Darker bar: ahead of the other company on that measure.
AgiBot (Zhiyuan Robotics; AgiBot Innovation (Shanghai) Technology Co., Ltd.) is a Shanghai-based embodied-AI humanoid maker founded Feb-23 by ex-Huawei executives Deng Taihua (CEO/Chairman) and Peng Zhihui (CTO). It rolled out its 5,000th mass-produced humanoid Dec-8-25 and its 15,000th by Jun-26, and per Omdia was the No.1 global humanoid shipper in 2025 (~5,100 units, ~39% share). It reported group revenue of ~RMB 1.05bn for 2025 and launched a Hong Kong IPO process Jul-24-26 targeting a ~US$5.1–6.4bn valuation; the open question is whether commercial depth matches its production lead.

Darker bar: ahead of the other company on that measure.
Spirit AI (Hangzhou, also known as Qianxun) makes the Xiaomo (Moz) humanoid, which is in regular production operation at CATL's Luoyang plant doing high-precision battery-connector insertion and end-of-line testing at skilled-worker pace, a task-focused design that deliberately avoids complex five-finger hands. It is CATL-affiliated (Borui Capital, a CATL co-founder, backs it), raised ~RMB 1.3B/$185M across three rounds since 2024, and represents the deepest verified single-customer humanoid deployment in China outside auto plants. That single-customer concentration is the whole story so far.
