Nationwide robotics rollout · Humanoid Robots
Humanoid Robots — Pilot Programs for US Manufacturing
Humanoids are moving from demos to constrained pilots. Farhand helps decide whether the job is ready, which platform fits, and what support must exist before launch.

cohort of US-built humanoid pilots open now
What you're probably running into
OEMs gate humanoid units to 5–10 lighthouse customers — no clear path to access
Humanoid software stacks change weekly — your IT team will never keep up
Most humanoid pilots fail because nobody planned the support model
How a Farhand fleet rollout works
Sourcing, financing, installation, training, and support under one roof.
01
We co-scope a real workflow — palletizing, kitting, machine tending — that justifies a humanoid vs. a fixed arm.
02
We compare available platforms, pilot paths, safety constraints, import path, supportability, and service coverage before recommending a direction.
03
Pilot units are scoped around one measurable job, not a general-purpose promise.
04
We define who trains the team, who handles faults, who updates the workflow, and what happens if the pilot stalls.
