Software Ecosystem

AI / Model Approach	KinetIQ — proprietary AI framework with four-layer cross-timescale architecture: System 3 (agentic fleet orchestrator reacting within seconds), System 2 (VLM-based task planning and monitoring), System 1 (VLA-based task execution at 5-10Hz), System 0 (RL-trained whole-body control). VLM and VLA-based. Single system controls robots of different embodiments simultaneously. According to Humanoid.
Training Methodology	System 0 whole-body control trained in simulation via online RL, requiring approximately 15,000 hours of experience. According to Humanoid.
Developer Access	No public SDK. Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) model with fleet management software, 24/7 support, and ongoing performance management. According to The Robot Report.
Third-Party Integrations	NVIDIA physical AI stack (Jetson Thor, Isaac Lab) — HMND 01 built using NVIDIA physical AI stack. SAP Joule agent — KinetIQ stack bridged to SAP enterprise AI in live POC. Siemens Xcelerator for industrial integration. Bosch (manufacturing partner) and Schaeffler (actuator supplier and deployment partner).
