Darker bar: ahead of the other company on that measure.
DexForce, also known as Kuawei or 跨维智能, is a China-based physical-AI company supplying embodied-intelligence software, 3D perception, simulation/data infrastructure and its own W1 Pro general-purpose humanoid platform. It reported more than 1,000 deployed projects across over 30 cities, a July-2025 A1/A2 financing of several hundred million RMB, a June-2026 RMB 1 billion Series B at a valuation above RMB 10 billion, and W1 Pro production and first delivery through Lenovo's manufacturing network in October-December 2025. Its distinguishing position is a vertically integrated data-to-model-to-robot stack; the open question is how much of reported commercial deployment is autonomous operation versus company-supported or teleoperated delivery.

Rainbow Robotics is a South Korean maker (KAIST HUBO lineage) of RB cobots, AMRs, the RB-Y1 wheeled dual-arm mobile manipulator, and humanoids, now consolidated by Samsung after it raised its stake to 35% (~$181.6M, December 2024) to become the largest shareholder. H1-26 revenue was ~KRW 21.3B (~$15M, +105% YoY), with mobile-humanoid products becoming the biggest revenue source (40.5% of sales) and a Coupang warehouse robot pilot underway, though it remains loss-making (a KRW 2.03B Q2 operating loss). Samsung's Future Robotics Office advises alongside co-founder Jun-Ho Oh.
