The humanoid
robot field, 2026
Thirty major humanoids, from factory deployments to fresh announcements. Filter the field, sort the economics, and hover over any robot to see the machine behind the numbers.
The thesis
The humanoid race is not one market yet. It is a spectrum from prototypes and reservations to paid deployments.
This snapshot tracks thirty prominent full-size and compact humanoids. “Available” means there is a sales, preorder, reservation, leasing, or paid-deployment channel. “Announced” covers prototypes and pilots without an open commercial path. Prices marked as estimates are targets or third-party reports, not quotes.
The field
Thirty bodies chasing general-purpose work.
Filter by country and availability. Sort by company, country, release, price, or disclosed units. Hover or focus a photo for a larger view.

My synthesis
China is already competing on price and volume.
The table makes the market structure visible. US and European companies cluster around closed industrial pilots and premium systems. Chinese vendors span the whole ladder: low-cost education platforms, research bodies, and factory-scale deployments. The competitive variable is shifting from “can it walk?” to cost, reliability, data, and useful hours per day.
How to read it
Availability is a gradient disguised as a label.
A reservation, a research unit, and a robot working a paid warehouse shift are all called “available” here, but they are not equivalent. The status filter answers whether a commercial path exists; the status note explains how mature that path is.
Unit counts are even less standardized. Some companies disclose model deliveries, others only portfolio totals, pilots, orders, capacity targets, or nothing at all. Unknown values sort last, and portfolio-wide figures carry an asterisk.
Humanoids have moved from demo race to deployment race.
