5 Top Humanoid Robotics (2025) by HRRF
1. Tesla - Optimus
Strengths: Powered by Tesla's full stack AI and robotics expertise. Designed for general-purpose tasks with sleek, human-like movement.
Weakness: Still prototype phase; limited rea;-world depoloyment.
2. Figuee AI - Figure 02
Strengths: Commerical-ready humanoid with autonomous reasoning and dexterirty. Backed by top-tier robotics talent.
Weaknesses: High expectations, but limited field testing so far.
3. Agility Robotics - Digit
Strengths: Already working in Amazon warehouses. Desgined for logistics and repetive tasks.
Weaknesses: Not built for conversational or cognitive tasks-purely functional.
