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.
Tesla Optimus Gen 2
Tesla's humanoid robot program. Tesla has not published a specification sheet or a price for any Optimus generation; the numbers once listed here were third-party figures and have been removed.
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.
