A guide to companies building robots and the software that helps them act in the physical world. This census maps 2,538 companies across 24 use-case types, including what they build, where they are based, and the funding they have disclosed.
Here, “physical AI” means AI used to perceive and act in the physical world, including robotics and autonomous vehicles. This is a best-effort census, not a complete registry: smaller, regional, and stealth firms are undercounted, and most companies do not disclose funding. Treat the patterns as directional. Companies are counted once in the charts, under their most specialized use case; hover to see other use cases. New to robot AI? Start with the primer.
Each tile is a company, grouped by its main use case. By default, tile size represents the company's disclosed funding; switch to company count to compare how many companies work in each area. The funding view is led by humanoids, robotaxis and autonomous vehicles, and defense robotics. The count view shows a broader base of industrial arms, warehouse robots, inspection systems, drones, and agricultural and field robots.
This chart sums each company's disclosed funding by use case. Humanoids, robotaxis and autonomous vehicles, and surgical robotics lead, but the totals are incomplete because many companies do not disclose funding.
Sum of disclosed funding per use case ($M). Only ~40% of companies disclose funding, so bars understate true capital.
The most-capitalized companies in the field — robotaxi/AV operators, humanoid labs, and defense-autonomy firms dominate the top of the table.
Top companies by money raised ($M, log scale), colored by HQ region.
Annual funding totals show a $31B peak in 2021, a slowdown in 2022–23, and a sharp increase in 2026. The dataset records about $61B through September 8, led by a small number of large rounds, including Anduril ($5B), Helsing ($1.8B), NEURA (up to $1.4B), Hadrian ($1.37B), Quantum Systems ($1.2B), and XPeng Robotics (more than $900M). Unitree raised about $900M in its August IPO; Agility announced a proposed $2.5B SPAC merger. These are different kinds of transactions, and the Agility merger had not closed by September 8. The 2026 total is partial and based on announced rounds, so it is not directly comparable with full-year totals.
Annual disclosed capital deployed, reconstructed from ~1,070 companies’ dated funding rounds (~$196.6B across all years). Mega-rounds (≥$100M) now make up ~80–96% of dollars. 2026 is a partial year through September 8, 2026, and its figures are reconstructed from announced rounds (some large ones, e.g. NEURA's "up to $1.4B", are milestone-gated or upsized commitments; announced-but-unclosed SPAC proceeds are excluded), so it is not directly comparable to prior full years. Undated or undisclosed rounds are excluded.
These job postings were collected from company hiring boards in May 2026 and were not refreshed for this September edition. In that snapshot, defense, drone, and autonomous-vehicle companies had the most openings, led by Anduril (more than 1,500), Waymo, Shield AI, and Zoox. This chart is a dated snapshot, not a live measure of hiring or a complete labor-market survey.
Open roles (distinct, deduped by title) from 155 companies with a public Greenhouse / Lever / Ashby job board, pulled May 2026 — this skews to funded, US, and defense/AV firms and covers only a slice of all companies; it is not a hiring census, and a blank is “unknown,” not zero.
A young, fast-forming industry: most of today's robotics companies were founded in the last decade, accelerating into the 2020s as learning-based control and cheap compute lowered the barrier to building a capable robot.
Companies by founding year (where known, 1990–2026).
A tri-pole — the US, China, and Europe — with a dense second tier in Korea, Japan, and Israel. Hover any country for its company count and disclosed capital.
Unique companies by HQ country. Country-level, not pin-level; some countries unmatched by the map renderer are omitted.
The robotics industry has split into three unequal zones of gravity — China, the US, and Europe — with Korea, Japan, and Israel forming a capable second tier. That split runs deeper than trade policy: it reflects where each bloc actually controls the stack, from raw materials to software to end-market access. Since May, the split has hardened into open industrial policy on all three sides.
China dominates hardware volume — now overwhelmingly. China installed roughly 295,000 industrial robots in 2024 (54% of the global total), and IFR's preliminary 2025 figures put its installs near 380,000 — about ten times the US. In humanoids the lead has become near-total: Chinese vendors shipped >97% of the ~19,100 humanoids delivered globally in H1 2026 (+274% YoY; Smart Analytics Global's strict methodology — Chinese industry reports claiming 40,000+ units count a broader "embodied robot" category). UBTech's H1 2026 results give the volume a revenue line: ¥1.27B (+104% YoY), 921 full-size humanoids sold into auto and electronics plants. More than 140 Chinese humanoid makers compete domestically, with per-unit costs roughly one-third to one-half of Western equivalents; the moat is the vertically integrated EV-bred supply chain in the Yangtze River Delta. And the sector now has public-market proof: Unitree's August 19 STAR Market IPO raised ~$900M, opened +629% and closed its first day up ~460–487%, with AgiBot, EngineAI, Leju, DEEP Robotics and ~40 more in listing processes.
The US is a major center for robotics software, foundation models, and defense autonomy. Boston Dynamics is based in the US but owned by South Korea's Hyundai Motor Group; it is working with Google DeepMind on robot foundation models. Figure AI has robots in production work at BMW, and NVIDIA supplies models and software tools for robotics. These examples point to US strength in software and AI development, alongside China's lead in hardware volume. On the defense side, Anduril's $5B round at a $61B valuation (May) and Helsing's $1.8B round at $18B (July) were two of the summer's largest defense-technology investments. In July, Saronic Corsair unmanned surface vessels struck Iran's Bandar Abbas naval base, the first combat use of such vessels by US forces. Ghost Robotics' Vision 60 quadruped is used for perimeter missions by the US Air Force and Marine Corps.
Europe has a strong industrial robotics base; ABB is being sold to SoftBank. ABB Robotics (Västerås/Zurich, about $3.2B in robotics revenue) is one of the world's largest industrial robot makers. The sale to SoftBank for $5.375B received EU clearance in March 2026, but had not closed as of September. SoftBank has also been reported to be in talks for a majority stake in 1X, though that report is unconfirmed. European humanoid firms are raising larger rounds: NEURA announced a Series C of up to $1.4B (June), and UK-based Humanoid raised $152M in a Series A (July). Munich-based Helsing and Quantum Systems also raised two of the window's largest robotics rounds. KUKA, owned by China's Midea since 2016, remains a major German industrial robot maker. Europe has deep engineering expertise, though it produces fewer robots than China.
Second tier: Korea, Japan, Israel. South Korea holds the world's highest robot density — 1,220 robots per 10,000 employees — and its humanoid race has become a three-way chaebol war: Hyundai took 100% ownership of Boston Dynamics (July 2026, buying out SoftBank's remaining ~10%), Samsung was revealed running an in-house humanoid program reporting directly to its CEO, LG locked in an NVIDIA GR00T-powered biped for early 2027, and Seoul committed ₩2.3 trillion to humanoids through 2030. Japan (FANUC, Yaskawa, Kawasaki) remains the second-largest installation market, with robot orders at record highs (+40% YoY); METI stood up an AI Robotics Strategy in FY2026 (~¥90B/yr for assistive-robot manufacturing), and Mitsubishi Motors signed an MOU with U-Tokyo startup Highlanders to build humanoids at its Kyoto plant — targeting 1,000 units/month from as early as 2027. Israel punches well above its size in defense robotics: Elbit Systems acquired autonomous off-road vehicle developer Blue White Robotics in May 2026, and its order backlog hit a record $32 billion by Q2 2026.
A fourth market is quietly forming: India. It doesn't yet have the top-line consolidation moves of the other three, but the base is real — the directory below counts 94 India-headquartered companies, more than Israel or the UK — and early-stage capital is moving: Indian robotics and humanoid startups raised over $45M in H1 2026, up roughly 120% YoY, including Indigo Robotics' $15M Series A and a combined $15M seed round for BharatBotics/RoboInd. Policy is still mostly aspirational — the Draft National Strategy on Robotics proposes a "National Robotics Mission" run through a new Robotics Innovation Unit under IndiaAI, targeting manufacturing, agriculture, healthcare and defense as priority sectors on a path to 2030 — but as of September 2026 it remains a draft, not enacted policy, unlike China's now-mandatory GB 44721 baseline or the US's live FCC action.
The supply-chain chokepoint: rare-earth magnets. Neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) magnets are inside almost every servo motor and actuator in a robot. China controls the overwhelming majority of global rare-earth processing, and in April 2025 Beijing imposed a licensing regime covering seven heavy rare earths — including dysprosium and terbium, critical for high-temperature-stable magnets — on dual-use grounds. Those controls remain fully active as of September 2026, and Beijing is now deliberately fusing the magnet monopoly with humanoid manufacturing, aligning rare-earth producers with robot makers as industrial strategy. A typical industrial robot servo motor uses 300–500 g of rare-earth-doped magnets; a humanoid uses multiples of that across its joints. A second tranche of controls announced in October 2025 — which would have required licenses for components made anywhere using Chinese rare-earth technology — is suspended until November 2026, but the architecture is in place.
US rules now affect access to the robotics market. On July 28, 2026, the US FCC expanded its Covered List to foreign-produced "advanced robotic devices" — networked humanoids, quadrupeds and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) — blocking new models from FCC equipment authorization regardless of country of origin, effectively barring new foreign-made robots (and even robot vacuums) from the US market; existing models are grandfathered and a Defense Department conditional-approval path exists. The House-passed FY2027 NDAA folds in language from the American Security Robotics Act and the Humanoid ROBOT Act permanently banning federal procurement of adversary-linked humanoids and quadrupeds (standalone bills remain in committee; the Senate has not voted), and the GUARD Act got a House hearing in July. A Chinese vendor faces the mirror image: dominant cost position at home and in the Global South, plus a new mandatory national safety baseline (GB 44721—2026 for Level 3/Level 4 automated driving, effective July 2027, alongside a draft 100-standards-by-2028 humanoid standards system) that couples aggressive deployment targets with binding governance. As the geography chart above shows, company formation is still concentrated in the US and China — a distribution that mirrors these structural advantages.

The Robot Report's shorthand for 2026 is "less dancing, more doing." The honest picture is a split: a handful of robot categories are genuinely deployed at scale and earning revenue, while humanoids — however much airtime they get — are only now graduating from demos to contracted work, mostly still in single-site or small-fleet form. Conflating the two halves distorts the field.
Genuinely at scale. Amazon crossed one million warehouse robots in mid-2025 across more than 300 fulfillment centers globally — a fleet that now approaches its 1.5-million-person headcount in raw unit count — and in June committed >€10B to robotize its European fulfillment network (next-gen Proteus, Vulcan, and the new STARK tote robot). That scale is now visible at the facility level: Amazon filed a WARN notice in July for 494 layoffs — more than half the roughly 850-person workforce — at its Port St. Lucie, Florida fulfillment center ahead of a $200M robotics and automated-conveyor retrofit, the clearest single data point yet in the debate over whether warehouse automation is now net-displacing labor rather than just augmenting it, as unions grow more vocal about the trend. Waymo is running roughly 500,000 paid robotaxi rides per week across 14 US cities (four announced in a single day in July; Denver, San Diego, and Tampa opened September 1, with Chinese-built Zeekr robotaxis now carrying passengers), targeting one million weekly rides by year-end. Zoox began paid driverless service in Las Vegas on August 10 under NHTSA's first exemption for a purpose-built, no-steering-wheel robotaxi, and Tesla opened paid Cybercab rides in Austin on September 4. Zipline has surpassed 2.5 million commercial deliveries, launched US healthcare home delivery with Cleveland Clinic, and signed an Uber Eats partnership targeting one million drone deliveries a day by 2029. Brain Corp's BrainOS platform powers an estimated 35,000–40,000 autonomous floor-scrubbing robots. Locus Robotics passed 7 billion cumulative picks in March (across 350+ sites; DHL alone has crossed one billion), and Symbotic turned durably GAAP-profitable — back-to-back profitable quarters on ~$700M quarterly revenue, with a $22.5B contracted backlog and 77 systems in deployment. In surgery, Intuitive's da Vinci 5 installed base passed 1,400 systems within two years of launch — 246 of Q2 2026's 468 da Vinci placements were dV5 — and its Force Feedback instruments received a European CE mark on September 8. In autonomous trucking, Aurora passed ~440,000 driverless miles with its 2026 capacity fully contracted.
Real commercial deployments, not yet at scale. The summer's biggest shift: the humanoid pilot tier started producing booked revenue. Agility Robotics' Digit crossed 100,000 totes moved at GXO and now works across nine customer sites (GXO, Schaeffler, Toyota Canada, Mercado Libre), with >$300M in contracted orders for the next-gen Digit v5 — enough to anchor a $2.5B SPAC listing announced June 24. Figure AI's Figure 03 graduated to multi-station parts-sequencing work at BMW Spartanburg (robots have now touched 30,000+ vehicles there), a Leipzig pilot became BMW's first European humanoid site (BMW is also piloting Hexagon's wheeled AEON there), and Figure proved it can build at tempo: ~1 robot/hour at BotQ, its 1,000th Figure 03 in July, and a ~200-hour autonomous package-sorting livestream. UBTech sold 921 full-size humanoids in H1 2026 across six Chinese auto plants. And legs are no longer mandatory: Apptronik's Apollo 2 ships in a wheeled variant and BMW's second pilot robot (AEON) is wheeled — factory-floor legitimacy for the wheeled humanoid.
Still largely in the lab or in pilots. Most US humanoid deployments in 2026 involve one to ten units operating in controlled or semi-controlled conditions. Gartner (January 2026) predicted fewer than 20 companies will achieve genuine production-scale humanoid deployment in manufacturing or supply chain by 2028. The window's biggest slip is Tesla: Optimus V3 remains unrevealed, Q2 earnings reframed the first production units as "Optimus Academy" data collectors rather than workers, and meaningful volume was pushed toward 2027. 1X opened a 58,000 sq ft NEO factory in Hayward, California (April), but independently verified NEO home deliveries were still absent as of September, and its reported $1B raise at a $10B+ valuation was never confirmed closed. Hyundai's 2026 Atlas output is entirely pre-allocated to its own RMAC "data factory" and Google DeepMind — and its plan to deploy 25,000 Atlases triggered the Ulsan strike in July, the auto industry's first stoppage explicitly over humanoid robots, with workers demanding approval rights before deployment. Labor is now a first-order deployment variable. The bottlenecks are familiar: dexterous manipulation in unstructured environments, battery runtime, and — most critically — writing robust policies for every new task in every new environment.
What "scale" actually means here. For mobile logistics robots, scale is tens of thousands of units. For autonomous vehicles, it is hundreds of vehicles and half a million rides per week. For humanoids, "scale" in September 2026 means ~19,000 units shipped globally in a half-year (~97% of them Chinese), a few Western fleets in the tens of units, and the first contracted order books in the hundreds of millions of dollars. The categories are on entirely different adoption curves, and the gap matters for anyone trying to assess where robotic deployment actually stands.

A defining technical fact about robots: the fast control loop almost always runs on the robot (a dropped packet at 200 Hz is a fall or a crash). The heavier "thinking" — planning, perception reasoning — runs onboard, in a hybrid edge/cloud split, or (rarely, for latency-tolerant work) in the cloud. Training almost always happens in the cloud. This chart shows where each robot type's thinking layer sits today.
Bubble = a use case; x = where its thinking layer runs; size = # companies; color = placement (red onboard · amber hybrid · green cloud).
Modern robots are less hand-coded and more trained, the way a chatbot is trained. Instead of an engineer writing rules for every situation, a robot watches examples or practices a task and learns a "policy" — a function that turns what it sees into what it does. This section explains the handful of ideas you'll meet repeatedly in the rest of the report.
Three places the AI runs. It helps to picture three layers, each working at a different speed. (1) Fast control on the robot — a tight loop running hundreds to a thousand times a second that keeps the machine balanced and its joints tracking targets; this is reflex-speed and runs on a chip onboard. (2) The "thinking layer" — a slower model, often running a few to a few dozen times a second, that looks at the cameras, reads the instruction ("put the cup in the sink"), and decides what to do next. (3) Training in the cloud — the heavy, offline work of learning from large datasets on big GPU clusters; the result is shipped down to the robot. Figure's Helix (Feb 2025) made this split explicit with a "System 2" reasoning model at ~7–9 Hz feeding a "System 1" motor controller at 200 Hz; NVIDIA's GR00T N1 (Mar 2025) adopted the same two-system design.
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models. The headline idea of the current era. A VLA takes in camera images plus a text instruction and directly outputs robot actions — it fuses "what a vision-language model knows about the world" with "how to move." Notable examples: RT-2 (Google, 2023), the open-source OpenVLA (2024, 7B parameters), and Physical Intelligence's π0 line (late 2024), whose π0.7 (Apr 2026) is "steerable" — you can condition it with language subtasks, control modes, or visual subgoals. The pitch is generalization: because the model inherits web-scale knowledge from its language backbone, it can attempt objects and instructions it never saw in robot data. The frontier has since widened in two directions: whole-body control — Google DeepMind's Gemini Robotics 2 (Jul 2026) drives a humanoid "feet to fingertips," and Figure's Helix grew from a tabletop manipulation model into a whole-body controller (its S0 stage walks and manipulates at once, trained entirely in simulation) — and in-context learning: Skild AI's S1 (Aug 2026) is built from the ground up as an in-context learner — show it a single video demonstration and it attempts the unseen task, up to ~10 minutes long, with no fine-tuning — and Generalist's GEN-1.5 (Aug 2026) can pick up a new physical task from a single prompt-like demonstration (~59% one-shot success, ~83% after a few minutes of practice), an early "GPT-3 moment" for physical skills.
Imitation learning vs. reinforcement learning. These are the two main ways a policy is taught. In imitation learning (also "behavioral cloning"), the robot learns by copying human demonstrations — you show it the task many times and it learns to reproduce the motions. It is the dominant method for manipulation today because it's data-efficient and stable, but the robot is only as good as the demos. In reinforcement learning (RL), the robot practices by trial and error, getting a reward signal for success; it can discover better-than-human strategies but needs huge numbers of attempts, so it's mostly done in simulation (common for legged locomotion and balance).
Teleoperation is how most imitation-learning data gets made: a person remotely puppeteers the robot — moving its arms or wearing a control rig — while every camera frame and joint position is recorded. Each run is one "demonstration." Stanford's low-cost ALOHA and Mobile ALOHA rigs popularized this, and the open-source LeRobot library (Hugging Face) standardized the collect-train-deploy loop on cheap hardware.
Action chunking is a trick that made imitation learning work far better. Rather than predicting one tiny next move at a time (which lets small errors snowball), the model predicts a short chunk of future actions at once — typically dozens of steps. Introduced with ACT (Action Chunking with Transformers, the ALOHA paper) and now used almost everywhere, including in π0 and OpenVLA.
Diffusion policy & flow matching. Two closely related techniques for generating those action chunks smoothly. Diffusion policy borrows the math behind AI image generators: it starts with random noise and "denoises" it step by step into a clean sequence of motions, which is good at handling tasks that have several valid ways to do them. Flow matching is a newer, faster cousin that learns a more direct path from noise to action; π0 uses it to output smooth trajectories at 50 Hz.
Sim-to-real means training in a physics simulator — where you can run millions of cheap, safe attempts — and then transferring the learned skill to a physical robot. The catch is the "reality gap": simulators are never quite right, so skills can break in the real world. Techniques like randomizing the simulation and, increasingly, generative world models aim to close that gap. NVIDIA's Cosmos world foundation models (announced CES 2025, updated through 2025) and the Isaac Sim/Omniverse stack are the most visible examples.
World models are AI systems that learn to predict what happens next in the physical world — essentially a learned simulator or "imagination." A robot (or a training pipeline) can roll the world forward in its head to plan, generate synthetic training data, or test a plan before acting. What changed in 2026: world models fused with VLAs into a recognized category — the world-action model, which jointly predicts future video and the actions that produce it. NVIDIA's Cosmos 3 "omnimodel" and GR00T N2 (both announced 2026, built on the DreamZero research line) are the flagship examples, and they briefly sat atop the RoboArena benchmark.
"End-to-end" and "foundation model," for robots. End-to-end means a single learned model goes straight from raw sensors (pixels) to motor commands, with no hand-built pipeline of separate perception, planning, and control modules in between. A foundation model for robots is one large model pretrained on broad, diverse data (many tasks, many robot types) that can then be fine-tuned for specific jobs — the same idea as a foundation model in language, applied to physical action. VLAs like π0 and GR00T are the leading attempts at robot foundation models.
Concepts and examples verified via project/model pages and papers (May–Sep 2026): Physical Intelligence (π0/π0.5/π0.7, arXiv:2604.15483), Figure (Helix / Helix S0), NVIDIA (GR00T N1/N1.7, GR00T N2, Cosmos / Cosmos 3, Isaac Sim), Google DeepMind (Gemini Robotics 2, Jul 30, 2026), Generalist AI (GEN-1.5, Aug 19, 2026), Skild AI (S1, Aug 2026), OpenVLA, RT-2, ALOHA/ACT, and Hugging Face LeRobot. Hz figures and parameter counts are as stated by their sources; some are approximate.
Modern robot learning moved fast, and most of the ideas behind today's systems landed in a tight five-year window. The throughline: borrow the recipe that worked for language and vision models — pretrain a big model on lots of data, then adapt it — and apply it to actions. The result is the "vision-language-action" (VLA) model: feed in camera images plus a plain-language instruction, get out motor commands. The table below traces the milestones that got the field here. Dates are the public release or paper date.
| Year | Milestone | Why it mattered |
|---|---|---|
| 2022 | Google RT-1 (Robotics Transformer 1) | Showed a single transformer trained on ~130k real robot demos could do 700+ tasks — early proof that one model could absorb large, diverse robot data. |
| 2023 | Diffusion Policy (RSS 2023) | Used a diffusion model to generate action sequences, handling the "many valid ways to move" problem cleanly. Became a default building block for imitation learning. |

| 2025 (Mar) | NVIDIA Isaac GR00T N1 and Google DeepMind Gemini Robotics | GR00T N1 shipped as the first open humanoid foundation model; Gemini Robotics extended a frontier VLM (Gemini 2.0) with action output and strong generalization. Foundation models for robots went mainstream. |
| 2025 (Apr) | Physical Intelligence π0.5 | Focused on open-world generalization — e.g. tidying a kitchen it had never seen — rather than just new skills, pushing on robustness to novel environments. |
| 2025 (May) | NVIDIA GR00T N1.5 | First update to GR00T (upgraded vision-language backbone, better grounding); built largely from synthetic data, underscoring the sim-data-heavy training trend. |
| 2025 (Jun) | Hugging Face SmolVLA | A 450M-param VLA trained on open community data that runs on consumer hardware — pushing capable robot learning toward cheap, accessible deployment. |
| 2025 | Humanoid production pilots (Figure at BMW) | Figure's 02 robots completed an 11-month run on a BMW Spartanburg line (90,000+ parts), giving the field hard, real-world performance data instead of staged clips. |
| 2025 (Sep–Nov) | RL post-training arrives: DeepMind "Self-Improving Embodied Foundation Models" (Sep); Physical Intelligence π*0.6 / RECAP (Nov) | Added a reinforcement-learning stage on top of imitation pretraining — letting robots improve from their own successes and failures, mirroring how LLMs are tuned. RECAP roughly doubled throughput on hard tasks. |
| 2025–2026 | Open RL tooling matures (e.g. RL fine-tuning support for π0/π0.5 and GR00T-N1.5 via openpi and community frameworks) | The SFT-then-RL recipe started becoming a standard, reusable workflow rather than a one-off research result. |

Read top to bottom, the pattern is clear: 2022–2023 proved big models could learn robot actions; 2024 made the data and base models open; 2025 turned them into shipped foundation models and first real deployments; and 2026 added reinforcement learning on top — then, in a single summer, the field's first public listings (Unitree, Agility), its first regulator-restricted trade status (FCC), and its biggest consolidation (NVIDIA–Hugging Face, SoftBank–ABB Robotics).

The flagship 2026 outlooks and the summer's releases agree on the live frontier. The headline from May still holds — the hard problem has moved from the robot's body to its brain — but the brain itself has moved: from tabletop manipulation models toward whole-body control, world-action models, and robots that learn new physical tasks in context. A few directions recur across every source:
Whole-body loco-manipulation is the new frontier. In May, vision-language-action (VLA) models were largely tabletop and upper-body. Google DeepMind's Gemini Robotics 2 (Jul 30) now controls a humanoid "feet to fingertips" — walking, crouching and manipulating with one model — and Figure's Helix S0 does sim-trained whole-body control, transferring zero-shot to real stair traversal. The Gemini release is a suite: ER 2 runs the embodied-reasoning layer (multi-minute, multi-robot tasks, in public preview), and On-Device 2 is an edge variant that adapts to a new dual-arm body in a few hours from under 200 examples. Apptronik's Apollo 2 has become the reference third-party platform. "Whole-body" is no longer a research niche.
In-context, few-shot physical learning emerged. Generalist's GEN-1.5 (Aug 19) demonstrated "physical prompting": a new task from a single demonstration (59% average one-shot success across 10 tasks; 83% after 10 gradient steps on five minutes of data), including human-to-robot in-context imitation. Alongside Physical Intelligence's steerable π0.7, the cost of adapting a robot to a new task is collapsing toward zero — a qualitative change from fine-tune-per-task.
World-action models are now a recognized category. NVIDIA's DreamZero (Feb) → GR00T N2 (GTC, Mar) → Cosmos 3 (May 31) line established joint video-action prediction as the leading paradigm at the top of the benchmarks — models that predict how the world will look and what to do in it, sitting alongside VLAs rather than replacing them.
Benchmark leadership is volatile — and internationalized. RoboArena's #1 changed hands three times in four months: DreamZero → Cosmos3-Nano-Policy → Spirit v1.6, from Spirit AI, a Hangzhou startup that in June became the first Chinese model to top NVIDIA's own benchmark cycle. The Silicon-Valley monopoly narrative on robot brains is broken.
"Robot brain" companies hit real revenue tests. Skild AI's omni-bodied brain went into NVIDIA/Foxconn factories (and Skild bought Zebra's Fetch robotics business for its installed base); Field AI scaled deployments with a UK contractor; TRI spinout Walden Robotics (a $300M seed led by Toyota) emerged from stealth already running in a Toyota plant; Figure ran 8-hour autonomous shifts. The pilot-to-deployment transition for foundation models is real — though Boston Dynamics' ~4-units/month Atlas output shows the binding constraint is manufacturing.
The named open frontiers the reports still flag as unsolved: dexterous manipulation (fine, contact-rich hand skills), long-horizon and compositional tasks (stitching many skills together and recovering from mistakes without reprogramming), generalization and robustness in the messy real world, and — increasingly professionalized — evaluation and safety scaffolding: DeepMind's ASIMOV-Agentic benchmark, AI2's MolmoSpaces ecosystem (230,000 simulated environments, sim-to-real ranking correlation R=.96), RoboWorld neural simulators matching RoboArena at r=0.989, and a new physical-AI-safety workshop track at CoRL 2026.
Synthesized from the roboticscenter.ai, F-Prime Capital, and Robot Report 2026 outlooks plus May–Sep 2026 releases: Google DeepMind (Gemini Robotics 2 / ER 2 / On-Device 2), Figure (Helix S0), Generalist (GEN-1.5), Skild AI (S1), Physical Intelligence (π0.7), NVIDIA (DreamZero / GR00T N2 / Cosmos 3), eWeek/Pandaily (Spirit v1.6 on RoboArena), IEEE Spectrum (Walden), AI2 (MolmoSpaces, RSS 2026), and CoRL 2026 workshop listings.
One striking pattern across the sources: the strongest robot "brains" are increasingly open-weight — published with downloadable model weights anyone can fine-tune — closing the gap with closed, proprietary systems. Below are the open-source models named most consistently across the reports, followed by the handful of techniques the field has converged on. (A model's parameter count is a rough proxy for size; smaller can run on cheaper hardware.) One deal hangs over all of it: NVIDIA agreed to acquire Hugging Face for ~$13B (Sep 3, 2026) — the home of LeRobot and the open-weight ecosystem is set to be owned by the chip incumbent whose hardware it mostly runs on.
| Model | Who maintains it | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| OpenVLA | Stanford, with Berkeley, Google DeepMind, TRI, MIT | ~7B-parameter open VLA trained on ~970k demonstrations from Open X-Embodiment; the de-facto open baseline, fine-tunable on a single GPU. |
| π0 / π0.5 (via openpi) | Physical Intelligence | Generalist VLA that introduced flow matching for smooth ~50 Hz control; code and weights open-sourced in the openpi repo (early 2026). Later versions (π*0.6 / RECAP) add reinforcement-learning post-training. |
| Isaac GR00T N1.x / N2 | NVIDIA | Open ~3B humanoid foundation model line; N1.7 (Apr 2026) added a commercial license and shipped via LeRobot. N2 (announced GTC 2026, GA expected late 2026) is a "world action model" that jointly predicts video and actions. |
| SmolVLA | Hugging Face | Compact 450M-parameter open VLA that runs on consumer hardware, trained on community-collected data; matches larger models on standard benchmarks. |
| Octo | UC Berkeley | Lightweight (~93M) open generalist policy with diffusion-based actions; a key pre-VLA baseline that's easy to fine-tune to new robots. |
| RT-X / Open X-Embodiment | Google DeepMind + a 34-lab consortium | The seminal Robotics Transformer line and the open cross-embodiment dataset/framework most open models are pretrained and benchmarked on. |
| LeRobot | Hugging Face (NVIDIA acq. announced) | The open library/ecosystem that ships most of the above (plus ACT, Diffusion Policy), open datasets, and support for low-cost teleoperation hardware. v0.6 (Jul 2026) added world-model policies (VLA-JEPA, FastWAM, LingBot-VA), reward models, and a 9-benchmark eval hub; a critical RCE vulnerability (CVE-2026-25874, CVSS 9.8) was patched in May. |
| NVIDIA Cosmos | NVIDIA | Open world-model family trained on tens of trillions of multimodal tokens; generates synthetic training data and predictive rollouts. Cosmos 3 (May 2026) briefly topped RoboArena via its Nano policy variant. |
| Chinese open-model surge (LingBot, UnifoLM, Robotics-0) | Ant Group Robbyant, Unitree, Xiaomi | 2026's new wave: Ant's six-model open embodied stack (Jul), Unitree's UnifoLM line (VLA → OmniA → X2), and Xiaomi's Robotics-0 — Chinese labs are now among the most prolific open VLA/world-model publishers. |
The stack around the models consolidated in 2026. NVIDIA now fields a full-stack "robot Android": Isaac Sim 6.0 (GA June) and Isaac Lab 3.0 with multi-backend physics (PhysX, Newton, MuJoCo-Warp), the Newton 1.0 open physics engine — a Linux Foundation project co-built with Google DeepMind and Disney, GA at GTC — a GR00T reference humanoid hardware design, and Halos, a functional-safety certification layer (Agility's Digit is the first humanoid adopter). The open middleware base also rolled over: ROS 2 Lyrical Luth (May 2026) is the new LTS, supported to 2031 on Ubuntu 26.04 — the release industrial users will standardize on.
Open robot hardware hit consumer scale — and got bought. Hugging Face/Pollen's Reachy Mini passed 10,000 units with a 200+ app store, and the $399 open-source Microduck biped sold ~$2.6M of pre-orders in 24 hours. Then, on September 3, NVIDIA confirmed it is acquiring Hugging Face for ~$13B — the open-source stack's home, and its hardware line, will belong to the chip incumbent. How the community's commons fares under single-vendor ownership is the open question of the fall.
The dominant techniques (what these models actually do under the hood):

Algorithms for robot learning have matured rapidly; the practical ceiling is still the scarcity and cost of high-quality training demonstrations. A language model can train on the full text of the internet. A manipulation policy needs data of a robot doing the task. What changed since May: that scarcity has been industrialized — demonstration data is now a standalone, heavily capitalized market, with unicorns, national strategies, and gig-worker supply chains.
China built an embodied-data industry. More than ¥17B (~$2.4B) flowed into 25 Chinese embodied-data startups in H1 2026 alone, and the country had 90+ data-collection centers in use or planned (64 operational by April). PaXini runs a Tianjin "data factory" rated at 200M samples/year; Lightwheel became the first embodied-data unicorn (>$2B valuation after three 2026 rounds); Unitree spun out its data business (Mifeng); JD.com is building crowdsourced collection across 600,000 couriers. Five technical schools now compete: teleoperation factories, simulation, UMI-style wearable rigs, video-distillation/world-model generation, and data platforms.
The West re-priced its data vendors upward. Mercor — the white-collar data firm pivoting into physical-AI work — is reportedly in talks with NVIDIA as an investor at a ~$20B valuation (double its October 2025 mark, on ~$614M H1 gross revenue). Scale AI, post-Meta, leans on government (its Pentagon CDAO ceiling was raised to $500M) and a physical-AI data engine integrated into Universal Robots arms. Encord raised a $60M Series C on 10× physical-AI revenue growth. Teleoperation data itself keeps getting cheaper: industry estimates put the fully loaded price of one hour at roughly $340 in early 2024 and ~$118 by March 2026.
Gig platforms industrialized demonstration collection. Instawork's Instacore — a five-camera wearable rig plus compute backpack — turned its pool of gig workers into robot-data collectors (20,000+ certified workers within weeks); DoorDash's "Tasks" app pays couriers to record chores; Uber and Instacart run similar programs. The robot companies built their own flywheels too: Figure launched "Index," a crowdsourced real-world human video program to train Helix, and Tesla's first Optimus units are explicitly "Optimus Academy" data collectors rather than workers.
Open datasets: progress and limits. The largest public corpora — Open X-Embodiment (1M+ real-robot trajectories, 22 embodiments) and DROID (76,000 trajectories collected in-the-wild) — still anchor academic work, but dataset leadership is drifting to China: AgiBot's open AGIBOT WORLD 2026 releases (including an 11,430-trajectory RL theme) and RoboMIND 2.0 (310K dual-arm trajectories) now set the scale bar. One million episodes sounds large until you compare it to the billions of tokens in a language-model pretraining corpus.
The moat question. Open datasets let anyone get started. They do not level the playing field for deployment. A company running robots in a specific environment — a particular warehouse layout, a particular product mix — accumulates demonstrations precisely tuned to that context. That vertical dataset improves the policy, and a better policy runs more hours, generating more data. The compounding effect is why proprietary data pipelines are consistently cited as the primary defensibility argument in the sector: algorithms can be replicated; a year of contact-rich demonstrations from real operations cannot. The 2026 twist is that everyone now publicly agrees — Apptronik's Robot Park, Hyundai's RMAC, Tesla's Academy and Figure's Index are all data factories wearing robot companies' clothes. The compute bill to match is arriving too: on September 3, Figure signed a $3.5B multi-year compute commitment with Nscale — up to 100,000 NVIDIA Vera Rubin GPUs from H2 2027, with stated intent to scale past $6B — to train the next Helix generation, with Nscale taking an equity stake and preferred-provider status.

Robot "progress" is hard to pin down because there is no single agreed-upon scoreboard. In practice, capability is measured two ways: success rate on standardized tasks (did the arm actually pour the cup, fold the cloth, or complete the multi-step chore?) and, increasingly, head-to-head comparisons between policies. A lot of this evaluation happens in simulation — virtual physics worlds where a controller can attempt a task thousands of times overnight — because running the same trials on real hardware is slow, expensive, and easy to set up inconsistently from one lab to the next. In 2026 the framing sharpened: with models improving fast and nobody agreeing on how to measure them, evaluation itself became the bottleneck — and a competitive front in its own right.
Benchmarks are shared task suites with fixed rules, so different research groups can report numbers that are at least roughly comparable. Most are simulated and focus on tabletop manipulation (picking, placing, opening drawers), though newer ones push toward long, multi-step household chores and toward grading models on real robots.
| Benchmark | What it measures |
|---|---|
| Meta-World | 50 distinct simulated manipulation tasks on a single robot arm; a long-standing test of multi-task and meta-learning (one policy learning many skills). |
| RoboSuite | A modular simulation framework (built on MuJoCo) with a standard set of manipulation tasks; widely used as a base for building other benchmarks. |
| CALVIN | Long-horizon, language-conditioned chores — follow a sentence instruction across a chain of sub-tasks; tests generalization to unseen instructions and scenes. |
| LIBERO | 130 language-guided tasks grouped into suites that vary objects, spatial layout, and goals; designed to study how skills transfer as a robot learns continuously. |
| BEHAVIOR-1K | 1,000 realistic household activities (chosen from surveys of what people want robots to do) in the OmniGibson simulator; a 2025 challenge ran 50 full-length tasks. Among the most demanding tests of whole-house, long-horizon ability. |
| SimplerEnv | Simulated stand-ins for real robot setups (e.g. Google Robot, WidowX) tuned so that a policy's sim score tracks its real-world score — a cheaper proxy for physical testing. |
| RoboArena | Not a fixed task list: a distributed, crowdsourced network (launched 2025, across several universities on the DROID platform) that ranks generalist policies via double-blind, head-to-head trials on real hardware. Its #1 changed hands three times in four months in 2026 (DreamZero → Cosmos3-Nano-Policy → Spirit v1.6) — useful, but volatile. |
| MolmoSpaces | AI2's open evaluation ecosystem (RSS 2026): 230,000 simulated environments, 130,000 objects, 42M grasps across 3 simulators — with a sim-to-real policy-ranking correlation of R=.96. |
| ASIMOV / ASIMOV-Agentic | Google DeepMind's safety benchmarks for embodied agents — does the policy stay safe, not just succeed? Shipped alongside Gemini Robotics 2 (Jul 2026). |
Simulators are the physics engines and environments where policies are trained and stress-tested. The main ones in use today:
The honest caveat: there is still no trusted, standardized "Consumer Reports for humanoids" — no neutral body-of-record that rates whole robots head-to-head the way crash tests rate cars. Sim scores don't always carry over to real hardware (the "sim-to-real gap"), and companies often report their own numbers on their own tasks. Efforts to fix this are converging from several directions: the LeRobot eval hub now bundles nine benchmark families, AgiBot's ICRA 2026 challenge moved from simulation to real-robot testing, neural simulators (RoboWorld) are starting to reproduce real-robot rankings, and CoRL 2026 added a physical-AI-safety workshop. But RoboArena's leaderboard churn — three different #1s in four months — shows how unsettled the scoring still is. The US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) proposed a baseline performance benchmark for humanoid robots in May 2026 — a set of locomotion and manipulation tasks with quantifiable metrics — but it remains a proposal seeking consensus.

Robots that share space with people have to prove they won't hurt anyone, but the rulebook was written for an earlier generation of machines. Today's developers borrow safety standards from adjacent categories of robots and stretch them to fit. There is still no humanoid-specific safety standard in force — that gap is the defining feature of the current landscape.
The borrowed standards. The functional-safety framework robots lean on is a stack of ISO and ANSI documents, each written for a particular kind of machine:
The humanoid gap. None of the above was designed for a free-walking, two-legged robot in a warehouse or a home. Bipeds are "dynamically stable" — they need active control just to stay upright — which makes proving their safety far harder than for a bolted-down arm. Standards bodies are organizing, but slowly. ISO's robotics committee (TC 299) is drafting ISO 25785-1, aimed at industrial mobile robots with actively controlled stability (legged or wheeled); as of September 2026 it has advanced only to Committee Draft stage, covers industrial use (not consumer ownership), and has no confirmed publication date. The vacuum is now a named bottleneck, and stopgaps are filling it: Fraunhofer IPA launched the first independent humanoid benchmark (May 2026) — its tests of a Unitree G1 found collision forces far exceeding ISO 10218-2 pain-onset thresholds (>500 N in some movements) and no certified safety functions comparable to cobots; UL 4600:2026 (3rd edition, Aug 2026) extended its autonomous-products safety-case standard toward autonomous trucking; and NVIDIA's Halos for Robotics (Jun 2026) offers a vendor-run full-stack safety system and inspection lab, with Agility's Digit as first adopter. An IEEE study group framework (Sep 2025) remains "a starting line, not a finish line." For now, makers self-certify against the borrowed standards above — and deployments are outrunning the standards.
The gap surfaced in public, twice. A humanoid lost its remote-control link and fell during a demonstration at the 2026 World Robot Conference in Beijing (Aug 19), then thrashed on the exhibition floor as operators struggled to power it down — reviving the same criticism the standards vacuum implies: no confirmed, working fail-safe for connectivity loss. Two months earlier, a dancing humanoid at a Xi'an Eurasia University sports-meet opening ceremony (Apr 23) broke choreography and embraced a student mid-routine before staff intervened; the vendor blamed drone signal interference at the venue. Neither caused injury, but the OECD.AI AI Incidents Monitor separately logged a February 2026 case of a malfunctioning humanoid on public display in China colliding with and injuring an elderly bystander. None triggered a recall or regulatory action — each is a preview of the failure modes the borrowed standards above were never written to cover, in the market now shipping >97% of humanoid units globally.
Self-driving vehicles got a live stress test of two regulatory philosophies. NHTSA's July 30 package granted Zoox the first Part 555 exemption for a purpose-built, no-controls robotaxi (up to 2,500 vehicles/year for two years) — Zoox began charging fares in Las Vegas on August 10 — while Tesla took the opposite path, self-certifying the steering-wheel-free Cybercab and launching paid Austin rides on September 4; NHTSA opened an audit query into Tesla's FMVSS self-certification (~1,000 vehicles) the same day. Exemption vs. self-certification are now being stress-tested simultaneously. The incident docket thickened too: Waymo filed two recalls in-window (3,791 vehicles after a flooded-road incursion; 3,871 after driving past ramp-closure signs into construction zones) and remains under NHTSA/NTSB probes; Zoox recalled its fleet after an unoccupied vehicle drove into heavy smoke at a fire scene; and Tesla's FSD probe was upgraded to an Engineering Analysis covering 3.2 million vehicles — one step short of a recall demand.
China moved from recommended to mandatory governance. Beijing approved its first mandatory national automated-driving safety standard, GB 44721—2026 (effective July 1, 2027), covering lifecycle safety for L3/L4 vehicles; published a draft humanoid standards guide targeting ≥100 key standards by 2028 (testing, safety governance, ethics, social-impact assessment); launched a MIIT/SASAC "real-scene training" action targeting 10,000-unit validated deployments by end-2026; and suspended new L4 permits after a Wuhan incident stranded passengers in 100+ robotaxis. Deployment targets and binding safety baselines are now coupled.
Liability and insurance. Because product-liability allocation for autonomous robots is unsettled, insurers and integrators are improvising. As robots connect to enterprise networks and cloud services, a technical fault can become a business and legal event — downtime, regulatory questions, contract disputes across the supply chain. The EU's Machinery Regulation (2023/1230, applying from 2027) adds mandatory cybersecurity requirements where safety functions are affected.
Data privacy — and an EU timeline slip. A humanoid or service robot is a roaming sensor platform — cameras, microphones, depth sensors, sometimes always-on. The EU's AI Act treats many autonomous robots as high-risk AI systems, but the timeline moved: the Digital Omnibus (Regulation 2026/1744, in force July 27, 2026) delayed the high-risk duties — Annex III obligations to December 2027, and the embedded-AI/machinery track that captures most robots to August 2028 — even as GPAI enforcement and Article 50 transparency obligations went live on August 2, 2026. The EU Machinery Regulation's hard cut-over (January 20, 2027) still stands. In the US, obligations are arriving piecemeal at the state level — California's frontier-AI transparency law (effective Jan 1, 2026), Colorado's high-risk-AI law (effective mid-2026), and Texas's TRAIGA (signed 2025) — rather than through one federal rule.
Defense, export — and safety-flavored trade policy. Robotics sits on the ITAR/EAR line: ITAR governs military-specific items and technical data, while the EAR covers dual-use technology with both civil and military applications — where most commercial robots and their software fall. The bigger 2026 shift is market-access control wearing a security rationale: the FCC's July 28 Covered List expansion bars new foreign-made networked humanoids, quadrupeds and AMRs from US equipment authorization on national-security grounds (remote commandeering, surveillance), with House-passed NDAA language banning federal procurement of adversary-linked humanoids. In effect, robot safety certification and geopolitics are merging into one gate.
