Stuhr, January 6, 2026 – The United Robotics Group (URG) is presenting its humanoid robot uMe for the first time at CES 2026. The technological prototype complements the existing portfolio of mobile service and health robots and shows how humanoid robotics can be meaningfully integrated into real work environments. uMe is demonstrating its first core functions at the trade fair, such as voice-based interaction, pre-programmed movement sequences and sensor-based perception. These include, among other things, high-resolution cameras, depth sensors, a microphone array and an interactive display that can be used to display content and dialogues. On the software side, uMe is fully integrated into the URG platform uGo+ and was designed from the outset to fit seamlessly into existing data flows, device connections and workflows.
Humanoid robotics for education, care and research
As a humanoid extension of the portfolio, uMe primarily addresses environments in which social interaction and accessibility are the focus. These include educational institutions in which uMe supports learning content and makes technical connections tangible, as well as care environments in which the robot accompanies routines and offers relieving support through conversations, activation and orientation. uMe also opens up new opportunities for research teams to develop and test robotic functions.
Wassim Saeidi, founder and CEO of the United Robotics Group, explains: “uMe is an important step in the development of our platform. It makes it clear how humanoid robotics can contribute to social challenges in the future. For us, what is important is not the spectacular, but the practical use. We show how a humanoid system can be integrated into existing processes and can create real added value for nursing staff, teachers and researchers.”
uGo+ as a central software platform between hardware and application
uMe is fully integrated into the uGo+ software platform, which connects mobile and humanoid robotic systems via a common architecture. uGo+ is deliberately designed as a user-centered platform that is continually evolving and will have a clear no-code character in the future. The aim is to enable users to configure and adapt robotics workflows independently, safely and without programming knowledge. The further development of uGo+ is – alongside the humanoid prototype uMe – one of the central development focuses of the United Robotics Group, as this creates a bridge between hardware, concrete applications and suitability for everyday use. uMe is also designed as an open, expandable platform and offers partners from industry, research and education the opportunity to develop their own modules, test functions and pilot new scenarios. This creates a consistent interaction between the software platform and specialized robot systems, which already include uLab Mobile, uServe, uLog and uClean, several specialized service robots for laboratory, clinic and logistics environments. Together they form a consistent system in which mobile and humanoid robotics can work together via a common infrastructure.
