Neither platform leads on the weighted specifications; the choice comes down to which dimensions matter for the job.
Left out because at least one manufacturer does not publish a figure: price, degrees of freedom, payload, max speed and battery life.
Tiangong Ultra
Tiangong Ultra is a full-size humanoid developed by the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center. It has appeared in public running and endurance events. The center has not published a full specification sheet, and the 100 m time reported for 2026 could not be confirmed from a primary source, so it is not listed here.
Vesoma 1
Vesoma's first humanoid prototype, built by a Munich- and Limassol-based team founded in December 2025. Vesoma has said its first prototypes walk; it has not published specifications, a price or a sales date.
