Boston Dynamics ranks 6 on the Humanoids 100 with a score of 87; Clone Robotics ranks 87 with 53. Boston Dynamics is ahead on deployment, production, commercials, progress, technology, positioning, firepower and leverage. Boston Dynamics is based in Waltham, United States, Clone Robotics in Mountain View, United States. Clone Robotics: private. Boston Dynamics is named in 325 signals and Clone Robotics in 24.
Boston Dynamics is developing Atlas as a general-purpose humanoid for industrial deployment, including automotive production lines and Hyundai manufacturing facilities.
Darker bar: ahead of the other company on that measure.
Boston Dynamics (Hyundai-owned) makes Spot (1,500+ across 40+ countries) and Stretch (at DHL, Maersk, H&M, and others), with about $130M in 2025 revenue across the two, and began Atlas humanoid production in January 2026. All of 2026 Atlas production is committed to just two customers, Hyundai RMAC and Google DeepMind (third-party pilots from 2027), and Hyundai Mobis will supply next-gen Atlas actuators as part of a Hyundai group plan to deploy tens of thousands of robots. Hyundai became sole owner in July 2026 ($325M for SoftBank's 9.65%, ~$3.3B implied), and CEO Robert Playter retired in February 2026, leaving a leadership gap analysts have flagged.

Clone Robotics develops general-purpose anthropomorphic robots, including the Protoclone and Clone Alpha, with human-like articulation, synthetic organs, pneumatic or hydraulic actuation, and walking capability.
Darker bar: ahead of the other company on that measure.
Clone is the outlier of the humanoid field: instead of motors and gearboxes it builds musculoskeletal androids driven by water-hydraulic artificial muscles ("Myofibers") on a polymer skeleton — the Protoclone V1 has roughly 1,000 muscle fibers and 500 sensors and is the only faithful anatomical replica of the human body in the industry. The bet is that human-shaped compliance and hand dexterity, not payload, wins the home; it markets Clone Alpha as a consumer android on preorder. Commercially it is pre-deployment — no verified customer installations — so its value today is entirely technology option value on a genuinely unique actuation approach the rest of the field cannot copy quickly.
