According to statistics from China Humanoid Robot Scene Application Alliance (HRAA), over 14 new humanoid robots were released globally in November 2025, continuing the high-frequency pace of one new product launched every two days on average. China contributed over 9 of these, continuing to lead the world.
Notably, November saw some new players in the humanoid robot field. Russia officially entered the global humanoid robot race, releasing two new models.
Currently, humanoid robots are considered a focal point of the technological competition between China and the United States, with both countries leading the world in investment at the technology, industry, and capital levels. However, in recent months, South Korea and Japan have also been making significant efforts in the humanoid robot field, establishing national-level industry alliances. With Russia joining the fray, humanoid robots have become the “space race” of the new era.
