Key metrics for this segment: deployments / orders. Figures as published by each company or the press, dated, not recalculated. The AIs weigh them alongside funding history and comparables.

Not in this segment. Robot foundation models without their own robot (Physical Intelligence, Skild AI) belong to Foundation models; robot arms and cobots to Industrial robots; wheeled manipulators without a human-like upper body (The Bot Company, RoboForce, Proxie) and warehouse robots to Logistics robots. Medical exoskeleton maker Wandercraft, whose Calvin humanoid is not yet its main activity, and companion robots (Andromeda) are not ranked here. Chinese companies are never ranked: Unitree (listed in Shanghai since Aug 2026), AgiBot, Galbot, X Square Robot, Robot Era, Galaxea, Sharpa, EngineAI and Fourier lead a market where China weighs heavily. Not eligible because entirely bought: Boston Dynamics (Hyundai), Mentee Robotics (Mobileye, 2026), Tokyo Robotics (Yaskawa), Pollen Robotics (Hugging Face), Kinisi (Bear Robotics), Kind Humanoid (1X), Fauna Robotics (Amazon); created by their group: PAL Robotics, VinMotion; shut down: K-Scale Labs, Cartwheel Robotics. Agility Robotics stays ranked until its SPAC listing closes. A company appears in one segment only. Method

Ranking in descending order of AI-estimated valuation, based on public information, with no human intervention on the order. The valuations, ranges and brackets shown are editorial estimates produced by AI, purely indicative and imperfect by nature: neither a financial valuation, nor an offer, nor investment advice. Only the market sets a company’s value, through a funding round or a sale. Edition 0: produced by Claude (Anthropic); a consensus of several AI models will apply in a future edition. Eligibility: at least $1M raised including one equity round, non-listed company, main activity in this segment (humanoid robots). Country shown is the country of main operations.

Invest in humanoid robots, together

Uback aggregates investment intentions from business angels, family offices, corporates and sector specialists worldwide. Every ranked company already has professional investors on its cap table, who have negotiated a shareholders’ agreement: you don’t start from a blank page.

Strength in numbers

Alone, a small ticket opens no doors. Together, Backers carry weight.

Declare an intention

On a company, whether or not it has agreed, or on this segment, worldwide, in a region or in a country, with a ticket range. Paid, to show you are serious; valid for life, and movable until a deal process opens.

Critical mass is reached

When the pool’s combined amount reaches its critical mass, a floor amount estimated by the AI, the pool is passed to the local partner, who presents this demand to the companies concerned.

The local partner structures

If the company’s expectations and the Backers’ converge, the partner builds a transaction and presents it directly to the Backers concerned.

Closing

Capital raise or sale of existing shares: small tickets are pooled in a common vehicle set up by the local partner. Each Backer decides whether to take part.

Uback does not advise, does not negotiate, collects nothing. Each transaction is run by the local partner of the company’s country, under the law that governs its shares.

Challengers

A registered company raising funds that is not in the ranking will be able, for a fee, to appear in a separate list labelled “Challengers”, for a set period, with a memo available to verified Backers. The listing has no effect on the ranking. Not open yet.
