How this page works

30 companies in three groups, A–Z inside each group. No ranking: the badge says how far each company has got.

Shipping means paying customers have the robots; Pilots, trials at named sites; Pre-orders, orders taken but nothing delivered; Prototype, shown but not sold. For robot brains: In use (paying customers or named robot makers), Released (out for anyone to use), Research.
Every fact links to where it came from. The company's own announcement or filing comes first; a line marked Reported comes from news outlets only. Demo videos and social posts are not used as sources.
Robot makers are on the list when they build humanoid or general-purpose robots and have customers, a large round or a listing. Robot brains are the companies building the AI models that run robots.
Not on the list: Sanctuary AI, often named among humanoid makers, moved in June 2026 to selling its AI and robot hands for existing industrial arms (Techcouver).
The list is checked every morning with the rest of the Switchboard: new robots, customers, money and leaders, each from the company's own page where it has one.
