UK-based AI and robotics company Humanoid has announced a partnership with Saudi Arabian robotics and artificial intelligence company QSS AI & Robotics.
QSS AI & Robotics specialises in the localisation of advanced technologies under Vision 2030.
By utilising QSS’s deep regional expertise, infrastructure, and government partnerships, the collaboration aims to accelerate the deployment and local manufacturing of humanoid robots across the Kingdom.
Humanoid & QSS, together will co-develop a localised market-entry strategy, ensuring full alignment with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and its national digital transformation roadmap.
Under the agreement, QSS AI & Robotics will serve as Humanoid’s exclusive commercial, distribution, and localisation partner in Saudi Arabia.
The partnership will focus on introducing, deploying, and supporting Humanoid’s robots across key sectors, including manufacturing, logistics, retail, and infrastructure.
As part of the collaboration, QSS will utilise its Robotics Factory in Riyadh to explore localised assembly, customisation, and support operations for Humanoid.
The partners have also agreed on a non-binding pre-order framework of up to 10,000 humanoid units for the Saudi clients over the next five years, marking one of the largest potential humanoid deployments in the Middle East.
Founder of Humanoid, Artem Sokolov, said: “Saudi Arabia represents one of the most forward-looking markets in the world when it comes to innovation.
“This partnership is our first step into the MENA region, a market with immense potential for large-scale adoption of humanoid robots.
“Together with QSS, we aim to bring humanoid robotics from concept to reality, driving efficiency, safety, and progress across industries”.
