Car plants, warehouses and a few labs. A site-by-site map of where humanoids work in 2026: BYD, Geely, Foxconn, Hyundai, Amazon, Mercedes-Benz and more.

Kepler K2 and Galbot G1 reach 8 hours with 1.4–2.3 kWh batteries and 75–92 kg of mass. Digit 5 takes the other route. Payload and runtime across 11 robots.

UBTECH reported 921 humanoids in H1 2026, AgiBot 5,100+ in 2025, Figure 350+. Tesla, Apptronik, NEURA and 1X have no verified deliveries. The numbers.

Unitree now sells humanoids from $4,900 to $100,000. R1, G1 and H2 compared on price, sensors, runtime and payload, and which one fits which job in 2026.

Digit 5 nearly doubles Digit's mass to 129 kg for 42% more payload and cuts runtime to 90 minutes with a 9-minute charge. What it means for 2027 buyers.

Figure 03 shipped with 20 kg of payload — five kg less than the platform it succeeded. The launch materials never marked the change. Across six manufacturers over three years of press releases, spec sheets, and shipped-unit measurements, a pattern of quiet downgrades keeps showing up. This is what to look for when the reveal deck does not match the datasheet.

A Digit-class humanoid leases at $30/hour. The warehouse worker it would displace costs $22/hour fully loaded. The gap closes quickly once integration, downtime, training, charging infrastructure, and depreciation enter the spreadsheet. Three real-world TCO scenarios with numbers traceable to public sources.

Of 43 humanoid robots tracked at biorobot.ai, only 8 ship with both native ROS2 support and Isaac Sim USD assets. ROS2 and Isaac Sim are not competitors — one is a deployment runtime, the other a training pipeline. A per-robot coverage matrix and a four-bucket decision tree for picking the right platform in 2026.

The cheapest humanoid robot you can wire-transfer money for and receive in mid-2026 is the Unitree R1 at $4,900. Every robot below $20,000 shipping today comes from a Chinese manufacturer. Every robot advertised at $20,000 — Figure 03, 1X NEO, Tesla Optimus, Kepler K2 — has not yet begun customer deliveries. A tiered guide with TCO math.

Figure 02はBMWスパルタンバーグ工場で11ヶ月にわたり30,000台のX3生産に貢献。一方Tesla Optimusは学習フェーズのGen 3が約300台、外部顧客はゼロ。仕様、配備、ソフト、価格を実数で比較する。
