Muks Robotics
Muks Robotics is a Pune, India humanoid robotics company founded in 2021 by Dr. Mukesh Bangar, its founder, chief executive and chief technology officer, a former dentist who taught himself AI and robotics and draws on his knowledge of human anatomy in his designs. The company builds enterprise humanoid robots to address labour shortages and automate dangerous and repetitive work, with a long-term goal of robots that can work on Mars. Its Spaceo line includes the Spaceo Pro, a wheeled industrial humanoid with seven-degree-of-freedom arms and a platform payload of up to 200 kg, and the Spaceo M1, a social service humanoid that holds conversations in many languages. Both run FusionMax, Muks' offline AI system that combines vision, voice, language and action. Muks showed its Spaceo robots at the India Today Conclave in New Delhi in March 2025, and in February 2026 Pune Airport trialled the Spaceo M1 to guide travellers and give flight information in more than 85 languages.
💡Notable Achievement: Pune Airport trialled Spaceo M1 in February 2026; the robot speaks more than 85 languages.

Spaceo M1
By: Muks Robotics
Launched: 2026
The Spaceo M1 by Muks Robotics is India's pioneering mass-market social humanoid robot, standing at 162.5 cm tall with a lightweight 45 kg aluminum frame and polymer covers for durability and approachable aesthetics. Engineered for real-world deployment, it achieves a top speed of 1.5 m/s (5.4 km/h) via wheeled mobility, enabling smooth navigation in crowded environments like airports, retail spaces, and healthcare facilities. Powered by FusionMax Omni-Modal AI with 275 TOPS (INT8) on a 2048-core NVIDIA Ampere GPU, it supports multilingual conversations, emotion recognition, and domain-specific expertise. Key capabilities include carrying up to 60 kg payloads (100 kg peak) for deliveries, lifelike gestures with 10-fingered hands, advanced perception via RGB-D cameras, 3D LiDAR, and microphone arrays, plus autonomous obstacle avoidance and guided navigation. Ideal for visitor greeting, product demonstrations, queue management, and assistive tasks, it offers about 8 hours of runtime, OTA updates, and open APIs for customization, bridging human-robot interaction gaps affordably.
Spaceo Pro
By: Muks Robotics
Launched: 2024
Spaceo Pro is India's first production-ready industrial humanoid robot engineered for heavy-duty automation across manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, and retail sectors. Standing up to 7 feet tall with a 200 kg payload capacity and 7-DOF precision arms, it combines human-like proportions with advanced robotic strength. Powered by FusionMax Omni-Modal AI, Spaceo Pro autonomously perceives environments through 4D LiDAR and depth cameras, understands multilingual voice commands, and executes complex pick-and-place, material handling, and navigation tasks with ±2mm accuracy. Its modular design, real-time offline AI processing, and collaborative safety features make it adaptable for dynamic industrial environments requiring both precision and adaptability.
