Darker bar: ahead of the other company on that measure.
Neura Robotics is a German maker of the 4NE-1 general-purpose humanoid (third generation, unveiled June 2025) alongside its shipping MAiRA industrial and MiPA service lines, with headcount grown to 1,400. It announced a Series C of up to $1.4B in June 2026 (led by Tether at a ~$7B valuation, with Qualcomm, Amazon, NVIDIA, Bosch, Schaeffler, and the EIB), Europe's largest robotics round, and holds Bosch and Dassault collaborations, though 4NE-1 is prepared for series production rather than shipping at volume. How much of the "up to $1.4B" has actually funded, 4NE-1 deployment counts, and Tether as lead investor (a governance watch) are the open questions.

RobotEra (Tsinghua lineage) is a Chinese humanoid maker whose thousand-unit deliveries began in Q2-2026 (growth >300%), built around the L7 biped and the 12-DoF XHAND1, with >95% of core hardware claimed in-house, deployed across 10+ logistics centers via China Post and SF Group for 24-hour parcel sorting. It raised a ~RMB 1B strategic round in March 2026 at a >RMB 10B valuation, then a $200M+ round in May 2026 led by its logistics customer SF Group (HSG, IDG, Hillhouse participating), with a Hong Kong IPO planned but not yet filed. Revenue is undisclosed (thousand-unit deliveries at mid-five-figure ASPs imply tens of millions; funding-total figures conflict).
