What counts as Humanoid robots

A company joins this map when its own site describes Humanoid robots as its main product and an independent source confirms it. Out of scope: robot-arm, quadruped and vehicle makers whose humanoid is a side project; humanoid units inside large groups (Tesla Optimus, Xiaomi, XPeng, Boston Dynamics under Hyundai); companies acquired by such groups or shut down; and robot foundation models sold for any body. Definitions are versioned; this is version 1. Corrections need a public source: see Contact.
