Humanoid robots are on the rise, and I would like to illustrate just how much by providing an overview of the companies working on humanoid robots. Wikipedia defines a humanoid robot as follows:
The term humanoid can basically be applied to anything that resembles a human being but is not one. As long as it has a head, a torso, two arms and two legs, and walks upright, the term humanoid is applicable.
The definition of humanoid robots in Wikipedia limits them to bipeds, but for our purposes I am broadening the definition to include robots on wheeled platforms.
For my (German) book Homo Syntheticus: How Humans and Machines Are Merging, which was published in 2026, I compiled a comprehensive list of manufacturers and their robots, which, as is the nature of the subject, remains incomplete.
Here is the list of manufacturers, their humanoid robots, and the country of origin:

A list is one thing, but I have also tried to compile an overview of all humanoid robots. About two-thirds of the robots are so-called bipeds, while the rest are robots equipped with wheeled platforms.
And here by country and region:
And finally, a note about my multi-part lecture series on humanoid robots:
