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.

Darker bar: ahead of the other company on that measure.
Galbot (Beijing Galaxy General Robot Co. / 银河通用), founded May-23, is a Beijing-based embodied-AI company building full-stack humanoid/mobile-manipulator systems (flagship G1 wheeled dual-arm robot, unveiled Mar-25; industrial Galbot S1) governed by its self-developed 'Galaxy Brain/AstraBrain' foundation model trained mainly on simulated synthetic data. It is among China's most-funded embodied-AI players, raising through a Dec-25 round exceeding USD 300M (USD 3B valuation, USD 800M cumulative) and a Mar-26 round of ~RMB 2.5B lifting valuation above RMB 20B, with named industrial partners CATL and Bosch. The open question is commercial depth: it reportedly ships fewer than ~150 robots/year despite very high funding and valuation.
