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.","assessed_in":{"domain":"Humanoids","list":"Humanoids 100","rank":22,"score":76,"tier":"member","scores":{"gate_ne":["firepower"],"leverage":8,"position":8,"progress":10,"firepower":10,"commercial":5,"deployment":7,"production":6,"technology":6},"why":"NEURA Robotics develops general-purpose cognitive humanoids, including the 4NE1, and is scaling their production, training, perception, and real-world deployment through partnerships and NEURA Gym facilities.","segment":"General-purpose","layer":"Systems"},"signals_total":208,"facts_total":125},{"name":"RobotEra","url":"https://www.frontiertechintelligence.com/companies/robotera","city":"Beijing","country":"China","stage":"private","founded":null,"last_round":null,"positioning":"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.
