Explore the Safety ToolkitIndependent Coverage of Humanoid Robots in Industry and at Home
There’s A Robot For That is an independent publication tracking humanoid robots where they actually work: on factory floors, in warehouses, and, since 2026, in the first consumer homes. I cover the manufacturers building walking robots, the facilities deploying them, and the safety standards that govern them, with every claim tied to named sources such as ISO, OSHA, Counterpoint Research, and IDTechEx rather than vendor marketing.
Every article here is researched, written and edited by Ulrich Baldauf. I have tracked the humanoid robot sector since 2024 with a focus on safety standards (ISO 10218, EU Machinery Regulation 2023/1230) and what deployments mean for operations and EHS teams. You can read more about my methodology or reach me any time via the contact page.
New here? Start with the guides readers use most: the humanoid robot companies guide for the full manufacturer landscape, the cost and ROI breakdown for deployment economics, and the safety standards guide for compliance planning. Newsletter briefings go out three times a week.
