Robotics, Humanoids & Physical AI

From cobots and AMRs to humanoids and embodied AI. The engineers and commercial leaders building machines that move, sense and act in the real world.

Robotics has moved from the lab to the production line, and the frontier has moved again. Humanoids and physical AI are pulling record capital into a field that already couldn't hire fast enough, and the companies defining it are competing for the same narrow pool of controls, perception, manipulation and go-to-market talent.

We map across automotive, aerospace, industrial automation and the new wave of humanoid and foundation-model robotics companies to find leaders who can scale both the product and the organisation behind it. When a Series B humanoid business and a listed automation OEM are chasing the same VP Engineering, the cross-sector lens is what delivers shortlists others can't.

Robbie was excellent beginning to end throughout the recruitment process. As a candidate was very easy to work with and made sure I had everything I needed to do the best possible in my interviews.

Elliot Marriner · Senior Marketing Manager, Zetes

I've had the pleasure of working with Robby as a recruiter, and I can confidently say he stands out for all the right reasons. Robby is proactive, professional, and genuinely invested in the people he works with. He takes the time to understand your skills, goals, and what you're really looking for, not just to fill a role, but to find the right fit. His communication is clear and consistent throughout the process, which makes a huge difference. What impressed me most is his honesty and commitment. He keeps you informed, gives useful feedback, and goes the extra mile to support you at every stage. If you're looking for a recruiter who is reliable, approachable, and truly cares about getting the best outcome for you, I would highly recommend Robby.
