Humanoid & General-Purpose Robot Makers
Companies building full humanoid, biped, and general-purpose robots, from factory and warehouse workers to research platforms and social robots.
Robot Components
The hardware inside a robot: actuators, gearboxes and motors, dexterous hands and grippers, force-torque and tactile sensors, cameras, lidar, encoders and battery cells.
Robotics Software & AI
Robot foundation models and vision-language-action policies, simulation and synthetic data, perception stacks, fleet management, teleoperation and developer tooling.
Integrators & Deployment
Systems integrators, robots-as-a-service providers and deployment platforms that get robot cells installed, programmed and running on real production lines.
Research Labs
University robotics labs, institutes and national research centers publishing the humanoid, manipulation and locomotion research the industry builds on.
Cobots & Industrial Robots
Collaborative robot arms, industrial manipulators, mobile robots and warehouse automation systems from established and emerging manufacturers.
Home & Consumer Robots
Robots sold to consumers: vacuums and mops, lawn and yard robots, companion and assistive robots, and household helpers.
Editor's picks
Standout robotics companies
ABB Robotics
One of the largest industrial robot suppliers, with articulated, SCARA, delta and collaborative arms plus autonomous mobile robots, controllers and application cells.
Apptronik
Developer of Apollo, a general-purpose humanoid robot aimed at manufacturing and logistics tasks, along with earlier exoskeleton and actuator research. The company works with industrial partners on pilot deployments.
Figure
Builds general-purpose humanoid robots for commercial work and the home, and develops its own vision-language-action model to control them. The company publishes demos of its robots doing logistics and household tasks.
Agility Robotics
Maker of Digit, a two-legged humanoid built for warehouse and logistics work such as moving totes. Agility runs a dedicated humanoid factory in Oregon and sells into industrial deployments.
Sanctuary AI
Canadian company building humanoid robots and the control software behind them, with a focus on dexterous hydraulic hands and teleoperation-to-autonomy pipelines for industrial tasks.
Unitree Robotics
Chinese maker of quadruped robots and the G1 and H1 humanoids, known for selling legged robots at far lower prices than Western competitors. It also sells its own actuators and lidar.
Galbot
Beijing company building wheeled humanoid robots for retail and service work, paired with its own grasping and manipulation models. It operates unmanned stores using its robots.
Boston Dynamics
Long-running robotics company behind the Atlas humanoid, the Spot quadruped and the Stretch box-handling robot. It is owned by Hyundai and sells Spot and Stretch commercially.
Viam
New York company offering a modular robotics platform that handles hardware abstraction, data capture and fleet management so teams can build robots without a custom stack.

The short version
A map of the humanoid supply chain
Humanoid robots went from lab demos to factory pilots in a few years. Behind each headline robot is a chain of actuator makers, hand and sensor suppliers, simulation and control software, and integrators who deploy them.
This directory lists that whole chain by role, from the companies shipping full humanoids to the labs publishing the research they build on. Each entry links to the company's own site and press pages.
Listings are not endorsements, and shipping claims come from the companies themselves. Ask for a demo before you believe a video.
Questions
