Uma, a Paris-based robotics startup, unveiled its humanoid robot work at the Machina summit in France after nine months of operating quietly. The company raised funding and has established a team of 14 people across locations in Paris, Toulouse, and Lyon, with plans to develop humanoid robots for industrial and commercial applications. Uma positions Europe as an advantageous market for robotics development due to regulatory frameworks and labor costs compared to other regions.
