Humanoid Application Center

Building the future of Humanoid Robotics.

Working with humanoids starts here.

The Humanoid Application Center is where Dutch industry, education and partners get hands-on with humanoid robotics. Studios, masterclasses and training programmes, guided, no fluff.

One location where technology, people and organisation meet.

At HAC you work hands-on with humanoid robots. We combine a fully equipped workspace with a learning programme, a partner network and a calendar full of demo days. No slideware, just execution. Whether you come for one masterclass or a multi-year programme. You leave with something that works.

FROM THE SHOP FLOOR

Working humanoids, not renders.

02 · STUDIOS

A workshop, not a showroom.

Robots in operation, engineers within reach, a shop floor that looks as industrial as the companies that come here to learn.

  • 01

    In operation, not on display.

    Every humanoid here is a production unit doing actual tasks. You work with them the way an engineer would. Nothing is scripted.

  • 02

    Engineers on the shop floor.

    Each studio has a resident engineer. Questions are answered by someone who runs the system themselves, not by sales.

  • 03

    Industrial context.

    1,000 m² shop floor at MICS Conradstraat 4. High ceilings, assembly benches, sensor racks. No office furniture, no pitch rooms.

  • 04

    Dedicated engineering per use case.

    On longer programmes you get a single engineer assigned to your studio and your use case. No rotating faces, no mid-track handovers.

Half-day (Briefing) or full-day (Masterclass).
