About Siemens
Siemens AG is a global technology company focused on industry, infrastructure, transport, and healthcare. The company's Digital Industries division is a world leader in industrial automation and digitalization — combining the real and digital worlds through the Siemens Xcelerator platform.
With the rise of Physical AI and humanoid robotics, Siemens is pioneering the integration of autonomous systems into production environments. Through partnerships with Nvidia and Humanoid, Siemens is testing humanoid robots in real factory settings — including the successful pilot of the HMND 01 Alpha robot at the Siemens Electronics Plant in Erlangen.
The Siemens Xcelerator portfolio provides the digital backbone for humanoid robotics: from digital twins to AI-powered perception, integrated control systems, fleet management, and industrial communication networks.
