Humanoid robot deployment statistics 2026

Most humanoid robot announcements are not deployments. We grade every robot we track by the strongest evidence we can link to, from a named customer in production down to an announcement with nothing behind it yet. The counts below are that grading, nothing else.

T1 · Deployed

13 robots22% of the catalogue

A customer, or arms-length press, confirms the robot doing real work in production.

T2 · Piloting

1 robot2% of the catalogue

A named organisation is running a pilot, trial or paid evaluation, reported by a source we can link to.

T3 · Demoing

34 robots58% of the catalogue

Independent coverage exists — demos, launches, benchmarks — but no customer has been named.

T4 · Announced

11 robots19% of the catalogue

Nothing beyond the manufacturer's own announcement has been recorded yet.

Per-robot evidence, with every dated source, is on the Reality Index. The grading rules are on our methodology page.
