robots built by AgiBot in total, by its own count (24 Sep 2026): the most any maker reports
- AgiBotbuilt · all robot forms · as of 24 Sep 202620,000
- Unitree Roboticsbuilt since 2023 · bipedal humanoids · as of 12 Aug 2026~18,000

Each line is the maker's own count, from its announcements or filings, not an analyst estimate. A line steps up when the maker reports and stays flat until its next report; flat does not mean none were made. No maker-reported count on record yet for 1X, Agility Robotics, Apptronik, Boston Dynamics, Tesla and XPENG. Analyst estimates: Fig. 07 and 08.
Robots promised, and what has been reported

Fourier's own latest count: 100+ shipped (GR-1), which counts something else
- Tesla294 days past deadline~10,000 built in 2025
In January 2026 Musk described Optimus as still in R&D. Tesla has not published a 2025 build count; Omdia estimated Tesla shipped 150 humanoid robots in 2025.

Each bar runs to the top of the promise; a tick marks the bottom of a range. A bar fills only with a count of the same thing over the same window, so robots built never fill a promise about robots delivered. No pace verdict: factories ramp up unevenly, and an unreported count is not zero.

- Apptronikno site counted today0
A confirmed site that does not disclose its robots counts as at least one, so totals are lower bounds. A site drops out when its newest evidence is a year old. Makers alone claim robots at 5 more sites (300+ robots where they give a count); those are not counted.
Promises against today
Each line runs from the day a promise was made to its deadline. Orange is time past the deadline with no delivery on record. Statuses update with today's date.

Shares use Omdia's printed total (13,318); the named makers add up to 12,018, and Omdia lists the rest as "others". Figures quoted from Omdia's published report; Omdia does not endorse this site.
First half of 2026
Robots shipped in H1 2026 by the largest makers, as estimated by Counterpoint Research. A different analyst, so not comparable with Fig. 07. Other analysts saw the same half-year differently; the table sets them side by side, never in one series.
