# Profiles A, merge 09

This is the assigned 20-company slice of the wider humanoid-robot mapping project. The JSON table is keyed by the exact company string and preserves every item-row field and value. `funding_usd` is the item’s disclosed-round total or partial total, rather than a comparable lifetime total in every case; the funding notes give each inclusion rule. `null` means the item supplied no numeric value. The `issues` array follows the rows.

The handoff identified source reread or support failures for 11 rows but did not identify all affected URLs or distinguish inaccessible pages from pages that lack the quoted claim. The warnings below retain those counts without declaring an unverified URL nonexistent. In the arithmetic audit, the numeric `funding_usd` values match the included rounds and the conversion or rounding rules written in their notes. None of the three non-null `units_shipped` values is described by its item as an order, preorder, capacity, or target; their coverage and precision differ.

## Who is ahead in this 20-company slice

This is an evidence-weighted ranking as of the supplied rows’ dates. It puts completed humanoid deployment and productive work first, then disclosed funding and model breadth. A published order, capacity, or mixed-portfolio count does not stand in for completed humanoid shipments.

1. **TARS Robotics** — The strongest combination of funding and industrial use in this slice: the row retains USD 697000000 of disclosed rounds, while reporting identified a delivery of 15 robots to one Suzhou auto factory for wire-harness tasks. The 15 is a site-specific figure with unspecified models, so it cannot serve as a company-wide humanoid shipment total. [Factory delivery and financing report](https://finance.sina.com.cn/wm/2026-04-16/doc-inhusvkh1643727.shtml).
2. **Yobotics** — The clearest published commercial humanoid shipment figure: nearly 100 during 2025, mainly for teaching, cultural tourism, and exhibitions. Its 2026 target of 1,000 covers several robot types and is excluded from shipped units. This supports commercial reach, with less evidence here of sustained industrial work than TARS. [Jinan Daily report on the city government site](https://innovation.jinan.gov.cn/col/col121548/art/2026/art_cb598e5e71014e239bc75c657376b43e.html).
3. **Spirit AI** — The largest retained disclosed-round USD total in these rows, 831984838, and a Reuters report says tens of Moz1 robots were deployed at CATL and JD.com. There is no exact humanoid shipment count, and six source checks in the handoff failed; the row’s April funding citation also points to a June announcement. Its position therefore depends more on financing and reported deployment than verified unit scale. [Reuters republication](https://indianexpress.com/article/technology/tech-news-technology/chinese-robot-brain-startup-sees-chatgpt-style-breakthrough-as-soon-as-next-year-10885799/lite/), [April funding report](https://www.caixinglobal.com/2026-04-08/chinese-robotics-startup-spirit-ai-raises-145-million-102431806.html), [June company announcement](https://www.spirit-ai.com/news/34).
4. **Zerith** — A named delivery of three ZERITH-H1 wheeled humanoids to a Malaysian laboratory is narrower but more concrete than a preorder or production plan. The item supplies no cumulative count, and its funding sources conflict on the scale of a round. [EqualOcean delivery report](https://equalocean.com/news/2026070722006-hefei-zerith-delivers-humanoid-robots-malaysia-marking-first-overseas-shipment/amp), [36Kr Japan funding report](https://36kr.jp/370082/), [Yicai funding report](https://www.yicaiglobal.com/news/chinese-robotics-startup-zerith-bags-tens-of-millions-of-us-dollars-in-angel-funds).
5. **ROBOTERA** — Its retained USD 758454956 disclosed-round figure and L7/Q5 humanoid portfolio show substantial financing and product breadth. This slice cannot establish a humanoid-only shipment count. [March financing and product report](https://eu.36kr.com/zh/p/3709666119479682), [April financing report](https://m.caixin.com/m/2026-04-27/102438245.html).
6. **X Square Robot** — Its retained USD 577049761 total and Quanta X2 plus WALL-A model work put it among the better financed technical contenders. The company describes early deployment of Quanta X1 but gives no completed humanoid-unit count in this slice; one source check in the handoff failed. [Company history](https://x2robot.com/en/about), [Series B report](https://www.36kr.com/p/3774502008963841).

The remaining rows have no exact, attributable humanoid shipment count in the supplied items, or only a partial funding figure. `funding_usd: null` for RoboScience, Wujie Robotics, Yuequan Bionics, and Yunmu Intelligent Manufacturing means the items did not establish a defensible USD total; it does not mean zero funding. The ranking is limited to these 20 assigned companies and cannot establish a worldwide leader.
