Seven thousand humanoid robots were sold worldwide last year, IFR information confirms. These robots were mainly used in professional services industries and industrial settings worldwide.
Currently, their sales share in the global robot market is still small.
IFR defines humanoid robots by human-like appearance and working autonomously in human environments. Most robots are not always bipedal but need to function in human spaces.
Many were purchased by research organizations and companies to develop artificial intelligence models. Automotive manufacturers remain major users, conducting pilot applications in their factory environments globally.
