## issues

**Funding reconciliation.** Dreame's two included USD amounts reconcile exactly; Haier's three stated USD amounts reconcile exactly, although their evidence has limitations below. Midea's total repeats its one stated USD listing amount. CRP and DOBOT reconcile to the input's whole-dollar totals using the rates and amounts in their notes; their underlying fractional results make these explicitly approximate/rounded totals, not exact unrounded USD sums. No row is demonstrated to have an unexplained arithmetic mismatch. EFORT cannot be fully reconciled from its note alone because the individual historical conversion rates are omitted. HONOR's lower-bound treatment is a substantive qualification, below. These are audit comparisons only; the table values remain untouched. Null funding is unknown or excluded by scope, never zero; historical rounds expressly excluded by a note are not included when evaluating its stated total.

**Shipment integrity.** All 20 `units_shipped` values are null. Consequently no populated shipment cell is an order, pre-order, capacity, or target. BYD's two-to-three robots per dealership is a deployment plan, not deliveries; ByteDance's over-1,000 robots are non-humanoid AMRs; CRP's 300 embodied robots are broader than humanoids; DOBOT's portfolio shipment totals are cobots/other robots. The respective row notes already exclude these numbers. Null is not evidence that no robot was shipped. In particular, AMAP's note asserts no shipments from no unveiling; treat that negative assertion as unverified, not as a measured zero.

**Prior source warnings.** The assignment reports failed source rechecks for the following rows. Counts identify affected sources, not failed claims, and the assignment did not identify which individual URLs failed. Every flagged row is retained exactly; no unsupported detail is silently corrected. Fresh reachability checks do not establish that a source says everything attributed to it.

| Company | Previously flagged sources | Consequence for use of the row |
|---|---:|---|
| BYD | 3 | Recruitment evidence does not establish a 2026 commercial model or shipments. Xiao Di remains a reported, unconfirmed name; showroom plans are not deliveries. |
| Xiaomi | 1 | CyberOne is a 2022 demonstrator. This merge does not independently establish that no later model exists; parent funding is missing. |
| HONOR | 1 | D1 has a readable company page, but funding uses a threshold as a point estimate; see below. |
| ZTE | 1 | The main model-family article timed out in this merge; the hardware names and 2026 debut remain inherited, unverified details. |
| Tencent | 2 | Robotics X model evidence is readable, but parent founding URL has inconsistent retrieval results; see URL audit. |
| Midea Group | 1 | Readable MIRO U report describes a factory pilot, not external shipments. Funding is a partial parent-company listing total. |
| Haier Smart Home | 1 | Teleoperation and development-stage claims do not show a shipping product. Funding includes unverified FX and unverified placement closing. |
| Hisense Visual Technology | 1 | Harley is attributed to Hisense brand/group; the named listed subsidiary's responsibility is not established by that branding. |
| Dreame Technology | 3 | Research-stage ECHO P1 is readable in company-issued material; funding remains partial company-wide proceeds, not humanoid funding. |
| CRP Robot | 7 | Company biped announcement and filing URLs load; this does not certify every filing amount. FX pages were blocked, and 300 embodied robots cannot become humanoid shipments. |
| DOBOT | 9 | Company delivery announcement loads and supports an unspecified first batch, not a numerical humanoid shipment count. Filing URLs return PDF documents, not independent validation of every financing claim. |
| EFORT Intelligent Robot | 6 | Company yobot announcement loads; historical FX cannot be reconstructed from the note alone, and valuation source is blocked. |
| Estun Codroid | 3 | Historical financing is intentionally excluded under division scope; ownership/acquisition claims remain subject to the prior source warning. |

**Further row-specific funding and attribution issues.**

- **HONOR:** `funding_usd = "1524622656"` converts exactly CNY10bn (before rounding), while its own note says **more than** CNY10bn. It is therefore a converted threshold/lower-bound approximation, not the actual sum of a precisely disclosed round. Round date is unknown; report-date FX is substituted. The source's “seeks new funding” context also requires care about completed versus prospective capital. Source: the row's [Business Times report](https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/startups-tech/technology/chinas-no-2-phone-maker-seeks-new-funding-ahead-2022-ipo-sources) and [CNFIN FX page](https://www.cnfin.com/hs-lb/detail/20220426/3593213_1.html). No correction is made.
- **Haier Smart Home:** Arithmetic of the included USD components agrees, but the note explicitly says the 1989 rate is not stated by the source, KKR's final closing amount was not verified, and 1993 proceeds/later issues are missing. The AVCJ source returned HTTP 429 here. Its total is incomplete and partly unverified, not a clean audited lifetime funding figure. The [D-share IPO adviser page](https://www.cliffordchance.com/news/news/2018/10/clifford-chance-beraet-bankenkonsortium-bei-boersengang-von-qing.html) loads; it does not resolve the other gaps.
- **Midea Group:** Earlier A-share funding is excluded, so the total covers only the specified H-share raise. Its note's cross-check describes 566m shares at HK$54.80 as HK$30.7bn; those exact quantities do not multiply to that stated value. Treat that cross-check as internally inconsistent; the preserved USD total is attributed to [IFR](https://www.ifre.com/ifr-awards/1442978/hong-kong-equity-issue-midea-groups-hk35.7bn-hong-kong-listing), not recomputed from the cross-check.
- **EFORT Intelligent Robot:** Original-currency rounds and dates are enumerated, but individual daily/monthly FX values are not; the USD total is not independently reproducible from that note alone. The FRED historical-rate URL failed and Investing valuation was blocked. No mismatch is asserted without those rates.
- **DOBOT / CRP Robot:** Rounding is declared in the original notes. DOBOT's aggregate pre-IPO RMB conversion uses one prospectus rate rather than each historical round date. CRP substitutes an announcement date for the missing B agreement day. These methodological differences and blocked CRP rate pages limit cross-company precision.
- **Dreame Technology:** B+ and C only; undisclosed rounds and the unverified proposed Pre-IPO financing remain excluded. Company-wide cleaning-appliance funding must not be presented as money raised for ECHO.
- **Scope and missing values:** Xiaomi, ZTE and Hisense have uncompiled public-company funding. Division rows exclude parent capital; BYD, Tencent, AMAP and ByteDance founding years refer to the parent/predecessor. Estun deliberately excludes historical raises; Robbyant excludes proposed financing and registered capital. Chengdu has no verified official website. CETC, NORINCO and AVIC lack comparable funding and shipment disclosures. These gaps remain in the original notes.
- **AMAP / ByteDance:** Retained boundary cases, not established humanoid hardware vendors: AMAP's humanoid release is software, and the ByteDance source calls ByteMini a bimanual mobile robot rather than humanoid. See their original source fields.

## URL audit

On 2026-11-04, all 124 distinct URLs in the input `sources` lists were opened with curl following redirects and a Mozilla user agent. HTTP 403 responses were tried three times, a few seconds apart. The remaining endpoints returned HTTP 200, with PDF signatures checked for PDF responses; this is a reachability check, not full fact verification. Selected product pages were also read through the web tool for the assessment below. No numerical funding or shipment field was replaced from those checks.

No URL is conclusively established here as an invented/nonexistent page. The exceptions below are access failures or inconsistent responses; a blocked source is not automatically a nonexistent source. Tencent is the explicit direct-404 case, with conflicting cached evidence. Every inaccessible endpoint remains visible rather than silently dropped:

- <https://cn.investing.com/equities/efort-intelligent-equipment> — HTTP 403.

- <https://www.tencent.com/en-us/about.html.html> — HTTP 404; direct page title “Page not found - Tencent”, but web-tool cached content gives Tencent's 1998 founding. Do not treat the malformed-looking suffix alone as proof of fabrication.
- <https://www.weforum.org/organizations/dreame-technology> — HTTP 403.

A reachable page may still not support its attributed claim. This is not full passage-by-passage revalidation.

## Who is ahead within these 20 profiles?

Provisional analyst judgment: commercialization first, then application evidence. Mixed funding scopes and missing shipment counts prevent a quantitative scale ranking.

1. **DOBOT — strongest disclosed delivery evidence in this subset.** Its own announcement says the first ATOM batch was delivered at the Nagoya launch. That is firmer commercial evidence than a future deployment plan, although the company supplies no batch size and this is a self-reported event, not independently audited scale. [Company delivery announcement](https://www.dobot-robots.com/insights/news/dobot-debuted-global-delivery-of-humanoid-robot.html).
2. **EFORT — strong application demonstration; commercial scale unresolved.** Its company report describes the yobot family and an autonomous multi-robot shelf-stocking demonstration; it also says the wheeled W2 was serving a hospital. Those are concrete application signals, but the hospital example is wheeled, the stocking evidence is a demonstration, and neither establishes biped shipment volume. The input's small-batch-sales claim carries the earlier source warning. [Company developer-conference report](https://www.efort.com.cn/index.php/news/newsdetail/539.html).
3. **Midea / Robbyant / CRP — tied application-development tier.** Midea's MIRO U has an identified internal factory pilot, Robbyant's R2 has a documented indoor service platform, and CRP has a company-announced biped aimed at industrial work. These establish concrete hardware/application directions but no comparable delivered fleets, paid deployment volumes, uptime or task economics. The evidence does not justify a precise order inside this tier. [Midea pilot report](https://interestingengineering.com/ai-robotics/worlds-first-six-armed-humanoid-robot), [Robbyant manual](https://docs.robbyant.com/zh-Hans/resources/docs/r2/manual), [CRP announcement](https://www.crprobot.com/d/zhanhuihuodong/151.html).

**Remaining companies: no defensible strict order.** Their preserved rows do not provide comparable measured deployment outcomes. HONOR's running demonstrations and Dreame's research-stage ECHO are not shipment evidence; AMAP and ByteDance are adjacent software/research cases. Individual source fields and issues above set the limits of comparison.

The remaining gaps are verified lifetime funding, comparable humanoid-only shipment counts, exact developer attribution in some groups, and passage-level validation of previously flagged sources. Nothing was fabricated to fill those gaps.
