Humanoid robots in business

Today, humanoid robots are primarily finding their way into industrial settings: on production lines, in warehouses and in materials handling.

Here at SMP, we are investigating what these machines are capable of in a business environment — in the office, in customer service areas, and across various services — and what needs to be put in place to ensure they can work alongside our colleagues on a long-term basis, supporting each other’s work. Our case studies are designed to address these very issues!

Our journey

From market research to the first case studies

We have been following developments in humanoid robotics for years, and we are now at the stage where we are in direct contact with the leading robot manufacturers.

  1. Before 2026

    Market monitoring

    Tracking manufacturers, platforms and capabilities.

  2. Q2 2026

    Humanoids Summit, Tokyo

    Take part in the industry’s most influential international event: manufacturers, researchers and the first genuine case studies, all in one place.

  3. Q3 2026

    Strengthening relationships with manufacturers

    Direct links with leading platform manufacturers.

  4. Q4 2026Now

    The first robot is arriving

    The arrival of the first humanoid robot at SMP.

  5. Q1 2027

    Initial case studies

    Pilot projects in a business environment, based on real-world tasks — with documented results that we also present to our partners.

The value chain

How can we help?

The value chain in the humanoid industry extends from component manufacturing right through to the end of the product’s life cycle.

Consultancy

Case studies on humanoid robots

Process assessment and a proposed case study for clients on the seamless introduction of humanoid robots.

Sales

Sale of robots and accessories

Resale of humanoid robots and accessories — gripper, LiDAR, battery, audio equipment — as well as procurement process management and support in Hungarian.

Introduction

Integration project

Installation of the robot, training it to perform specific tasks, and integration with the client’s systems.

Human–robot collaboration

Training programme

Workplace training on how humans and robots can work together safely.

Maintenance

Support

SLA service, spare parts, software updates, remote diagnostics, fleet monitoring.

Decommissioning and waste management

Hazardous waste

The removal of the device, followed by the disposal of the lithium-ion battery and the electronic components as hazardous waste subject to authorisation — with verified data erasure.

Why us?

A partner for the entire life cycle

We started early

We have been following developments in humanoid robotics for years. Our knowledge of the technology and the leading platforms is not limited to their specifications.

Your own robot, a real-life experience

From November 2026, we’ll be testing it on our own humanoid platform. Whatever we recommend, we try out on ourselves first.

We are partners throughout the entire life cycle

We support our clients every step of the way, from assessing business processes and planning implementation, through to integration and operation, right up to the end of the technology’s life cycle.

A vendor-neutral approach

We have direct links with the market’s leading manufacturers. We always seek the solution that best suits the task at hand and our clients’ requirements.

Tailored to the needs of large organisations

With our decades of experience in large organisations, we understand complex procurement processes, security and documentation requirements, and the conditions for long-term partnerships.

Experience in software and hardware integration

We integrate robots into business processes and IT systems. We take a holistic approach, from selecting the right hardware through to software integration and smooth day-to-day operation.
