How To Use The Robot Company Directory
Choose a company to see its complete robot lineup, then open any named model for availability and product details.
Use the status labels to separate shipping products from pilots, early-access programs, research platforms, prototypes, and legacy robots. For a cross-company shortlist of what ships today, see robots you can buy now.
Each listing links to official sources and highlights the details buyers and researchers should verify next.
Looking for humanoid robot stock footage, images, or video? Skip stock-photo agencies and go straight to each manufacturer's own press or media page instead. Tesla AI, Figure AI, and Unitree (linked above) all publish real product photography and video that is more current and more accurate than a stock-agency listing.

| Status | What it means | Best next page |
|---|---|---|
| Shipping | A product or sales path is presented | Price, specs, and buyer guide |
| Early access | Limited customer program or preorder | Availability and ownership guide |
| Pilot | Enterprise deployment or trial context | Use-case and deployment review |
| Research / prototype | Development or public demo platform | Evidence and alternatives |
| Legacy | Earlier platform retained for context | History and successor comparison |
More Robot Companies To Explore
Start with the official portfolios from 1X, Tesla, Figure AI, Apptronik, Agility Robotics, Engineered Arts, and Hanson Robotics. Their directory pages then separate named products, availability, and evidence.
The directory includes AGIBOT, UBTECH Robotics, NEURA Robotics, PAL Robotics, Sanctuary AI, Fourier, Leju Robotics, LimX Dynamics, Astribot, Booster Robotics, RobotEra, and Mentee Robotics.
For collaborative robots, compare the product families from Universal Robots, ABB Robotics, and FANUC.
The Unitree and Boston Dynamics listings place humanoids beside quadrupeds and mobile robots so readers can compare the builder’s full portfolio rather than one headline model. For shipping and availability by region, see robotics availability by country.
Construction has its own builders, including Renovate Robotics, whose Rufus fastens asphalt shingles while a human crew works around it.
Why Each Robot Has Its Own Guide
A company overview shows the builder’s full range, while each robot guide explains what a specific platform is for and whether it is actually available. For a side-by-side view, compare humanoid robot prices across companies before you pick one to research further.
This structure prevents a flashy humanoid demo from hiding a company’s more mature quadruped, service, or cobot products.
This makes it easier to compare named robots without mixing their capabilities, availability, or support terms.
Autonomous Robot Companies By Autonomy Type
Autonomous robot companies build machines that work out their own route to a goal, instead of replaying a fixed path. The fastest way to shortlist them is by the kind of autonomy they sell. Six groups cover most real deployments today.
Warehouse fulfilment autonomy moves goods and pickers inside one building. Locus Robotics fields the Origin, Vector, and Array robots under its LocusONE fleet software.
Industrial transport autonomy moves pallets, carts, and totes across a plant floor. MiR, OTTO by Rockwell Automation, Seegrid, and Vecna Robotics all sell vehicles rated by payload.
Outdoor delivery autonomy drives sidewalks and campuses instead of aisles. Starship Technologies runs sidewalk delivery robots at scale, and Serve Robotics runs last-mile food delivery robots.
Mobile manipulation and inspection is a separate job again. Boston Dynamics sells Stretch for case handling and Spot for inspection. Compare its full range on our Boston Dynamics lineup page. Off-road autonomy is different once more. John Deere sells an autonomous tractor for field work.
Retail shelf autonomy is a separate group again. Simbe Robotics runs Tally past shelves to photograph stock instead of moving goods.
Read the autonomous mobile robots guide before you compare vendors. Fleet behaviour, not top speed, decides what an AMR deployment actually delivers.
- Sort candidates by the job first: picking, pallet transport, delivery, or inspection.
- Ask what the fleet software does when two robots meet in a full aisle.
- Confirm whether the vendor sells outright, leases, or only offers robots as a service.
- Check which warehouse or manufacturing system the fleet has to integrate with.

Bottom Line
The directory is a research map, not a promise that every listed robot is available to individual buyers. Confirm status, price, support, and delivery with the official source before treating a listing as purchasable.
Choose a company, then open a specific robot guide for availability, buyer fit, and primary sources.
FAQs
Which robot companies are covered?
The directory covers 24 companies across humanoids, quadrupeds, service robots, mobile manipulators, and collaborative robot arms.
Who makes the best humanoid robot?
No single company makes the best humanoid robot for every buyer, because order path, price status, and task evidence differ sharply across companies. Unitree publishes the clearest public prices, with the Unitree R1 at $4,900 and the Unitree G1 at $13,500, both listed for direct purchase today. 1X has the clearest home order path. The 1X NEO review covers its $499-a-month or $20,000 early-access terms. Agility Robotics leads on task evidence, since Digit already has reported deployment evidence, including a 100,000-tote movement milestone in warehouse pilots. Boston Dynamics and Apptronik come next, with Atlas and Apollo both running enterprise pilots but neither publishing a price or a self-serve order path. Tesla and Figure AI rank last on buyer readiness today. The Tesla Optimus and Figure 03 reviews both show strong demos but no public MSRP and no order path yet.
Are all listed robots for sale?
No. Each offering carries a status label so readers can distinguish shipping products from pilots, research platforms, prototypes, and legacy models.
What is the difference between a company overview and a robot guide?
A company overview shows the full lineup, while a robot guide focuses on one named model’s category, availability, use case, and official source.
Are any of these companies' robots independently safety-tested?
No single robotics-industry-wide independent safety body audits all these companies today. Ask each vendor directly for whatever certification or third-party testing documentation exists for their specific model.
What are autonomous robot companies?
Autonomous robot companies build robots that navigate and decide on their own, without tracks, wire, or tape. Most sell autonomous mobile robots for warehouses and factories. Others sell sidewalk delivery robots, inspection robots, or autonomous farm machines.
Which autonomous mobile robot companies should I shortlist?
Shortlist by the job, not the brand. Locus Robotics suits piece picking, while MiR, OTTO, Seegrid, and Vecna Robotics suit pallet and cart transport. Then test the whole fleet, not one robot.
