Minerva Humanoids builds Roger, a purpose-built semi-autonomous humanoid robot for hazardous work in onshore and offshore oil and gas, high-voltage power plants, explosive ordnance disposal and hazardous-material response. A trained specialist teleoperates Roger through a VR headset while its in-house Minerva Intelligence software handles balance, fall recovery and navigation, keeping the human operator out of the danger zone. Founded at the end of 2025, the startup is headquartered in San Francisco with offices in Cambridge, Massachusetts and Sindelfingen, Germany, and went from an idea to a walking humanoid in five months.
