**Humanoid robot manufacturers** are companies that design, develop, and produce [humanoid robots](/wiki/humanoid_robot). The leading manufacturers in 2026 are [Tesla](/wiki/tesla) (the [Optimus](/wiki/tesla_optimus)), [Figure AI](/wiki/figure_ai) (Figure 02 and 03), [Boston Dynamics](/wiki/boston_dynamics) (the all-electric Atlas), [Agility Robotics](/wiki/agility_robotics) (Digit), [1X Technologies](/wiki/1x_technologies) (NEO and EVE), [Apptronik](/wiki/apptronik) (Apollo), and the Chinese makers [Unitree](/wiki/unitree), [UBTECH Robotics](/wiki/ubtech), [AgiBot](/wiki/agibot), and [Fourier Intelligence](/wiki/fourier_intelligence). As of 2026, at least 107 companies across 22 countries are actively developing humanoid robots, producing a combined total of 169 known models, with China and the United States accounting for the majority of manufacturers.[1][7]

China and the United States dominate the field. 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. [Goldman Sachs](/wiki/goldman_sachs) projects the total addressable market for humanoid robots will reach $38 billion by 2035, up more than sixfold from its previous $6 billion estimate, citing accelerating progress in [artificial intelligence](/wiki/artificial_intelligence).[8] [Morgan Stanley](/wiki/morgan_stanley) projects the market could exceed $5 trillion by 2050, with close to 1 billion humanoid robots in use.[9]

## Who are the leading humanoid robot manufacturers?

The companies most often cited as front-runners pair a flagship humanoid robot with either real commercial deployments or aggressive production plans:

| Manufacturer | Country | Flagship robot | 2025-2026 status |
|---|---|---|---|

| [UBTECH Robotics](/wiki/ubtech) | China | [Walker S2](/wiki/ubtech_walker_s2) | Walker S2 entered mass production in early 2026 with orders exceeding 800 million yuan[16] |
| [AgiBot](/wiki/agibot) | China | Expedition / A2 series | Ranked #1 globally by Omdia for 2025 shipments (5,168 units, 39% share); delivered its 10,000th unit in March 2026[17] |

## Industry overview

The humanoid robotics industry accelerated rapidly starting in 2022, driven by several converging factors: advances in [artificial intelligence](/wiki/artificial_intelligence) (particularly [large language models](/wiki/large_language_model) and [reinforcement learning](/wiki/reinforcement_learning)), cheaper and more capable actuators, improved battery technology, and high-profile announcements from [Tesla](/wiki/tesla) and other major companies that attracted billions in venture capital. TrendForce forecasts that global humanoid robot shipments will exceed 50,000 units in 2026, a roughly sevenfold jump over the prior year.[7]

Key characteristics of the current landscape:

- **49 manufacturers based in China**, making it the largest national cluster
- **17 manufacturers based in United States**, the second-largest cluster
- **4 publicly traded companies** (Tesla, Honda, Toyota, Xiaomi, and others)
- **13 venture-backed startups** at various funding stages
- **4 subsidiaries** of larger corporate groups
- Announced funding across the sector exceeds **$10 billion**, with [Figure AI](/wiki/figure_ai) alone valued at $39 billion[10]

## Which companies make humanoid robots in China?

China is the largest single cluster of humanoid robot manufacturers, with 49 of the 107 companies on this list (45.8%) based there.[1] By early 2026, Chinese firms accounted for the large majority of global humanoid installations, helped by a deep hardware supply chain (sensors, actuators, and batteries) carried over from the electric vehicle industry.[15] The most prominent Chinese makers include:

- **[Unitree](/wiki/unitree)** (Hangzhou): became the world's top-selling humanoid maker in 2025 and filed for a Shanghai Stock Exchange IPO seeking around 4.2 billion yuan (about $610 million). Its [G1](/wiki/unitree_g1) sells from roughly $16,000, among the most affordable full-size humanoids.[15]
- **[UBTECH Robotics](/wiki/ubtech)** (Shenzhen): its [Walker S2](/wiki/ubtech_walker_s2) industrial humanoid entered mass production in early 2026, with reported orders exceeding 800 million yuan.[16]
- **[AgiBot](/wiki/agibot)** (Shanghai): ranked the world's #1 humanoid maker by shipments in 2025 by research firm Omdia (5,168 units, 39% share) and delivered its 10,000th robot in March 2026.[17]
- **[Fourier Intelligence](/wiki/fourier_intelligence)** (Shanghai): a rehabilitation-robotics company whose [GR-2](/wiki/fourier_intelligence_gr_2) humanoid has 53 degrees of freedom and targets healthcare applications.[6]
- Other notable Chinese entrants include [Xiaomi](/wiki/xiaomi), [XPENG Robotics](/wiki/xpeng_robotics), [Kepler Robotics](/wiki/kepler_robotics), [EngineAI](/wiki/engineai), [Galaxea Dynamics](/wiki/galaxea_dynamics), and [Robotera](/wiki/robotera).

## How big is the humanoid robot market?

Market forecasts for humanoid robots vary widely by time horizon and methodology, so the figures below are attributed to their sources:

| Source | Forecast | Horizon | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| [Goldman Sachs](/wiki/goldman_sachs) | $38 billion total addressable market; 1.4 million annual unit shipments | 2035 | Raised more than sixfold from a prior $6 billion estimate, citing AI progress[8] |
| [Morgan Stanley](/wiki/morgan_stanley) | Over $5 trillion, including supply chain and services; close to 1 billion humanoids in use | 2050 | About 90% of units (roughly 930 million) expected in industrial and commercial roles[9] |
| TrendForce | More than 50,000 unit shipments globally | 2026 | Roughly a sevenfold increase over the prior year[7] |

Goldman Sachs analyst Jacqueline Du noted that the total addressable market estimate rose to $38 billion by 2035, up more than sixfold from a previous projection of $6 billion, with the unit shipment estimate raised fourfold to 1.4 million.[8] On the pace of adoption, Morgan Stanley's Adam Jonas, Head of Global Autos and Shared Mobility Research, wrote that humanoid "adoption should be relatively slow until the mid-2030s, accelerating in the late 2030s and 2040s."[9] Jonas also cautioned that "while it is too soon to declare a final champion in the race for agentic humanoid robot supremacy, the U.S. will need to make significant changes in manufacturing capability, education and national policies to remain competitive in this area."[9]

## ELI5: what is a humanoid robot manufacturer?

A humanoid robot manufacturer is a company that builds robots shaped like people, with two legs, two arms, and usually a head, so the robot can walk into a factory, a warehouse, or a home and use the same tools and spaces that humans do. Some, like Tesla and Figure, are big or richly funded companies racing to build robots that can work in factories. Others, like 1X, want to sell a robot that helps around the house. Right now most of these companies are in China and the United States, and they are still in the early stages: a few thousand robots are working in real jobs, but companies hope to build millions per year over the next decade.
