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.

Darker bar: ahead of the other company on that measure.
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.
