A grounded assessment of India’s robotics startup ecosystem, evaluating Peer Robotics, Addverb, Genrobotic, Miko, and peer firms against shipping milestones, pilot deployments, and verifiable pricing. Hardware-first grading applied.

A grounded assessment of the three legacy industrial robot manufacturers, evaluating their current shipping hardware, verified deployment patterns, service infrastructure, and Indian market availability based on manufacturer specifications and independent reporting.

A grounded assessment of Tesla’s Optimus development trajectory, hardware milestones, deployment grading, and India market implications.

A grounded evaluation of Unitree Robotics’ quadruped and humanoid platforms, graded by shipped hardware, actuator integration, and verified deployment data. Includes India availability status and landed cost estimates.

A grounded assessment of Agility Robotics’ Digit platform, graded by shipped hardware, Amazon pilot deployments, and manufacturing status, with explicit notes on India market availability and landed cost estimates.

A factual assessment of Figure AI’s humanoid robotics progress, graded by shipped hardware, operational pilots, and public announcements. Covers Figure 02 specifications, manufacturing scale, pilot deployments at BMW and Amazon, strategic backing from OpenAI, Microsoft, and Nvidia, and India market availability with pricing considerations.

A factual assessment of Boston Dynamics’ current hardware portfolio, corporate structure, and operational reality post-Hyundai acquisition, with explicit grading of claims, India market availability, and pricing.

A grounded assessment of shipping inspection drone platforms, deployment realities, and regulatory compliance for infrastructure monitoring in India, focusing on ideaForge and Skydio hardware, payload ecosystems, and landed cost estimates.

An evidence-based review of defence robotics capabilities, focusing on DRDO’s deployed systems, Boston Dynamics Spot’s operational use cases, and the commercial UGV landscape available to Indian defence and security forces.
Humanoid launches, deployments, funding and India-focused coverage - in one place.






Humanoid robotics is one of the most exciting fields in tech - and also one of the noisiest. We cover what is shipping, what it costs, and how it actually behaves in the real world. Especially in India.
