Its core lines are the xMate force-controlled collaborative robots and industrial six-axis arms sold into electronics, automotive and general manufacturing, and it completed a Hong Kong IPO (HKEX 3752) in July 2026 — revenue growing but still loss-making. Since 2025 it has expanded into embodied intelligence with the Human.X humanoid and force-controlled arms marketed as components for other embodied-AI builders, so it now plays both as a robot maker and as an arms supplier to the humanoid wave.","assessed_in":{"domain":"Humanoids","list":"Humanoids 100","rank":76,"score":56,"tier":"member","scores":{"gate_ne":["firepower"],"leverage":6,"position":4,"progress":8,"firepower":8,"commercial":4,"deployment":4,"production":4,"technology":6},"why":"Rokae develops and launches Human.X humanoid robots and turnkey embodied-robotics solutions, positioning it as a builder of general-purpose humanoid systems.","segment":"General-purpose","layer":"Systems"},"signals_total":8,"facts_total":16}],"note":"Assessment by Frontier Tech Intelligence; facts and signals carry their sources."}
