#RobotMakerCountryHeightStatusPrice
1Tesla Optimus (Gen 3)TeslaUSA173 cmPre-productionTarget <$30k
Tesla is targeting summer-2026 production at Fremont and has broken ground on a Giga Texas factory with a long-term 10M-units/year goal. Reality check: the 2025 plan called for 5,000 units and delivered only hundreds. The most-watched humanoid, but still pre-revenue. Maker site ↗
2Figure 03Figure AIUSA168 cmCommercial (paid)~$25 / robot-hour
First general-purpose humanoid on a paid commercial contract — an initial fleet of ~40 units at BMW's Spartanburg plant, billed around $25 per robot-operating-hour, with phased expansion through 2026-27. Its predecessor F.02 helped build 30,000+ BMW X3s. Maker site ↗
3Apptronik ApolloApptronikUSA — Austin173 cmCommercial pilots~$80k/yr (2027 target)
Austin-built and one of the most commercially advanced humanoids of 2026: ~73 kg, lifts 25 kg, hot-swappable 4-hour batteries, NVIDIA GR00T AI. Deployed at Mercedes-Benz, GXO Logistics and Jabil; valued near $5.5B with Google and Mercedes backing. Maker site ↗
4Unitree G1UnitreeChina127 cmShippingFrom ~$16k
The world's best-selling humanoid — small (127 cm), agile, and radically cheap, advertised from around $13.5k-$16k. Unitree sold ~5,500 units last year and expects 10,000-20,000 in 2026, driving China's volume lead. Maker site ↗
5Unitree H1UnitreeChina180 cmShipping~$90k+
Full-size sibling of the G1, known for record humanoid sprint speed and dynamic balance. Aimed at research and industrial buyers rather than the mass market. Maker site ↗
61X Neo1XNorway / USA165 cmHome pilotsConsumer (announced)
Purpose-built for the home: lightweight, soft, and quiet by design for safety around people. 1X is running home pilots and taking interest for a consumer launch — the leading bet that the first humanoid in your house won't come from a carmaker. Maker site ↗
7AgiBot A2AgiBot (Zhiyuan)China175 cmMass productionUndisclosed
Unitree's main domestic rival. Together the two are projected to take nearly 80% of China's humanoid shipments in 2026, as national output is forecast to grow 94% year over year. Maker site ↗
8Boston Dynamics Atlas (electric)Boston Dynamics (Hyundai)USA150 cmR&D / pilotsNot for sale
The most athletic humanoid ever demoed, now all-electric. Not sold commercially; being trialed in Hyundai manufacturing. The benchmark for raw mobility while others race to ship. Maker site ↗
