Who are the top investors in humanoid robotics?
In our humanoid robotics market deck, you will find everything you need to understand the market
SUMMARY
Amazon, Alibaba, Nvidia and Parkway currently stand out as the top investors in humanoid robotics, but they are winning for very different reasons: deployment capacity, portfolio breadth, infrastructure leverage and unusually strong early-stage selection.
The best humanoid investors are not necessarily the ones writing the largest checks. Getting into Figure, Agility, Unitree or Apptronik before the sector became fashionable tells us more than joining a giant late-stage round after most of the technical risk has already been repriced.
Portfolio breadth is becoming more valuable as the market gets more concentrated. Amazon, Alibaba, Nvidia, HSG and IDG all have several credible ways to win, while investors such as Parkway and B Capital depend much more heavily on one exceptional company.
Strategic investors have an unusual advantage in robotics because capital is only one bottleneck. Amazon can provide logistics environments, Mercedes-Benz and Schaeffler can provide factories, and Nvidia can provide the compute, simulation and software infrastructure almost every robot maker needs.
Nvidia has probably built the best hedge in the category. It owns direct stakes in selected humanoid companies while selling infrastructure to a much wider group of competitors, so it does not need to correctly predict the eventual winning manufacturer.
Some of the strongest venture records actually predate the current humanoid boom. DCVC and Playground backed Agility in 2020, while Parkway led Figure's Series A in 2023 and then returned to lead again once the company had become dramatically more expensive.
China has changed the investor leaderboard quickly. Alibaba, HSG, Meituan and IDG now have portfolios across several of the country's most heavily financed robot makers, while Unitree's public listing has given investors a much clearer benchmark for what an early humanoid position can become.
Meituan's Unitree position is especially hard to ignore. A roughly 9.65% disclosed pre-IPO institutional position in a company that later reached a huge public-market valuation is much stronger evidence than a long list of small undisclosed startup investments.
The next phase of humanoid investing may favor investors that can create customers, not just introductions. EQT's framework for bringing 1X robots into hundreds of portfolio companies is an early example of an investor turning an existing operating network into a distribution advantage.
Industrial investors are therefore moving up the hierarchy. As humanoids leave research labs, access to factories, warehouses and production workflows becomes a scarce asset, and companies such as Schaeffler, Bosch, Mercedes-Benz and John Deere can provide something traditional venture funds usually cannot.
The ranking is still unusually fluid. IDG is expanding across several Chinese leaders, Tether became a major European robotics investor through NEURA almost overnight, and large rounds are reshaping cap tables fast enough that today's number-ten investor could look much more important a year from now.

What should “top investor” mean in humanoid robotics?
For humanoid robotics, we think a top investor is one that picked strong companies early, kept backing them as the stakes rose, and can still help those companies reach customers, factories or compute today.
Looking only at dollars invested gives a distorted answer. A fund that leads a Series A before the market becomes fashionable has made a much harder call than an institution buying into a billion-dollar late-stage round. The same applies to strategic investors. Amazon can give a robotics startup access to logistics environments. Nvidia can provide the compute and software stack used to train robots. Mercedes-Benz can put humanoids inside factories. Those contributions can be worth more than another financial investor writing a slightly larger check.
We therefore care most about three things that keep showing up in the evidence: whether the investor got into an important humanoid company early, whether it came back for later rounds, and whether it has exposure to several credible robot makers rather than one fashionable name.
That produces a very different leaderboard from simply ranking the largest funding announcements.

Why are investors putting so much money into humanoid robots right now?
Humanoid robotics funding is exploding right now, with investors committing more capital in a few months than the sector used to attract over several years.
Dealroom's living humanoid robotics tracker had already counted $8.7 billion of venture investment in 2026 through late July. That was nearly twice the entire 2025 total, with several months of the year still left. The wider robotics market is moving in the same direction: Crunchbase calculated that robotics startups had raised $18.8 billion by June, already above the $15 billion raised during all of 2025.
The size of individual humanoid rounds has changed just as dramatically. NEURA Robotics announced a Series C of up to $1.4 billion. Apptronik expanded its Series A to more than $935 million. XPeng's newly financed robotics business recently raised more than $900 million in its first outside round.
Those are financing rounds that would have looked extraordinary for robotics only a few years ago. These days investors are treating humanoids as one of the main ways AI could move from software into physical work.
Funding enthusiasm is still ahead of commercial proof. Counterpoint Research recently estimated that global humanoid shipments exceeded 22,000 units in the first half of 2026, up almost 300% year over year, but more than 60% still went into entertainment, performance, research and data-production uses. Manufacturing accounted for 13% and warehousing and logistics for 5%.
The money has arrived faster than the end market. That gap is one reason picking the right investor matters so much.
As this chart shows, and as featured in our humanoid robotics market deck, search interest in where to buy robots has been rising steadily
Is humanoid robotics funding already concentrated in a few companies?
Humanoid robotics funding is already heavily concentrated, and investors are increasingly competing to get into the same small group of companies.
Dealroom found that Figure and NEURA had each raised more than $1.5 billion since 2020, while only twelve humanoid companies had accumulated funding war chests above $380 million. Hundreds of startups may now describe themselves as humanoid or embodied-AI companies, but the amount of capital available to the leaders sits in a completely different range.
The concentration is especially visible in the U.S. Figure and Apptronik have attracted unusually deep groups of technology companies, venture funds and industrial investors. In Europe, NEURA has assembled Amazon, Nvidia, Bosch, Schaeffler, Qualcomm, Tether, Lingotto and the European Investment Bank around one company.
China has more companies receiving serious capital, although the money is concentrating there too. X Square recently said its valuation had passed $2.8 billion after four consecutive financings. RobotEra raised more than $200 million in a round led by SF Group with HSG and IDG Capital. Galaxea AI raised roughly $291 million after already completing another large round earlier in the year.
So the investor question becomes more useful when we ask who repeatedly gets access to that upper tier. A long list of small robotics bets does not carry the same weight as meaningful positions in two or three companies that keep attracting capital and customers.
Which investors have the broadest humanoid robotics portfolios today?
Amazon, Alibaba, Nvidia, HSG and IDG Capital currently have some of the strongest multi-company positions in humanoid robotics.
The interesting part is how different these portfolios are. Amazon and Nvidia have concentrated on a few major Western companies. Chinese investors such as Alibaba and HSG have spread themselves across a much larger and faster-moving domestic startup population.
We only count direct exposure to companies building humanoid or general-purpose embodied robots here. Investing in a robot-foundation-model company can strengthen an investor's position, but we do not treat that as equivalent to backing a humanoid manufacturer.
| Investor | Humanoid or embodied-robot companies we can verify | What stands out |
|---|---|---|
| Amazon / Amazon Industrial Innovation Fund | Agility Robotics, Figure, NEURA Robotics | Three major Western platforms plus access to Amazon's logistics network |
| Alibaba | Unitree, X Square, XPeng Robotics | Broad exposure to several of China's highest-profile robot companies |
| Nvidia | Figure, Agility Robotics, NEURA Robotics | Direct investments combined with a much wider robotics compute ecosystem |
| HSG / HongShan | Unitree, X Square, RobotEra | Repeated investments across several Chinese leaders |
| IDG Capital | X Square, RobotEra, XPeng Robotics | Rapidly expanding portfolio with recent lead-investor activity |
| Meituan | Unitree, X Square | Early positions in two companies that later attracted major follow-on capital |
| Schaeffler | Agility Robotics, NEURA Robotics, Humanoid | Investor and potential industrial customer at the same time |

Did Parkway make the best early U.S. humanoid robotics bet?
Parkway Venture Capital has the strongest claim to the best early U.S. humanoid robotics bet because it backed Figure before the current funding rush and then led the company again after its valuation had exploded.
Parkway led Figure's $70 million Series A in 2023. Reuters reported at the time that a source close to the company valued Figure at more than $400 million. Two years later, Parkway led Figure's Series C, which closed above $1 billion at a $39 billion post-money valuation.
That takes the headline company valuation from roughly $400 million to $39 billion, or close to a 100-fold increase.
We cannot translate that directly into Parkway's investment return because its ownership, dilution and exact terms are private. Still, very few humanoid investors can point to such a large change between their early entry point and the company's later institutional valuation.
Parkway also deserves credit for coming back. Plenty of investors get lucky with a small early allocation and disappear as later rounds become more expensive. Parkway did the opposite and led again.
Its weakness is obvious: Figure drives almost the entire humanoid story for Parkway. Amazon, Alibaba and Nvidia have more ways to win. Parkway made the purer venture bet.

Is Amazon the strongest strategic investor in humanoid robotics?
Amazon currently looks like the strongest strategic humanoid robotics investor in the West because it owns exposure to several leading companies and can give robots somewhere useful to work.
Amazon's Industrial Innovation Fund invested in Agility Robotics years before the current boom. Amazon later tested Agility's Digit at one of its research and development facilities. The fund then joined Figure's $675 million financing, and Amazon also appeared among the investors in NEURA Robotics' latest round.
That gives Amazon direct exposure to three very different approaches. Agility is focused heavily on industrial work and already has commercial deployments. Figure is pursuing a more general-purpose humanoid and its own embodied-AI stack. NEURA is building a broader family of cognitive robots alongside its humanoid program.
Amazon also controls one of the world's largest logistics systems. Warehouses and fulfillment centers contain exactly the kind of repetitive physical jobs where early humanoids have the best chance of producing measurable economic value.
That gives Amazon more weight than a typical corporate investor with three robotics positions. Its operating business can help answer the question every humanoid startup eventually faces: who will actually use thousands of these machines?
Alibaba may now have the broader portfolio in China. Nvidia has more influence over the underlying technology stack. Amazon still has the strongest combination of investing and potential deployment among Western companies.

Does Nvidia win even if it backs the wrong humanoid robot company?
Nvidia has built the best hedge in humanoid robotics because it can make money from the sector even when another investor picks the winning robot manufacturer.
Nvidia has invested directly in Figure, Agility Robotics and NEURA Robotics. Its much larger advantage comes from the technology underneath the robots. Nvidia's own robotics materials have featured companies including 1X, Agility, Apptronik, Boston Dynamics, Figure, Fourier Intelligence, Sanctuary AI and Unitree using parts of the company's Isaac, Omniverse, Jetson and robot-learning ecosystem.
That creates two layers of exposure. Nvidia owns stakes in selected companies while selling infrastructure into a much larger group of competitors.
The approach resembles Nvidia's position in generative AI. The company does not need one model provider to dominate every market. Heavy training, simulation and inference demand across many companies can still expand Nvidia's business.
Humanoid robotics is particularly suited to that strategy. Robot developers need enormous amounts of simulated experience, real-world training data and inference compute before the machines become reliable. Every new entrant creates another possible customer for the infrastructure layer.
For a venture fund, backing the wrong humanoid can wreck the thesis. Nvidia has found a way to participate in the race with much less dependence on a single winner.

Has DCVC's early Agility Robotics bet finally been validated?
DCVC's Agility Robotics investment now looks like one of the strongest long-duration humanoid bets in the U.S. because Agility has finally produced commercial evidence alongside the technology.
DCVC and Playground Global co-led a $20 million Agility round in 2020, when humanoid robotics was still a difficult category to fund. They co-led another $150 million round in 2022, joined by Amazon's Industrial Innovation Fund. DCVC now says it has backed Agility in every financing round since that first investment.
The latest evidence is much more concrete than another robot demo. Agility has agreed to go public through a transaction valuing the company at $2.5 billion before the new money. In SEC-filed transaction materials, Agility said Digit was operating across commercial customer environments including Schaeffler, GXO and Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada. The company also reported more than $300 million of multi-year contracted orders for Digit V5.
Those orders are expected contract value rather than current revenue, and the public transaction still has to close. Even with those caveats, DCVC can now point to something most early humanoid investors still lack: a company moving from laboratory development into contracted deployments.
The investment also predates Figure's creation and the generative-AI boom. That history gives DCVC more credibility on robotics selection than investors that entered only after humanoids became one of venture capital's hottest themes.

Is B Capital the investor most tied to Apptronik's rise?
B Capital is the financial investor most closely tied to Apptronik's rise, and its willingness to keep investing as Apptronik became much more expensive is the strongest part of the story.
B Capital and Capital Factory co-led Apptronik's original $350 million Series A in 2025. Investor demand pushed that initial financing above $400 million. Apptronik then reopened the round with another $520 million extension, taking the total Series A above $935 million.
Bloomberg reported that the newer financing valued Apptronik above $5.5 billion, around three times its valuation during the original Series A.
B Capital participated again alongside Google, Mercedes-Benz and PEAK6. New investors included John Deere, AT&T Ventures and Qatar Investment Authority. That evolving investor group tells us something useful about Apptronik's progress. The company moved from mainly raising growth capital to attracting companies that can contribute AI models, factories, industrial customers and global capital.
Google is particularly important here. Google DeepMind is working with Apptronik on robot intelligence, and Apptronik recently opened Robot Park locations where fleets of Apollo robots collect real-world data in partnership with DeepMind.
B Capital cannot offer that technical infrastructure itself. Its advantage came earlier: it made the concentrated financial bet before Apptronik assembled the much larger strategic coalition around it.
Has EQT found a smarter way to invest in 1X?
EQT has turned its 1X investment into a potential distribution network, which makes the relationship much more useful than a normal venture investment.
EQT Ventures led 1X's $100 million Series B in 2024 after OpenAI Startup Fund had led a $23.5 million financing the previous year. The more unusual development came later, when 1X and EQT created a framework to make as many as 10,000 NEO humanoids available across more than 300 EQT portfolio companies between 2026 and 2030.
Those companies span areas such as manufacturing, logistics, warehousing, facilities and healthcare.
The 10,000 figure needs to be read carefully. Each EQT portfolio company decides independently whether to deploy the robots, so the framework cannot be treated as a firm order for 10,000 units. TechCrunch confirmed that 1X would still need to sign individual agreements with interested companies.
The structure is valuable even if actual deployments finish far below the headline number. 1X suddenly has access to hundreds of operating companies where it can find suitable tasks, run pilots and collect data. A standalone robotics startup would struggle to recreate that.
EQT is effectively using its existing private-equity portfolio as a market-development tool for a venture investment. Few humanoid investors have created anything comparable so far.

Who are the top investors in China's humanoid robotics boom?
Alibaba, HSG, Meituan and IDG Capital currently stand out in China's humanoid robotics market, while Tencent, Xiaomi and several state-backed funds also have serious positions.
China now deserves as much attention as the U.S. investor market. Dealroom calculated that Chinese companies took roughly two-thirds of global humanoid venture funding through late July, up from around one quarter in 2020. Counterpoint recently found that Chinese manufacturers occupied all five top positions in global humanoid shipments during the first half of the year.
The capital structure is also different. Internet companies, automakers, local-government funds, state investment vehicles and traditional venture firms often appear in the same rounds. X Square is a good example. The company says Meituan, Alibaba, ByteDance and Xiaomi each led different financing stages, while HSG invested repeatedly and IDG joined the Series C.
RobotEra's recent financing shows a similar mix. SF Group led a round above $200 million, with HSG and IDG among the financial investors and several industrial and state-linked groups participating alongside them.
| Investor | Important Chinese humanoid bets | Why it stands out now |
|---|---|---|
| Alibaba | Unitree, X Square, XPeng Robotics | Broad Big Tech portfolio across several leading platforms |
| HSG / HongShan | Unitree, X Square, RobotEra | Repeated venture exposure rather than a single strategic bet |
| Meituan | Unitree, X Square | Entered both companies before their latest valuation jumps |
| IDG Capital | X Square, RobotEra, XPeng Robotics | Recently moved into lead-investor territory |
| Tencent | Unitree, XPeng Robotics and other embodied-AI exposure | Large strategic platform with growing robotics interest |
| Xiaomi | Unitree and repeated X Square backing | Combines robotics investing with hardware and manufacturing experience |
Did Meituan make the best early humanoid robotics bet in China?
Meituan may have made the best early institutional humanoid bet in China because its Unitree position became unusually large before the company reached the public market.
Meituan led Unitree's roughly RMB 1 billion financing in 2024. By the time Unitree published its IPO prospectus, entities affiliated with Meituan collectively owned about 9.65% of the company, making them the largest outside institutional shareholder disclosed in the prospectus.
Unitree then completed its Shanghai listing and its shares surged on debut. The Financial Times calculated that the company reached a market value of roughly $51 billion after the initial jump, compared with a private valuation around $1.7 billion in its 2025 Series C.
The apparent multiple needs some care. Meituan invested across earlier financings, the IPO diluted existing shareholders, and public prices can move quickly. The stronger evidence is the ownership itself. A near-10% pre-IPO position in one of the first major publicly traded humanoid companies is a rare outcome for any strategic investor.
Meituan also backed X Square before its latest financing spree. X Square now says its valuation has passed $2.8 billion and that it has completed ten rounds since its founding in late 2023.
So Meituan's robotics record already goes beyond one lucky allocation. It got meaningful exposure to Unitree early and separately backed another company that has become one of China's most heavily financed embodied-AI startups.

Which humanoid robotics investors are gaining ground fastest now?
IDG Capital, Tether and Prime Movers Lab are the humanoid robotics investors whose positions have changed most sharply lately.
IDG has made the biggest jump in breadth. It joined X Square's latest financing, co-led RobotEra's expansion alongside other major investors, and recently led XPeng Robotics' first outside financing. That XPeng round exceeded $900 million and valued the business above $6.3 billion, according to the Wall Street Journal. Tencent and Alibaba also participated.
Tether made a different kind of move by leading NEURA Robotics' huge Series C. NEURA said the financing could reach $1.4 billion and disclosed a group that included Amazon, Nvidia, Qualcomm, Bosch, Schaeffler, the European Investment Bank and Lingotto. S&P Capital IQ estimated a post-money valuation around $7 billion. One round has made Tether a major name in European robotics capital almost immediately.
Prime Movers Lab is earlier in its trajectory. It recently led Humanoid's $152 million Series A at a $1.35 billion post-money valuation. Humanoid says it has now raised $270 million in total, while Bosch and Schaeffler also joined the latest round.
We rank IDG highest among these rising investors because it now has several independent bets. Tether has committed far more money to a single company. Prime Movers is taking more early-stage risk, although Humanoid still has much more to prove.
This part of the ranking can move quickly. The older names already have established positions. These three are still building theirs.
Are industrial companies becoming more important than traditional humanoid robotics VCs?
Industrial companies are becoming much more important in humanoid robotics because the next bottleneck is getting robots to work reliably inside real businesses.
Mercedes-Benz invested repeatedly in Apptronik while also working with the company on factory deployments. John Deere later joined Apptronik's investor group. Schaeffler has invested across Agility, NEURA and Humanoid while also operating as a robotics customer. Bosch has backed both NEURA and Humanoid.
That overlap between investor and customer keeps appearing.
It makes sense at this stage of the market. A humanoid startup can raise money from dozens of venture firms. Finding a factory willing to redesign a workflow, integrate the robot, train employees, collect performance data and tolerate early failures is harder.
Industrial investors can also tell a robotics company very quickly whether a product is genuinely useful. A robot that looks impressive in a controlled demo can fail on cycle time, uptime, safety, maintenance cost or integration once it reaches a production line.
Traditional VCs still matter most at the beginning. Parkway reached Figure before the giant strategic rounds. DCVC and Playground backed Agility years before today's humanoid boom. B Capital took the early Apptronik financing risk.
Later-stage cap tables increasingly benefit from both groups. The financial investor helps a company survive years of expensive development. The industrial investor helps it find out whether anyone will eventually pay for the machine.
This chart, featured in our humanoid robotics market deck, shows how factory humanoid robot technology has evolved over time
Who are the top humanoid robotics investors today?
Amazon, Alibaba, Nvidia and Parkway currently sit at the top of our humanoid robotics investor ranking, with HSG, Meituan, DCVC, B Capital, IDG and EQT forming the strongest group behind them.
If we have to choose one overall, we would pick Amazon today. Amazon has backed Agility, Figure and NEURA while controlling a huge logistics network where humanoids could eventually be deployed. Few investors combine that level of portfolio quality with such a large potential customer base.
Alibaba is extremely close and may already have the strongest portfolio breadth in China. Its exposure to Unitree, X Square and XPeng Robotics puts it across several of the country's most important platforms at a time when China accounts for most new humanoid funding.
Nvidia is the best picks-and-shovels investor. It has direct equity exposure to several robot companies and sells technology to a much larger part of the industry. Parkway remains our top pure U.S. venture investor because of how early and how aggressively it backed Figure.
Meituan deserves a higher position than its international profile might suggest. Its pre-IPO Unitree ownership and early X Square investment give it one of the strongest realized-looking portfolios in the category. DCVC also ranks highly because Agility is now providing commercial evidence that many newer humanoid companies still lack.
The biggest recent change is China. IDG is rising fast, HSG keeps appearing across high-quality rounds, and the Unitree IPO has given us a public-market reference point for investments that were previously difficult to judge.
The top investors therefore fall into a few very different camps. Amazon and Alibaba have breadth. Nvidia owns infrastructure leverage. Parkway, DCVC and B Capital made concentrated venture calls. Meituan has one of the strongest early China positions. EQT has found an unusually useful way to turn ownership into distribution.
| Rank | Investor | Our current view |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Amazon / Amazon Industrial Innovation Fund | Best overall mix of strong companies and real deployment capacity |
| 2 | Alibaba | Broadest high-quality strategic portfolio in China's humanoid race |
| 3 | Nvidia | Best ecosystem position across both equity and robotics infrastructure |
| 4 | Parkway Venture Capital | Strongest pure U.S. VC bet through its early and repeated Figure investment |
| 5 | Meituan | Exceptional early Unitree position plus X Square exposure |
| 6 | HSG / HongShan | One of the broadest traditional venture portfolios in Chinese humanoid robotics |
| 7 | DCVC | Best long-duration U.S. robotics investor through Agility |
| 8 | B Capital | Key financial investor behind Apptronik's rise |
| 9 | IDG Capital | Fastest-rising multi-company investor right now |
| 10 | EQT Ventures | Most interesting investor-to-distribution model through 1X |
| 11 | Schaeffler | Strong industrial portfolio across Agility, NEURA and Humanoid |
| 12 | Tether | Major new entrant after leading NEURA's giant financing |

OUR METHODOLOGY
There is no clean dataset that tells us who the “best” humanoid robotics investor is. We therefore compared investors across the dimensions that most clearly separate a strong position from a large check: entry timing, follow-on participation, portfolio breadth, what happened to the companies afterward, and strategic advantages that could help those companies reach customers, factories or compute.
We gave early investments more weight than late-stage participation when the evidence showed that the investor took meaningful risk before humanoid robotics became a heavily financed category. We also looked for repeat conviction: an investor returning in later rounds tells us more than a small early allocation that was never followed up.
Portfolio breadth was judged using direct exposure to companies building humanoid or general-purpose embodied robots. Investments in robot-foundation-model companies, AI infrastructure or adjacent automation businesses can strengthen an investor's position, but we did not count them as equivalent to direct ownership in a robot manufacturer.
We also looked beyond financing announcements. Commercial deployments, contracted orders, customer relationships, disclosed ownership, public-market valuations and access to operating environments were used where they helped distinguish one investor from another.
Strategic investors were assessed differently from conventional venture funds when appropriate. Amazon's logistics network, Nvidia's robotics compute and software ecosystem, Mercedes-Benz's manufacturing footprint, Schaeffler's industrial operations and EQT's portfolio-company network can create value that would disappear in a simple dollars-invested ranking.
The comparison was not reduced to a mechanical points system. Parkway's concentrated early Figure investment, Nvidia's infrastructure leverage and Alibaba's multi-company China portfolio are genuinely different kinds of investor advantage, and forcing them into one numerical formula would create more precision than the evidence supports.
Freshness matters unusually strongly in this market. We prioritized recent financing rounds, ownership disclosures, deployment announcements, transaction materials and 2026 funding data because company valuations and investor positions are changing quickly.
Key sources used for the market-level comparison include Dealroom's humanoid robotics funding tracker, Figure's Series C announcement, Parkway Venture Capital on Figure's Series A, Agility Robotics on its 2020 financing, and Agility Robotics on its 2022 Series B.
For commercial and strategic evidence, we used Agility's SEC-filed transaction materials, Amazon's Industrial Innovation Fund materials, Amazon's account of testing Agility's Digit, Nvidia's robotics ecosystem materials, and NEURA Robotics' Series C announcement.
Additional company-level sources include Apptronik on its $935 million-plus Series A, Apptronik on Robot Park and its Google DeepMind collaboration, EQT on its investment in 1X, XPeng on the financing of its robotics business, Tether on leading NEURA's financing, and Schaeffler's materials on its humanoid robotics investments and deployments.
The final ranking is therefore a current judgment based on several types of evidence rather than a permanent league table. We are looking for investors that combined good selection, repeated conviction, credible portfolio exposure and practical leverage at a moment when the humanoid market is still changing very fast.
