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.
TARS is the capital story of Chinese embodied AI: a $122M angel+ round in July 2025 (a domestic record) followed by a $455M Pre-A in April 2026 co-led by GL Ventures, HSG and Meituan — described by Caixin as China largest single humanoid financing round — all before meaningful commercial deployment. Technically it targets precision manufacturing tasks, claiming its humanoid solves wire-harness assembly, one of the hardest unsolved dexterity problems in factory automation; if that claim holds at production quality, the valuation logic follows. Today it scores as maximal momentum and firepower on minimal deployed evidence.
