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.

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.
