## Highlights

Notable milestones from Nucleus Robotics’s journey — funding rounds, launches, and other moments worth knowing.

Partnership - Oct 2026

### Nucleus and RBTX plan a fleet of up to 100 humanoid robots

Nucleus Robotics chose igus’s RBTX marketplace to source up to 100 humanoid robots for a planned logistics fleet. RBTX provides access to multiple robot models and integration expertise, while Nucleus plans to deploy and supervise the systems for tasks such as order picking and stocking.

Milestone - Oct 2026

### Nucleus publishes nearly two hours of uncut factory work

Nucleus released a nearly two-hour factory-shift recording that retained hesitations and human interventions, rather than a tightly edited demo. The company said the run was about 60% autonomous and 40% teleoperated, and reported that its robots were regularly completing four-to-six-hour shifts end to end — a concrete, if company-reported, measure of its deployment-first operating model.

Milestone - Sep 2026

### Nucleus II reaches the factory floor with a wheeled industrial platform

Nucleus deployed its Nucleus II platform in a factory, trading legs for a wheeled base built around industrial safety and uptime. Each arm carries up to 10 kg and the system has six times the battery capacity of Nucleus I; Nucleus uses the live shift data and teleoperation failures to refine the platform for subsequent customer deployments.

Launch - Aug 2026

### Factory deployment in under 90 days, with robot labor billed hourly

Nucleus emerged from stealth reporting that it had deployed humanoid robots in a German factory in under 90 days. Its service combines deployment and supervised operation, billing for physical work while collecting factory data to train greater autonomy.

**Nucleus’s launch paired industrial robot deployment with an hourly service model.**

Team - Feb 2026

### German entity registered for industrial humanoid robotics

Nucleus Robotics UG was entered in the Gütersloh commercial register with Melvin Missaye Schwarz as managing director. Its registered purpose covers industrial humanoid robots and an operator framework using imitation learning, real-time monitoring and teleoperation.
