Darker bar: ahead of the other company on that measure.
Hexagon AB (Nasdaq Stockholm: HEXA B; Stockholm HQ, Robotics division Zurich-based) is a precision-measurement and sensor group that formed a dedicated Robotics division on Mar-31-25 and launched its first humanoid, AEON, on Jun-17-25 at Hexagon LIVE. AEON is an industrial humanoid combining Hexagon's sensor suite with NVIDIA compute (Jetson/Omniverse), Microsoft Azure and maxon actuators, with Schaeffler and Pilatus signed as pilot customers; broader unit release is targeted early 2026. Open question: the Robotics division is explicitly in an investment phase with no disclosed robotics revenue, and pilots—not fleet deployments—are the current state.

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.
