Northstar

UMA's first humanoid robot platform, designed for warehouse and industrial applications. Features Real-Time Learning architecture enabling skill acquisition through human demonstration rather than manual programming. Lightweight and wheeled, designed to navigate human-centric spaces and collaborate with workers. Built in under nine months by a small team.

Northstar is at the prototype stage: it exists, but DEPLOY has no verified real-world deployment on record. Manufacturer capability claims should be read as claims pending independent verification.

Northstar is made by UMA, based in Paris, France, founded in 2025.

Northstar is at prototype stage and is not yet available for sale.

Northstar and Walker S2 (UBTech Robotics · 18 deployments) are both humanoid robots on the DEPLOY registry. Northstar has 0 verified deployments on record. Compare both records for specs, safety, deployments, and verified-vs-claimed autonomy.

On DEPLOY's intelligence score, which blends verified deployments, safety, adoption, media, and IP signals, Northstar ranks in roughly the top 76% of humanoid models tracked by the registry.

Northstar is at the prototype stage on the DEPLOY maturity ladder (research, prototype, pilot, commercial, production). Prototype stage means demonstrations exist but commercial readiness is not yet established.

No verified deployments of Northstar are currently on the DEPLOY registry. DEPLOY records deployments only when verified at a named site with a primary source; absence may reflect pre-deployment, research, or manufacturer-internal use.

Northstar has no incidents on record in the DEPLOY registry. This does not constitute a safety guarantee; it reflects the incidents DEPLOY has tracked and verified to date.
