// THE GLOBAL RACE

USA vs. China vs. Europe

United States leads on AI and capital — Figure, Tesla, Boston Dynamics, Apptronik, and Agility combine deep funding with frontier learning systems and the first real commercial revenue (Digit). Meta's entry signals a platform play: licensing an AI stack to all hardware makers.

China leads on manufacturing scale and price. Unitree's $13.5K G1 reset the market and the company listed on the STAR Market in August 2026; AgiBot has delivered its 20,000th robot; Honor's marathon-winning Lightning shows how fast consumer-electronics giants can pivot. China accounts for a large and fast-growing share of tracked platforms.

Europe fields a premium contender in NEURA Robotics, whose 4NE1 pairs a 100 kg payload and proximity-sensing skin with an NVIDIA GR00T brain — while Norway's 1X bets on the home with its soft-body NEO.
