Vesoma, a new European humanoid robotics startup based in Munich and Limassol, has come out of stealth with 60+ staff and 3,500+ square metres of lab and office space.
- Registered in December 2025, the team designed, built and walked its first humanoid prototype in just six months, moving on a policy the machine learned itself
- Work now focuses on software, AI, and Vesoma 1, with first units under construction
- The team argues reliability in physical AI requires fast iteration loops on real hardware
- The thesis: labor shortages in warehouses, factories and care work leave tasks that demand human-level autonomy, mobility and dexterity — a multi-trillion-dollar opportunity
The post lays out a full founding narrative from labor shortage to the physical-work market opportunity.
