This market map, featured in our humanoid robotics market deck, highlights top companies and startups in the humanoid robotics market
Key funding trends in the humanoid robotics market
Insights
- Humanoid robotics funding is highly concentrated. The top 10 startups account for about 60% of the roughly $20.4B reconstructed across the ranking, so a relatively small group controls most of the sector’s financial resources.
- The funding gap between leaders and the rest of the humanoid robotics market is substantial. Median funding is about $68.5M, while average funding is roughly $261M, reflecting the influence of several billion-dollar companies.
- Figure AI has raised more than $1.8B across only four rounds, averaging more than $450M per financing event. UBTECH Robotics reached approximately $2.5B through 22 equity events, showing two very different capitalization strategies.
- Recent funding rounds are reshaping the humanoid robotics leaderboard quickly. NEURA Robotics, Unitree Robotics, AI2 Robotics, Apptronik and several other leaders completed major financings during 2026.
- Astribot’s approximately $148M Series B represents almost all of its roughly $150M cumulative funding, while Sunday Robotics raised about 83% of its $200M total in a single $165M Series B.
- Apptronik’s $520M financing represents roughly 54% of the company’s $967M cumulative equity funding, showing that large follow-on checks are becoming important even for already well-funded humanoid robotics startups.
- The humanoid robotics market has a clear barbell funding structure. Fifteen companies have raised at least $500M, while 45 companies in the ranking remain below $100M of cumulative equity funding.
- Public markets are already an important source of humanoid robotics capital. UBTECH Robotics, Unitree Robotics, Richtech Robotics, Robotis and Rainbow Robotics together account for approximately $4.3B of reconstructed equity funding.
- RobotEra and The Bot Company have each reached roughly $300M of cumulative funding after only a few major rounds, suggesting investors are willing to deploy growth-stage checks unusually early in the development of humanoid platforms.
- RoboForce raised $52M of its $67M cumulative funding in its latest financing, meaning roughly 78% of the industrial physical AI company’s external equity arrived in one round.

As this chart shows, and as featured in our humanoid robotics market deck, search interest in where to buy robots has been rising steadily
A few word about our methodology
As you can see, we built a database that ranks startups in the humanoid robotics market based on their total cumulative fundraising. To create this ranking, we reviewed many sources and cross-checked information across multiple places.
Whenever possible, we prioritized official company communications, since they are the most reliable source for funding amounts. When those were not available, we relied on reputable industry sources such as TechCrunch, Crunchbase, Financial Times or Forbes (to name a few).
We excluded random blogs, unverified websites, and any sources that could not be validated.
We also consolidated duplicate company identities when the same humanoid robotics startup appeared under different English names, translated names, brands, or legal entities.
When funding rounds were announced in other currencies such as euros, Swiss francs, Singapore dollars, Australian dollars, yuan, won, yen, or rupees, we converted them into approximate USD equivalents for consistency.
Sometimes different sources report slightly different numbers, or the exact round size is not fully disclosed. In those cases, we flag the uncertainty and assign a confidence label to each startup, visible in the last column.
Here is what they mean.
Full confidence: The company’s equity fundraising history can be reconstructed completely from public sources. The rounds, dates, amounts, and key investors are clearly identified, with no meaningful gaps.
Strong confidence: The fundraising history is largely complete and reliable. There may be a small missing detail, such as incomplete investor information or a minor round with limited data, but the overall record is clear.
Partial confidence: The main fundraising rounds can be identified, but the record is incomplete or somewhat mixed. Some rounds may be missing or certain funding events may be difficult to separate clearly.
Low confidence: Public information is too limited, inconsistent, or ambiguous to reliably reconstruct the company’s equity fundraising history.
When the confidence level is too low, we take a conservative approach and exclude the company from the ranking. We don’t want to include data that cannot be reliably verified.
This reflects how we conduct all our research, including the work behind our report covering the humanoid robotics market.
In a world where LLMs hallucinate and unreliable information is everywhere, our goal is simple: provide data you can trust.
If you want the full detail on a specific calculation, feel free to contact us and we will gladly explain.
Finally, know that we update the dataset once per month, so come back here if you need fresh information.

NEW MARKET PITCH TEAM
We track new markets so founders and investors can move fasterWe build living “market pitch” documents for emerging markets: from AI to synthetic biology and new proteins. Instead of digging through outdated PDFs, random blog posts, and hallucinated LLM answers, our clients get a clean, visual, always-updated view of what’s really happening. We map the key players, deals, regulations, metrics and signals that matter so you can decide faster whether a market is worth your time. Want to know more? Check out our about page. You can also follow us on Instagram or on Facebook.
How we created this content 🔎📝
At New Market Pitch, we kept seeing the same problem: when you look at a new market, the data is either missing, paywalled, or buried in 300-page reports that feel like they were written in the 80s. On the other side, LLMs and random blog posts give you confident answers with no sources, and sometimes they just make things up. That’s not good enough when you’re about to invest real money or launch a company.
So we decided to fix the experience. For each market we cover, we build a structured database and update it on a regular basis. We track funding rounds, fund memos, M&A moves, partnerships, new products, policy changes, and the real activity of startups and incumbents. Then we turn all of that into a clear “market pitch” that shows where the opportunities are and how people actually win in that space.
Every key data point is checked, sourced, and put back into context by our team. That’s how we can give you both speed and reliability: fast coverage of new markets, without the usual guesswork.
