From humanoids and ROS to rescue robotics automation and robot soccer the second half of 2026 looks like a full world tour for robotics builders.
Humanoid robots are still a tiny market today, with roughly 23,000 units in service.
The curve gets serious after 2030.
2030: ~1M
2040: 53M to 300M
2050: 650M to 1B
2060: up to 3B
If even the low projection happens, factories, homes, logistics, and care work will look completely different.
