# Which company is the leader in humanoid robotics?

**There is no single verified leader in humanoid robotics.** Different companies lead different measures. On DEPLOY's record, Figure AI has captured the most private venture funding, Agility Robotics has the most deployments, and Boston Dynamics holds the most catalogued patents. No company leads on all of them, which is why there is no consensus number one. The full scorecard is below, each figure dated and sourced.

Last verified Jul 21, 2026. 681 sources.

## Short answer

There is no single company that leads humanoid robotics, and DEPLOY does not pick one. What we can do is show the record. Different makers lead on different measures, and each is scoped to what is verified on DEPLOY and dated. Figure AI has captured the most private venture funding across dated, sourced rounds. Agility Robotics has the most deployments on the record, and the most that are operational rather than announced. Boston Dynamics holds the most patents that name it as assignee in DEPLOY's catalogue. Others lead on model breadth or on reaching commercial maturity. None of them leads across every measure, so the honest answer is a scorecard, not a crown. The table below ranks every humanoid maker DEPLOY tracks that has a verified funding round, deployment, or patent, with each cell dated and sourced or left honestly blank where the record holds nothing.

## Who leads on what

- **Most private venture funding captured: Figure AI.** $1.75B across 3 disclosed rounds, on DEPLOY's record as of May 26, 2026.
- **Most deployments on record: Agility Robotics.** 11 deployments (9 operational), on DEPLOY's record as of Jun 24, 2026.
- **Most patents catalogued: Boston Dynamics.** 10 patents naming it as assignee, on DEPLOY's record as of Jan 5, 2026.
- **The honest answer: no single leader.** No company leads on every measure, so DEPLOY does not name one overall leader.

## Common questions

### Who leads the world in humanoid robotics?

No single company leads on every measure, and DEPLOY does not crown one. On DEPLOY's record, Figure AI has captured the most private venture funding, Agility Robotics has the most deployments including the most operational ones, and Boston Dynamics holds the most catalogued patents. Each figure is scoped to what is verified on DEPLOY and dated, and the full scorecard shows where every maker stands.

### What are the most promising humanoid robot companies?

Promise is a judgment, so DEPLOY reports the verified signals instead of ranking hype. The companies with the strongest records across funding, deployments, patents, and commercial maturity include Figure AI, Agility Robotics, Boston Dynamics, Apptronik, Unitree Robotics, and UBTech Robotics, each leading on a different measure. The scorecard on this page lets you weigh them on the numbers that are actually on the record rather than on a single ranking.

### What robotics company did Nvidia invest in?

Nvidia's venture arm has backed several humanoid and physical-AI companies, and DEPLOY tracks investor participation on each funding round it holds. Rather than assert an investor edge that is not on the record, the scorecard links each maker to its company page, where the verified funding rounds and their disclosed participants are listed. Where DEPLOY has not verified a specific Nvidia round, the page says so rather than guessing.

### What US companies are building humanoid robots?

US-based humanoid makers on DEPLOY's record include Figure AI, Agility Robotics, Boston Dynamics, Apptronik, Tesla, and 1X Technologies among others, alongside a large field of makers in China and Europe. The scorecard lists each maker with its headquarters and its verified funding, deployments, patents, and maturity, so you can see the US field in the context of the global one rather than in isolation.

### Is Tesla the leader in humanoid robotics?

Tesla builds Optimus, a humanoid robot DEPLOY tracks, and Tesla holds several catalogued patents, but on DEPLOY's record Tesla does not lead the verified measures. It has no private venture funding round on record because it is a public company funding the program itself, and its Optimus deployments and commercial maturity on the record are limited. The scorecard shows Tesla's verified figures alongside every other maker rather than assuming a lead from brand recognition.
