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.

NEURA Robotics develops general-purpose cognitive humanoids, including the 4NE1, and is scaling their production, training, perception, and real-world deployment through partnerships and NEURA Gym facilities.
Darker bar: ahead of the other company on that measure.
Neura Robotics is a German maker of the 4NE-1 general-purpose humanoid (third generation, unveiled June 2025) alongside its shipping MAiRA industrial and MiPA service lines, with headcount grown to 1,400. It announced a Series C of up to $1.4B in June 2026 (led by Tether at a ~$7B valuation, with Qualcomm, Amazon, NVIDIA, Bosch, Schaeffler, and the EIB), Europe's largest robotics round, and holds Bosch and Dassault collaborations, though 4NE-1 is prepared for series production rather than shipping at volume. How much of the "up to $1.4B" has actually funded, 4NE-1 deployment counts, and Tether as lead investor (a governance watch) are the open questions.
