Mentee Robotics · HumanoidDevelopment

Mentee Robotics' AI-first humanoid robot designed for household and warehouse tasks. Co-founded by Prof. Amnon Shashua (also co-founder of Mobileye) and Prof. Shai Shalev-Shwartz. Features full vertical integration with self-made actuators, Sim2Real learning for lifelike gait, NeRF-based 3D mapping, and LLM-powered task planning. Can be 'mentored' by humans — learning new skills through observation. Hot-swappable battery for continuous operation.

NEURA Robotics · HumanoidDevelopment

The 4NE-1 is a cognitive humanoid robot from NEURA Robotics, a Stuttgart-based company founded in 2019. Standing 180 cm tall and weighing 80 kg, it's built for both industrial and domestic use. The robot features 360-degree 3D perception, force-torque sensors on all joints, and a sensor skin for safe human interaction. It learns autonomously through reinforcement learning and can operate independently or via remote control. NEURA partnered with NVIDIA to accelerate development using their robotics simulation platform. The 4NE-1 can carry loads up to 15 kg and move at walking speed. A smaller variant, the 4NE-1 Mini, is planned for research and education use.

Oversonic Robotics · Humanoid

RoBee R is an industrial cognitive humanoid robot made in Italy by Oversonic Robotics. Standing up to 190 cm tall and weighing up to 180 kg, it operates autonomously in factories and hospitals alongside human workers. It uses AI-driven perception and real-time decision-making to handle pick-and-place tasks, quality inspection, machine tending, and patient monitoring. RoBee debuted at CES 2026 and has been deployed in over 60 Italian companies. It features bimanual manipulation with 40 degrees of freedom, autonomous navigation up to 1.2 m/s, and up to 8 hours of battery life with inductive charging. Oversonic signed a supply agreement with STMicroelectronics in December 2025.

NASA / General Motors · HumanoidDiscontinued

The first humanoid robot sent to space. Developed jointly by NASA and General Motors, Robonaut 2 (R2) arrived at the International Space Station aboard STS-133 in February 2011. Designed to work alongside astronauts using the same tools they use, R2 features dexterous five-fingered hands with 12 degrees of freedom each. It operated on the ISS until 2018 when it was returned to Earth for repairs. As of 2024, R2 is on display at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.

NASA JSC · HumanoidActive

NASA's R5 Valkyrie is an entirely electric humanoid robot designed and built at the Johnson Space Center for the 2013 DARPA Robotics Challenge. Named after a figure from Norse mythology, it was built to operate in degraded or damaged human-engineered environments — with the long-term goal of supporting future space missions, either preparing sites before human arrival or assisting crews on other planets. Valkyrie has 44 degrees of freedom, including a 7-DOF arm on each side and simplified hands with 3 fingers and a thumb. The head sits on a 3-DOF neck with a Carnegie Robotics Multisense SL sensor (stereo, laser, IR structured light) plus fore and aft hazard cameras in the torso. After the DRC Trials, NASA provided units to MIT and Northeastern University with $500,000 each in funding for further research.

PAL Robotics · Humanoid

PAL Robotics' full-size humanoid research platform, built in Barcelona. TALOS stands 1.75m tall and weighs 95kg, with 32 degrees of freedom and full torque sensing in all joints (except head, wrists, and grippers). It can carry 6kg per arm fully extended, making it one of the strongest research humanoids available. Its EtherCAT communication network runs control loops at 2 kHz (up to 5 kHz), enabling highly reactive and dynamic motions. Fully ROS-based and open-source-friendly, with simulation models available. Used in top research labs worldwide for locomotion, whole-body control, and industrial manipulation research. The head and grippers are fully customizable.

PAL Robotics · Humanoid

REEM-C is a full-size bipedal humanoid research robot built by PAL Robotics in Barcelona, Spain. Standing 165 cm tall with 68 degrees of freedom, it can walk stably, climb stairs, and sit in a chair. It runs on ROS with Ubuntu Linux and is fully open-source in simulation. Designed for AI and robotics research, it supports whole-body control, autonomous navigation, grasping, speech recognition, and teleoperation. Used by universities and research labs worldwide.

Pollen Robotics · HumanoidActive

An open-source humanoid robot built by French company Pollen Robotics for research in manipulation, human-robot interaction, and embodied AI. Features two 7-DoF bio-inspired arms, a 3-DoF expressive head, and an omnidirectional mobile base with lidar. Partnered with Hugging Face on their LeRobot open-source robotics initiative. Fully open-source with ROS 2 support and a Python SDK. Designed for researchers, developers, and robotics enthusiasts who want a customizable platform. In April 2025, Pollen Robotics was acquired by Hugging Face, which plans to fully open-source both hardware and software.

Sanctuary AI · HumanoidDevelopment

Sanctuary AI's general-purpose humanoid with Carbon AI system. Currently in pilot programs only. No public pricing or battery specs verified.

Sony · HumanoidDiscontinued

QRIO (Quest for cuRIOsity) was Sony's bipedal humanoid entertainment robot, developed as a follow-up to AIBO. Standing just 58 cm tall and weighing 7.3 kg, it was the first bipedal robot capable of running — recognized by Guinness World Records in 2005. It could recognize faces and voices, dance, and interact with people. Sony discontinued development in January 2006. Four QRIO units famously appeared dancing in Beck's 'Hell Yes' music video.

Tesla · HumanoidDevelopment

Tesla's second-generation humanoid robot. Currently in internal deployment at Tesla factories. No consumer sales or pre-orders available. Musk has stated a target price of ~$30,000.

Tesla · HumanoidPrototype

Tesla's first-generation humanoid robot prototype, also known as Tesla Bot. Unveiled at AI Day in September 2022, it demonstrated basic walking and arm movements. Controlled by the same AI system Tesla developed for its Autopilot driver-assistance technology. Linear actuators use planetary roller screw technology for high force density during walking. The Gen 1 prototype was a proof of concept that led to the more refined Gen 2 (December 2023) and the Optimus currently in limited production at Tesla factories.
