We haven't ranked the companies on the list, so please don't get upset if your favorite humanoid bot is not listed at the top.

Note: There are many other milestones and metrics to consider - and we will be adding more to this list over time.

Observations:

1) Figure
@Figure_robot
appears to be leading the way in efforts to commercialize bots - announcing an agreement with BMW.

2) Tesla
@Tesla_Optimus
has made rapid progress with its bot and with Tesla's manufacturing prowess, many consider Tesla to be in the lead - but it is still early days.

3) Sanctuary
@TheSanctuaryAI
has posted 63 videos of its bot doing all kinds of useful things - check out Sanctuary's YouTube channel for the series of "Robots Doing Stuff"

4) Seven of the companies on the list are Chinese.

5) So far the Chinese bot companies have focused on walking (and kicking their bots!) - this is a bit odd as walking isn't critical in order for bots to do useful work. That said, we expect to see rapid progress in the capabilities of the Chinese bots.
