# Humanoid robot stocks: which of the 108 makers are actually listed > Twenty of the 108 makers in our record have a ticker. Four of them will sell you a humanoid. The rest build cars, chips, servers and washing machines, and the pure plays are all private.

Sixteen of those are car makers, conglomerates or big tech companies for which a humanoid is one programme among many. Four are robotics firms, and only those four will sell you a humanoid today. None of this is investment advice. It is a count, made from our data as of 4 September 2026. ## Twenty tickers, mostly in Hong Kong and Tokyo The 20 split into 6 automakers, 5 conglomerates, 5 big tech companies and 4 robotics firms. By country: 7 Chinese, 5 Japanese, 3 Korean, 2 American, one each from Taiwan, Britain and Sweden. Hong Kong has 7 of the tickers, Tokyo 5. Only 3 are on Nasdaq in the United States ([Nvidia](/companies/nvidia/), [Tesla](/companies/tesla/) and Alphabet via [Google DeepMind](/companies/google-deepmind/)); the 4 NYSE names (Honda, Sony, Toyota, Xpeng) each also have an Asian ticker. ## The list | Company | Exchange, ticker | Country | Humanoid status in our record | |---|---|---|---| | [Chery](/companies/chery/) | HKEX: 9973 | CN | [Mornine](/robots/chery-mornine/) dealership greeter, enterprise only | | [Dobot](/companies/dobot/) | HKEX: 2432 | CN | [Atom](/robots/dobot-atom/) on preorder, $27,500 | | [Foxconn](/companies/foxconn/) | TWSE: 2317 | TW | No humanoid of its own on file; UBTech customer | | [GAC Group](/companies/gac/) | SSE: 601238, HKEX: 2238 | CN | GoMate prototype, not for sale | | [Google DeepMind](/companies/google-deepmind/) | NASDAQ: GOOGL | GB | Gemini Robotics models, no robot | | [Hexagon](/companies/hexagon/) | Nasdaq Stockholm: HEXA B | SE | [AEON](/robots/hexagon-aeon/) in pilots, enterprise only | | [Hitachi](/companies/hitachi/) | TYO: 6501 | JP | EMIEW, discontinued | | [Honda](/companies/honda/) | TYO: 7267, NYSE: HMC | JP | [ASIMO](/robots/asimo/) retired, programme ended 2018 | | [Kawasaki](/companies/kawasaki/) | TYO: 7012 | JP | Kaleido prototype, not for sale | | [Midea](/companies/midea/) | SZSE: 000333, HKEX: 0300 | CN | [Own humanoid](/robots/midea-humanoid/) in own plant, not for sale | | [Nvidia](/companies/nvidia/) | NASDAQ: NVDA | US | Supplier of models and compute, no robot | | [Rainbow Robotics](/companies/rainbow-robotics/) | KOSDAQ: 277810 | KR | [RB-Y1](/robots/rainbow-rb-y1/) wheeled platform, in stock, price unverified | | [Robotis](/companies/robotis/) | KOSDAQ: 108490 | KR | [OP3](/robots/robotis-op3/) and [MINI](/robots/robotis-mini/) in stock, 51 cm and 27 cm | | [Samsung](/companies/samsung/) | KRX: 005930 | KR | No humanoid of its own; controls Rainbow Robotics | | [Sony](/companies/sony/) | TYO: 6758, NYSE: SONY | JP | QRIO, cancelled 2006 | | [Tesla](/companies/tesla/) | NASDAQ: TSLA | US | [Optimus Gen 2](/robots/tesla-optimus-gen-2/) in own plants, [V3](/robots/tesla-optimus-v3/) prototype, not for sale | | [Toyota](/companies/toyota/) | TYO: 7203, NYSE: TM | JP | T-HR3 and Punyo, research only | | [UBTech](/companies/ubtech/) | HKEX: 9880 | CN | [Walker S2](/robots/ubtech-walker-s2/) enterprise only; [Alpha](/robots/ubtech-alpha/) and [Tien Kung Xingzhe](/robots/tien-kung-xingzhe/) in stock | | [Xiaomi](/companies/xiaomi/) | HKEX: 1810 | CN | CyberOne, research, no product | | [Xpeng](/companies/xpeng/) | NYSE: XPEV, HKEX: 9868 | CN | [Iron](/robots/xpeng-iron/) prototype, mass production targeted end of 2026 | ## Four of the twenty will sell you one Join the companies to the robots and the picture thins out. The 20 account for 37 of the 182 machines in our record. Seven are discontinued, 18 are not for sale, 6 are enterprise only. Six can be ordered, and those six are the entire listed share of the 44 buyable humanoids on our homepage. The other 38 come from private makers. Three of the six are small: the [UBTech Alpha](/robots/ubtech-alpha/) at 40 cm and $499, the [ROBOTIS MINI](/robots/robotis-mini/) at 27 cm and $539, the 51 cm [ROBOTIS OP3](/robots/robotis-op3/). The [Rainbow RB-Y1](/robots/rainbow-rb-y1/) is a wheeled two-armed research platform, sold since 2024 with a teleoperation rig and no verified public price. That leaves two full-size bipeds: [Dobot Atom](/robots/dobot-atom/), 153 cm, on preorder at CNY 199,000 (about $27,500), teleoperation partial in our record, and [Tien Kung Xingzhe](/robots/tien-kung-xingzhe/), a 170 cm research humanoid UBTech co-developed with Beijing's X-Humanoid centre. Two more listed companies have customers but no order form: [Chery](/companies/chery/) puts [Mornine](/robots/chery-mornine/) in its own dealerships in China and Malaysia, and [Hexagon](/companies/hexagon/) announced [AEON](/robots/hexagon-aeon/) pilots with Schaeffler and Pilatus on 17 June 2025. The strongest record is [UBTech's Walker S2](/robots/ubtech-walker-s2/): named customers BYD, Foxconn and Zeekr, a reported order book above CNY 800 million, a reported $68,000 price and a lease at about $5,000 a month. Its teleoperation field also reads partial. Seven listed makers have a humanoid in prototype, pilot or research and nothing you can buy: GAC, Kawasaki, Midea, Tesla, Toyota, Xiaomi and Xpeng. [Optimus Gen 2](/robots/tesla-optimus-gen-2/) works in small numbers inside Tesla's own plants, and the units shown at We Robot on 10 October 2024 were remotely assisted, as Tesla staff confirmed. Three names (Hitachi, Honda, Sony) are here only for programmes they ended. Four (Foxconn, Google DeepMind, Nvidia, Samsung) have no humanoid of their own on file. ## The pure plays are private Of the 60 companies we classify as startups, 56 have no ticker. Thirteen of those disclose round sizes in our funding records; the disclosed sum is $4.03 billion. [Figure AI](/companies/figure-ai/) alone accounts for $1.75 billion, at a $39 billion post-money valuation on 16 September 2025. [Agility Robotics](/companies/agility-robotics/) has $570 million on file, [Apptronik](/companies/apptronik/) $403 million. [Boston Dynamics](/companies/boston-dynamics/) is 80 percent owned by Hyundai Motor Group. For scale, UBTech's Hong Kong IPO on 29 December 2023 raised about $130 million. Two Chinese pure plays are moving towards the market. [Unitree](/companies/unitree/) completed pre-IPO tutoring on 18 July 2025 and filed for Shanghai's STAR Market in November 2025. [AgiBot](/companies/agibot/) agreed in July 2025 to buy 63.6 percent of Shanghai-listed Swancor Advanced Materials for about $293 million, widely read as a route to a listing. Neither carries a ticker in our record yet. ## What "humanoid exposure" means in each case Before calling a listed company a humanoid company, ask what would change for it if the humanoid programme stopped tomorrow. [Nvidia](/companies/nvidia/) sells GR00T models and a $3,499 Jetson Thor developer kit to almost everyone else and invests in Figure: exposure to the whole field, not to one body. [Foxconn](/companies/foxconn/) is a customer and a factory. [Samsung](/companies/samsung/) owns 35 percent of Rainbow Robotics and has shown no humanoid of its own. The automakers run their robots on their own lines and in their own showrooms. Only [UBTech](/companies/ubtech/), and to a lesser degree [Dobot](/companies/dobot/), sells humanoids to strangers at a price, and both sell other things too. Buying any of the 20 buys a company that does something else. The companies that do nothing but humanoids are, for now, not for sale either. ## Sources - [UBTech Robotics](https://www.ubtrobot.com), UBTech - [Figure AI valued at $39 billion in latest funding round](https://www.reuters.com/business/figure-ai-valued-39-billion-latest-funding-round-2025-09-16/), Reuters - [Unitree](https://www.unitree.com/), Unitree - [AgiBot](https://www.agibot.com), AgiBot - [Samsung Newsroom](https://news.samsung.com/global/), Samsung - [Isaac GR00T](https://developer.nvidia.com/isaac/gr00t), Nvidia - [Hexagon Robotics](https://hexagon.com/company/divisions/robotics), Hexagon - [Dobot](https://www.dobot-robots.com), Dobot - [Tesla AI](https://www.tesla.com/AI), Tesla
