New Delhi – Addverb Technologies unveiled Elixis-W, a wheeled humanoid robot, at the AI Impact Summit 2026 in New Delhi on February 20, 2026, signaling a new phase in India’s industrial automation capabilities. The robot, described as India’s first Made-in-India wheeled humanoid, is designed for industrial use and represents a shift from structured automation to collaborative robotics, according to company officials.
Elixis-W was also showcased at LogiMAT India 2026, where it garnered attention from industry leaders and automation professionals. Jalaj Dani, Chairman of Addverb Technologies, stated the launch reflects the increasing strength of indigenous engineering and its role in shaping the future of Indian industry. The company intends for the robot to move humanoid robotics in India from conceptualization to practical application.
The robot is equipped with stereo depth cameras, 3D LiDAR sensors, and multimodal AI perception, enabling it to navigate complex spaces with accuracy, particularly within warehouse and industrial settings. Addverb Technologies’ Co-founder & CEO, Sangeet Kumar, highlighted the company’s evolution from addressing structured challenges in warehouses to building systems capable of operating safely alongside people in less predictable environments.
The development of Elixis-W positions India as an active contributor to advanced robotics, rather than simply following global trends. The robot’s unveiling comes as conversations across the automation industry center on productivity and the next phase of industrial growth. A LinkedIn post by Lovely Rajput highlighted witnessing the robot in action at the summit, describing it as the future of home assistance, though its primary focus remains industrial applications.
Addverb Technologies’ approach with Elixis-W is described as a practical step forward, rather than a purely demonstrative one. The company began by focusing on structured challenges in warehouses and factories, and has expanded to building systems for less predictable industrial environments. The robot’s development is intended to address the growing need for collaborative robotics in India’s industrial sector.
