Technical Milestones
April 2025: Mid-Air Walking
NEMO can now walk smoothly mid-air with controlled leg motion driven through gaming controllers, arrow keys, and manual input commands. In simulation, NEMO’s walking motion is stable, coordinated, and visually smooth. Our current focus is bridging the gap between simulation and reality, taking this movement from controlled tests and simulation environments to walking in the real world.
December 2025: First Steps on the ground
NEMO has now taken its first steps on the ground, marking a major milestone in bringing the robot from simulation into the real world. This test focuses on the lower-body walking system, while the effects of the upper body have already been accounted for in NEMO’s design, balance, and control strategy. Each step brings us closer to smoother, more stable, and fully integrated humanoid walking as we continue improving NEMO’s movement one test at a time.

We hosted StarkHacks, the world’s largest hardware hackathon - a 36-hour event where students didn’t just code ideas, they actually built them. We gave hackers free hardware like Arduinos, sensors, microcontrollers, and electronics, along with access to 3D printers, soldering stations, power tools, and fabrication resources. Students came from all over the world like Poland, Italy, Switzerland, India, etc.

“Your vision of sending a humanoid robot to space is remarkable. The depth of this project is inspiring, and I'm eagerly looking forward to witnessing its journey and impact.”
WHY HUMANOID ROBOTS
Humanoid robots are poised to redefine the landscape of space exploration, offering unmatched versatility and adaptability in extraterrestrial environments. With their human-like capabilities, they navigate complex terrain, manipulate tools, and interact with surroundings with remarkable agility. In space missions, they revolutionize tasks too hazardous or impractical for human astronauts or conventional rovers.
