Noida-based Addverb Technologies, backed by Mukesh Ambani, is set to revolutionize the robotics industry with the launch of one of India’s first-ever humanoid robots in 2025. This ambitious project aims to position India as a significant player in the global humanoid robotics market, competing directly with giants like Tesla, Boston Dynamics, and Agility Robotics.
A Leap Towards Advanced Robotics
Addverb Technologies, known for its innovative solutions in industrial and warehouse automation, is now venturing into the humanoid robotics segment. The company’s AI-powered humanoid robots are designed to perform complex tasks across various industries, including fashion, retail, and energy sectors.
“Our foray into humanoid robotics is driven by our ambition to eliminate ‘3D’ jobs—those that are Dull, Dirty, and Dangerous,” said Sangeet Kumar, Co-Founder and CEO of Addverb.
Leveraging Strategic Partnerships
The development of these advanced robots will leverage Addverb’s strategic partnership with Reliance Industries, incorporating Jio’s AI Platform and 5G services. These humanoid robots will feature cutting-edge GPU technology, energy-efficient actuators, and dual-arm capabilities, enabling them to navigate various terrains and perform intricate tasks.
Competing on a Global Scale
While Tesla’s Optimus robots are expected to be priced between $20,000-25,000, Addverb’s Kumar acknowledged that building humanoids requires “huge money” but expressed confidence in competing with global players, including those from China where robots receive government subsidies.
Addverb, which currently serves major clients like Reliance, HUL, and PepsiCo, aims to create an ecosystem of downstream companies similar to its successful warehouse automation ventures in India. This initiative aligns with India’s “Make in India” vision and aims to boost the country’s humanoid robot density while supporting global adoption of this technology.
