with fixed automation systems and mobile robots, and has since expanded into AI-driven solutions.

Previously, Addverb introduced India’s first quadruped robot, Trakr, a highly autonomous AI-powered machine capable of navigating diverse terrains for maintenance and security tasks. In 2021, Addverb onboarded Reliance as a strategic investor, which has since helped scale its robotics solutions across multiple industries, including retail, healthcare, petrochemicals, and fashion.

The humanoid robot, designed for a variety of complex environments, will leverage advanced AI algorithms to process multi-modal data from vision, audio, and tactile sensors. Equipped with GPU technology, energy-efficient actuators, and dual-arm capabilities, the robot will execute intricate tasks that require bipedal mobility, such as parcel handling, quality inspection, sorting, and assembly. It will also be capable of providing support in more challenging settings, such as disaster relief and defence.

On the humanoid robot, Sangeet Kumar, Co-founder of Addverb, said, “Our foray into humanoid robotics is driven by our ambition to eliminate '3D' jobs—those that are Dull, Dirty, and Dangerous. This project focuses on integrated processing and decision-making capabilities, enabling the humanoid to perform complex tasks with human-like dexterity and strength.”

Addverb will closely collaborate with Reliance, utilizing the synergy of the Jio AI Platform and 5G services, to develop and deploy the humanoid across a range of business applications. This next-gen humanoid will be able to learn dynamically, make real-time decisions, and adapt rapidly to both structured and unstructured environments. The robot will have the flexibility to operate across a range of industries, including logistics, healthcare, and defense, further solidifying Addverb’s leadership in the field of robotics.

With its integration of Visual and Language Action (VLA) technology, the humanoid robot is expected to offer full autonomy in complex, real-time environments, revolutionizing workflows across multiple sectors.
