A robot can walk into a room.
The hard part is picking up the wrong object at the wrong angle without breaking it.

• Why this matters
➤ Walking gets attention
Hands decide usefulness
➤ A humanoid needs fingers that can grip tools
hold fragile objects
recover from bad contact
and work for hours without constant repair
➤ The hand is not just an end effector
It is where motors
sensors
materials
control software
and real-world uncertainty collide
The next big humanoid race may be won at the fingertips.
This was the 2025 version
Where humanoid robots are actually deployed
Humanoid robots are not sold like cars yet.
Most companies do not publish regional sales data so this chart tracks only what can be verified:
• commercial deployments
• pilots
• field tests
• research installs
• museum installations
• demos
• preorders
• undisclosed regional activity
The clearest pattern:
• North America has the strongest public industrial evidence
➝ Agility Robotics Digit is deployed with GXO and has been tested with Amazon, Toyota Canada and Mercado Libre in Texas
➝ Figure AI worked inside BMW Plant Spartanburg with Figure 02
➝ Apptronik Apollo is tied to Mercedes-Benz, GXO and Jabil pilots
➝ Sanctuary AI tested Phoenix at a Mark’s retail store in Langley, Canada
➝ Boston Dynamics Atlas is moving into Hyundai field testing
• China has the strongest factory push
➝ UBTECH Walker S robots have public evidence inside BYD and Zeekr factory environments
➝ Unitree sells humanoid platforms like G1, R1, H1 and H2, but regional buyer data is not publicly disclosed
➝ Product availability is not the same as confirmed deployment
• Europe is strong in research, testing and public installations
➝ PAL Robotics TALOS is used in university robotics labs
➝ Engineered Arts Ameca appears in museums and AI exhibits
➝ UBTECH Walker S2 has Airbus early testing, but this is still not a scaled industrial rollout
• Middle East activity is mostly exhibition based
➝ Ameca is publicly installed at Dubai’s Museum of the Future
➝ This is a real deployment, but not a factory or logistics deployment
• Latin America remains mostly empty in public humanoid deployment data
➝ Some companies mention future exploration
➝ Confirmed humanoid deployments are still limited
Important distinction:
• A demo is not a deployment
• A preorder is not a delivery
• A pilot is not a commercial rollout
• Online availability is not regional sales data
• A robot appearing in a video does not prove customer use
• No company here publishes audited regional humanoid sales percentages
Humanoid robots are entering real work, but the map is still early.
North America leads public industrial pilots.
China leads visible factory experimentation.
Europe leads research and public installations.
Most regional sales numbers remain undisclosed.
Sources checked: official company releases, customer announcements, university pages, museum pages and credible business media. Agility and GXO confirmed Digit’s multi-year RaaS deployment at the SPANX facility, BMW confirmed Figure 02 testing at Spartanburg and later reported production support, Apptronik announced Jabil and GXO work, Sanctuary AI confirmed the Mark’s retail pilot, PAL Robotics and Waterloo confirmed TALOS at RoboHub, Boston Dynamics confirms Atlas field testing with Hyundai, Unitree lists humanoid products publicly and 1X says NEO US deliveries start in 2026.
