Positioning

Hyundai Mobis is a KRX-listed Hyundai-group automotive tier-1 entering humanoid actuation, having agreed at CES 2026 to supply actuators for Boston Dynamics' next-generation Atlas, its first robotics customer. It is the Korean answer to Schaeffler, leveraging its automotive actuator design and mass-production base to supply the joints for Hyundai Motor Group's plan to deploy tens of thousands of robots (part of a $26B US investment); by its own framing, actuators are more than 60% of humanoid material cost. Robotics revenue is not broken out.

Positioning

Quanzhibo (泉智博) makes integrated joint modules for humanoid and general robots, and the shipment numbers are the reason it scores as highly as it does on deployment and production. In the first half of 2026 cumulative shipments of integrated joint modules passed 120,000 units, with over 60,000 shipped in June alone, the steepest ramp of any component maker in this registry. FY2025 orders exceeded RMB 150 million and 2026 orders are expected to reach several hundred million RMB. In April 2026 its precision joint production base in Wuxi entered production with a planned annual capacity at the million-unit level: an automation rate above 85 percent, a 90-second cycle time per joint module, first-pass qualification stable above 96 percent and product yield at 98 percent. Those are manufacturing figures rather than prototype claims, which is unusual in this segment and is why production scores 5. The investor base is the other signal: Hillhouse and Agibot both backed the company, putting Agibot on the cap table of both this row and Critical Point. Named customers are Leju Robotics, Songyan Dynamics and Galaxea. The company is splitting its footprint by function, keeping Wuxi as the manufacturing base while investing in Beijing and Shenzhen for research and embodied AI commercialisation and in Chongqing for large-scale high-end manufacturing and delivery stability.
