Darker bar: ahead of the other company on that measure.
DEEP Robotics is a Chinese maker of the Jueying X quadruped (681 sold in 2025, 58% of revenue) plus the wheeled-legged Shanmao M and a nascent DR humanoid, serving power-grid inspection, rescue, and public security, with 2025 revenue of RMB 337M (~$46.8M) and its first net profit (RMB 29M) after 2023-24 losses. Its STAR Market IPO filing was accepted (May 2026, a ~$347M target), and it is in the inquiry stage. Quadrupeds are its revenue base; the humanoid is still <1%.

36 facts on file.
Serve Robotics develops and operates autonomous sidewalk delivery robots in U.S. neighborhoods and, through Diligent Robotics, Moxi hospital delivery robots.
Darker bar: ahead of the other company on that measure.
Serve is the most operationally scaled sidewalk delivery company in this batch and the clearest illustration of why deployment and commercial scores must be kept separate. It has deployed more than 2,000 Gen 3 robots across the US, reaching a population of roughly 3 million and supporting more than 4,000 restaurants, and expanded to 44 cities across 14 states after acquiring Diligent Robotics in Q1 2026, which took it indoors into hospital service robots. Revenue is nonetheless small: USD 3.2 million in Q2 2026, up 404 percent year over year but only 9 percent sequentially. The revenue mix is more interesting than the total, with advertising at nearly 50 percent of food delivery revenue and recurring revenue above 50 percent of total revenue. Then the setback: on 2026-08-06 Serve cut FY2026 revenue guidance to USD 9 to 10 million citing lower than expected Uber Eats delivery volume, alongside an opex guidance cut from USD 160 to 170 million down to USD 140 to 150 million. The stock fell roughly 15 percent and sits about 80 percent below its 2024 peak. Momentum scores 3 because the guidance cut and the loss of a founding channel offset genuine growth. Firepower is the counterweight at USD 240.4 million of cash and marketable securities.
