Humanoid Robots

China is now the densest cluster of humanoid robot companies anywhere. Unitree, AgiBot, UBTech, Fourier and Galbot are the names that reach the English-language press; behind them sit dozens of younger teams building whole-body controllers, dexterous hands, training data and the lab-, factory- and retail-specific robots that actually earn revenue. Provincial governments in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Hangzhou fund innovation centres and competitions, and a supply chain built for electric vehicles and consumer electronics keeps hardware costs falling.
