Who can actually build robots at scale
Capacity is where the physical-AI story meets the factory floor. A demo is one robot; a business is thousands a year. Below are the production sites on record across humanoids, autonomous vehicles, drones, and service robots, ranked by disclosed annual capacity. Every figure carries its basis: a company- or press-reported number reads differently from an outside estimate, and most makers have a named factory but have put no capacity number on the record at all.
The verdict. Of 30 production sites on record, only 7 put an annual build number on the record. The largest disclosed capacity belongs to Hyundai Motor Group (30,000 units/yr), Yingzhi XBOT (20,000 units/yr), and Figure AI (12,000 units/yr). The rest have a named factory but no stated capacity, which is itself the finding: at-scale robot production is still mostly a plan, not a published number.
