Vesoma exits stealth: 60-person team built a walking humanoid prototype in six months
breadli428 · x · 2026-09-23
Vesoma has left stealth mode. Registered in December 2025, the company has grown to 60+ people, fitted out over 3,500 sqm of lab and office space in Munich and Limassol, and designed, built and walked its first humanoid prototypes in six months — moving on a self-learned policy.
The thesis: physical labor faces a structural and deepening shortage over the next two decades. Conventional automation has taken the exactly-repeating work; what remains needs human-level autonomy, mobility and dexterity. Whoever solves this builds something closer to infrastructure than a product, worth trillions annually.
