An evidence-based breakdown of recent funding rounds for Figure, 1X, Apptronik, Sanctuary AI, and Unitree, graded by shipped units, pilot deployments, and manufacturing scale, with explicit notes on India availability and landed cost estimates.

A measured breakdown of India's robotics market size, graded by shipped hardware, pilot deployments, and announced pilots. Covers pricing in INR, supply chain realities, and the gap between reported valuations and factory-floor deployment.

An evidence-based assessment of India’s robotics manufacturing ecosystem, tracking policy incentives, domestic assembly, verified hardware deployments, and realistic pricing for the Indian market.

A grounded assessment of India’s domestic drone manufacturing landscape, grading ideaForge, Garuda Aerospace, and ePlane by shipping hardware, verified deployments, and current market availability. Covers technical specifications, regulatory tailwinds, and approximate INR pricing for commercial and tactical systems.

An evidence-based assessment of India’s robotics startup ecosystem, evaluating Peer Robotics, Addverb, Genrobotic, and Miko against shipping hardware, pilot deployments, and commercial availability. Includes INR pricing estimates and supply chain realities.

A grounded assessment of ABB, KUKA, and FANUC: their current shipping hardware, India deployment reality, service infrastructure, and approximate landed pricing. Claims are graded by shipped units first, pilot deployments second, and press releases last.

A hardware-first assessment of Tesla's Optimus programme, grading claims by shipped units and pilot deployments, mapping manufacturing progress, and outlining India availability and landed cost expectations.

Unitree Robotics has transitioned from educational robotics to shipping professional quadrupeds and early-access humanoids. This analysis grades Unitree's claims by verified shipping hardware, pilot deployments, and public announcements, evaluates supply chain maturity, and provides landed cost estimates for the Indian market.

A fact-based assessment of Agility Robotics’ Digit humanoid platform, tracking verified shipping hardware, Amazon’s warehouse pilot deployments, and commercial availability. The article evaluates technical specifications against real-world performance, outlines the current state of logistics integration, and addresses India market access with landed cost estimates.
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.
