Interest in humanoid robots continues to grow, as does the number of manufacturers. In my overview<\/a>, I have already identified well over 200 manufacturers, who together have more than 300 models on the market or in development. But manufacturing individual models and bringing them into mass production are two entirely different matters. <\/p>\n\n

That\u2019s why the rapid succession of announcements from three manufacturers regarding their factories was so exciting. Over the past few days, Tesla, Figure.AI, and 1X Technologies have all announced either the groundbreaking of new factories, the conversion of existing ones for humanoid production, or the start of production with a gradual ramp-up. Let\u2019s take a closer look at each of these three manufacturers: <\/p>\n\n

On April 29, 2026, Figure.AI released initial figures<\/a> showing how the first 350 Figure 03 robots had been manufactured at the facility in San Jos\u00e9, California, known as BotQ. From an initial rate of one humanoid per day just under four months ago, the production rate has dropped to one per hour. That same week, the company produced 55 humanoid robots. <\/p>\n\n
