Everything underneath the guide.
The catalogue only shows what is for sale. This is the whole record: every humanoid we can source back to 1972, the companies, the money, the deployments and the milestones. Sourced line by line, free to download under CC BY 4.0.
109 companies
Every maker we can source, with funding, valuation, headcount and the robots they build.
The Humanoid Index
A different question from the buying score: which machines are actually shipping, working and autonomous. Deployment 50, autonomy 30, availability 20.
The wire
What moved, with a source link on every line and a note on why it matters.
111 milestones
From WABOT-1 in 1972 to this morning. The long view that makes the current wave legible.
$6.5B tracked
69 disclosed rounds, with lead investors and valuations where they were published.
52 deployments
Named customers, sites, tasks and unit counts. The hardest data in the category to get right.
