Humanoid Robots · Founded 2025 · Pre-seed
Minerva Humanoids builds semi-autonomous humanoid robots for hazardous work in oil and gas and public safety. Its platform, Roger, lets trained operators control robots from a safe location, handling tasks such as turning valves, condition monitoring and emergency response. The company describes its robots as Western-sovereign, with US software and German assembly. It emerged from stealth in October 2026 with a $10M pre-seed round led by General Catalyst. Minerva says it is moving into commercial work, launching its first paid pilots in autumn 2026. It has worked with the NATO EOD Centre of Excellence and Abu Dhabi's MBZUAI on energy-sector robots.
