The first Humanoid Lounge — a next-generation robotics center — has opened in Saudi Arabia.

Humanoid has opened the Humanoid Lounge in Riyadh, a next-generation robotics center. The project was launched in partnership with local company QSS AI & Robotics, which will serve as the exclusive distributor and oversee robot assembly at a factory in Saudi Arabia.

The Humanoid Lounge serves as a new venue for showcasing the capabilities of humanoid robotics in Riyadh. Visitors are introduced to various robot models, including the industrial HMND 01 Alpha Wheeled. During demonstrations, the robots perform diverse tasks, operate in teleoperation mode, and exhibit human-robot interaction. The center also conducts educational robotics workshops.

Humanoid plans to deploy up to 10,000 robots in Saudi Arabia over the next five years. Key application areas include industry, logistics, retail, energy, infrastructure, and public services. Local assembly in partnership with QSS AI & Robotics will enable adaptation of the technology to the regional market and accelerate scaling efforts.
