The full-size robot is meant to pick items, handle parcels and sort bins in distribution centers; for now its demonstrations are teleoperated.","sections":[{"h":"History and launch","p":["Pink Robotics unveiled the P0 in August 2026. The company grew out of Anyscrew GmbH, founder Christopher Helmke's earlier business building screw-driving automation. According to Humanoids Daily, Helmke set out to build his own humanoid after a visit to Hannover Messe left him unimpressed with German efforts."]},{"h":"Design and hardware","p":["The company lists 1.75 m, 82 kg, 32 degrees of freedom and an 8 kg payload, and stresses that the prototype was designed and built in Germany. Parts are made in-house with 3D printing and laser welding, which lets the team iterate quickly on joint packaging and linkage lengths. Actuator, sensor and battery specifications have not been published."]},{"h":"Software and AI","p":["Current P0 demos are teleoperated. The team has started training vision-language-action models for manipulation and describes reliable real-world autonomy as its main technical hurdle."]},{"h":"Applications and deployments","p":["P0 targets item picking, parcel handling and bin sorting for packaged goods rather than heavy palletizing. A pilot is planned at the distribution center of an unnamed large supermarket chain."]},{"h":"Manufacturer","p":["Pink Robotics (legally Anyscrew GmbH) is based in Darmstadt. In August 2026 it was raising a seed round to grow its engineering team, with no amount or investors disclosed. It competes with far better funded German players such as NEURA Robotics and Agile Robots."]},{"h":"Price and availability","p":["P0 is a research prototype with no announced price or sale date."]}],"timeline":[["2026-08","Pink Robotics unveils the P0 prototype and starts raising a seed round"]],"faq":[["Who makes the P0 humanoid?","Pink Robotics, a Darmstadt start-up operating as Anyscrew GmbH and founded by Christopher Helmke."],["What are the Pink Robotics P0 specs?","According to the company: 1.75 m, 82 kg, 32 DoF and an 8 kg payload."],["Is P0 autonomous?","Not yet.
