Humanoid robot manufacturers are companies that design, develop, and produce humanoid robots. As of 2026, 107 companies across 22 countries are actively developing humanoid robots, producing a combined total of 169 known models. The industry spans publicly traded corporations like Tesla and Honda, heavily funded startups like Figure AI and 1X Technologies, subsidiaries of larger conglomerates, and small research-stage companies.
China and the United States dominate the field, accounting for the majority of manufacturers. The rapid growth in the number of companies entering this space, particularly from 2022 onward, reflects increasing investor confidence in humanoid robots as a commercial technology rather than a pure research pursuit.
The humanoid robotics industry accelerated rapidly starting in 2022, driven by several converging factors: advances in artificial intelligence (particularly large language models and reinforcement learning), cheaper and more capable actuators, improved battery technology, and high-profile announcements from Tesla and other major companies that attracted billions in venture capital.
Key characteristics of the current landscape:
