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.

Unitree is the Chinese humanoid and quadruped leader (Shanghai STAR Market IPO in August 2026, ~$905M raised at ~$9B, closing up ~460-542% day one) that shipped 5,500 humanoids in 2025 (world #1 per its prospectus) with FY25 revenue of RMB 1.71B (~$250M, +335%) at ~60% gross margin, humanoids now 51.5% of core revenue. Its H2 full-size humanoid ships at $29,900 (the cheapest on the market) and its G1 at $13,500, with a $100K NVIDIA GR00T reference platform due late 2026, targeting ~20,000 humanoid shipments in 2026. A critical mix flag: >70% of 2025 humanoid sales were research and educational buyers, with industrial deployments under 10% of revenue, so its shipment count and its useful-work count are very different things.
