|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Figure AI Humanoid robot Humanoid Builds general-purpose humanoid robots aimed at warehouse and manufacturing work, deployed in a pilot with BMW, with its own in-house Helix AI model after ending an earlier partnership with OpenAI. View profile → | San Jose, California, US | 2022 | Brett Adcock | Figure 02, Figure 03 humanoids | ~$1.7-2B raised across three rounds — $70M Series A (2023), $675M Series B (Feb 2024, $2.6B valuation), and $1B+ Series C (Sep 2025, $39B valuation). Figure's own release described cumulative funding as "nearly $2 billion" as of the Series C; the often-cited "$675M raised" figure actually describes only the Series B round, not the company's total. | Microsoft, OpenAI, Nvidia, Intel Capital, Jeff Bezos, Brookfield, Parkway Venture Capital and others |
| 1X Technologies Humanoid robot (home & commercial) Humanoid Develops the NEO humanoid, positioned for home use, alongside the wheeled EVE robot for commercial and security settings; unusually candid that much of NEO's current work still runs through human teleoperators. View profile → | Moss, Norway / Sunnyvale, California, US | 2014 | Bernt Øivind Børnich | NEO (home humanoid), EVE (wheeled, commercial) | ~$123.5M confirmed — $23.5M Series A2 (Mar 2023, $210M valuation) + $100M Series B (Jan 2024).

| Unitree Robotics Humanoid & quadruped robot HumanoidQuadruped Best known for relatively low-cost quadruped "robot dogs," now also selling the G1 humanoid at roughly $16,000 — among the cheapest humanoids on the market. World's top humanoid seller by units in 2025, with its first profitable year. View profile → | Hangzhou, China | 2016 | Wang Xingxing | G1 humanoid, Go2 / B2 quadrupeds | ~$252M raised through Series C (June 2025); cleared final CSRC approval on July 3, 2026 for a Shanghai STAR Market IPO targeting ~$619M — not yet trading | Tencent, Alibaba, Xiaomi, ByteDance and others |
| Boston Dynamics Humanoid & quadruped robot HumanoidQuadruped One of the longest-running legged-robot developers, known for viral demo videos going back to the 2000s DARPA-funded BigDog. Spot is commercially deployed for industrial inspection; the newer, fully electric Atlas is being developed for factory work rather than sold as a research platform. View profile → | Waltham, Massachusetts, US | 1992 | Marc Raibert | Atlas humanoid, Spot quadruped, Stretch warehouse robot | Spun off from MIT in 1992; acquired by Hyundai Motor Group for ~$880M (80% stake, deal closed June 2021) from SoftBank, which retains ~20% | Hyundai Motor Group (80%), SoftBank Group (~20%) |

| Doog Collaborative transport robot AMR / AGV University of Tsukuba-origin startup building "follow-me" collaborative robotic carts (THOUZER series) that assist warehouse and factory workers with material transport, rather than fully autonomous fleet robots. View profile → | Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan | 2012 | Akira Oshima | THOUZER robotic transport cart series | No reliable public funding disclosure found | Not publicly disclosed |
| Mujin Industrial robot-arm automation software Robotic arm Sells software — not its own robot hardware — that lets standard industrial robot arms handle unstructured pick, place, and palletizing tasks as a coordinated fleet, deployed at customers including Toyota and Fast Retailing (Uniqlo). A later-stage leader in this space rather than an early-stage peer. View profile → | Tokyo, Japan | 2011 | Issei Takino, Rosen Diankov | MujinController / MujinOS (industrial robot-arm automation software) | ~$411M raised total, including a $233M Series D initial close (Dec 2025) co-led by NTT Group and Qatar Investment Authority; valued above $1B and reportedly eyeing a 2030 IPO | NTT Group, Qatar Investment Authority, Mitsubishi HC Capital Realty, Salesforce Ventures and others |

| DJI Consumer & commercial drones Drone / UAV The dominant global consumer-drone maker since the 2013 Phantom launch, holding roughly 70% global civilian unit-sales share in 2025 — though the FCC added it to its Covered List in December 2025, barring new DJI models from the US market on national-security grounds. View profile → | Shenzhen, China | 2006 | Frank Wang (Wang Tao) | Phantom, Mavic, and Air consumer drone lines; Matrice enterprise/industrial drones | ~$1.1B raised across roughly 7 rounds (aggregator estimates vary, $605M-$1.14B depending on source), including a $75M round (2015, Accel/Sequoia Capital China, ~$10B valuation) and a $1B round (2018) — largely self-funded through profits since | Accel, Sequoia Capital China and others |
| Anduril Industries Defense drones & autonomous systems Drone / UAV Builds defense drones and autonomous systems sold through large government contracts rather than individual unit sales — including a 10-year, up-to-$20B US Army enterprise framework (March 2026) — a contract-concentrated revenue model unlike DJI's civilian-market business.

| AgileX Robotics Mobile robot platforms & robotic arms (AMR/UGV) AMR / AGVRobotic arm A Dongguan-based maker of ROS-compatible mobile-robot chassis and robotic arms sold as research/development platforms to universities and enterprise R&D teams rather than as finished end-user products. Its Tracer chassis underpins Stanford's open-source Mobile ALOHA manipulation-research project, later productized by AgileX itself as Cobot Magic. Not to be confused with the much larger, similarly named Agile Robots SE. View profile → | Dongguan, China (Shenzhen office also listed) | 2016 | Wei Jidong, Jiang Yixuan | Scout / Scout Mini, Hunter SE, Ranger / Ranger Mini, Bunker UGV chassis; LIMO education robot; PiPER / NERO robotic arms; Cobot Magic dual-arm platform; PIKA teleoperation kit | ~$15.5M Series A (Jul 2021, RMB 100M) led by Sequoia Capital China (now HongShan) and 5Y Capital, with Vertex Ventures China and Hong Kong X Technology Fund; preceded by a 2017 angel round (RMB 4M) from Legend Star.

| Atoms Industrial automation (food, mining, transport) AMR / AGVWarehouse & logistics automation The renamed City Storage Systems, Travis Kalanick's holding company, which spent eight years in stealth building delivery-kitchen real estate before opening up in March 2026 as an industrial robotics group organized into Atoms Food, Atoms Mining and Atoms Transport. Its stated thesis is specialized "gainfully employed robots" for high-cycle industrial work rather than general-purpose humanoids. Food is the operating business; mining, built on the acquired Pronto, is the newer bet Kalanick himself describes mine operators as answering with "prove it." View profile → | Los Angeles, California, US | 2018 | Travis Kalanick | CloudKitchens delivery-kitchen facilities, Otter restaurant OS, Lab37 Bowl Builder kitchen robot, Picnic workplace meal delivery, ProFood Properties, Pronto autonomous haulage for mines and quarries | $1.7B equity round announced July 2026, led by a16z, plus undisclosed debt facilities from Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo, JPMorgan and Barclays. Post-money valuation was not disclosed. Earlier rounds raised under the CloudKitchens name total at least $1.25B — a reported $400M from Saudi Arabia's PIF in 2019 and $850M completed in 2021 at a reported $15B valuation. | a16z (lead, Ben Horowitz on the board), Uber, Bain Capital, Fifth Wall, Chemistry, A*, K5 Global, Abstract, SV Angel, Alpha Square Group; Saudi PIF and Microsoft invested in the CloudKitchens era |
