Humanoid Atlas — Global OEM & Supplier Supply Chain Database
Humanoid Atlas is an open-source, community-maintained supply chain intelligence platform tracking the global humanoid robotics industry. Published at humanoids.fyi and maintained on GitHub under MIT license, it provides structured data on 38 humanoid OEMs and 46 component suppliers across 10 hardware categories including motors, reducers, actuators, screws, bearings, hand units, batteries, sensors, compute modules, and PCBs. Unlike China-focused datasets, Humanoid Atlas provides global coverage including US suppliers such as Harmonic Drive LLC and Parker Hannifin, alongside leading Chinese players. All OEM-supplier relationships are confidence-rated as confirmed, likely, or speculative with source citations from SEC filings, academic papers, and direct company disclosures. The dataset also tracks 19 Vision-Language-Action models, creating a bridge between hardware supply chain data and robot AI software stacks. Data is structured in TypeScript files in the GitHub repository and is fully exportable. As of April 2026 the platform covers 13,323 units shipped in 2025 across tracked OEMs.

What is it?
Humanoid Atlas is an open-source, community-maintained supply chain intelligence platform tracking the global humanoid robotics industry. Published at humanoids.fyi and maintained on GitHub under MIT license by Julian Saks and contributors, it provides structured data on 38 humanoid OEMs and 46 component suppliers across 10 hardware categories. Unlike the China-focused HLM Supplier Database, Humanoid Atlas provides global coverage including US suppliers such as Harmonic Drive LLC and Parker Hannifin alongside leading Chinese players. As of April 2026 the platform tracks 13,323 units shipped across covered OEMs in 2025.
Who is it for?
Humanoid Atlas is designed for robotics industry researchers, investors, journalists, and developers who need a structured, globally-scoped view of the humanoid robot supply chain. It is particularly valuable for cross-OEM comparison — the platform's confidence-rated relationship model (confirmed/likely/speculative) and structured TypeScript data files make it the most research-ready public supply chain dataset available. The MIT license permits unrestricted commercial use.

How it compares
Humanoid Atlas covers significantly more OEMs (38 vs 4) than the HLM Supplier Database, with global rather than China-only scope. HLM has more granular supplier records (124 vs 46) and more detailed relationship notes for its four covered OEMs. Humanoid Atlas adds confidence ratings, VLA model tracking, and MIT licensing that HLM lacks. The two datasets are complementary — HLM for Chinese supply chain depth, Humanoid Atlas for global OEM breadth.
Limitations and access notes
The 46-supplier count is smaller than HLM's 124, with less granular relationship notes for individual OEMs. As a community-maintained project, data quality and update frequency depend on contributor activity. The TypeScript data format requires parsing before use in standard data analysis tools. MIT license permits unrestricted commercial use and modification.
Frequently asked questions
How is Humanoid Atlas different from the HLM Supplier Database?
Humanoid Atlas covers 38 OEMs globally with confidence-rated relationships (confirmed/likely/speculative) and MIT licensing. HLM covers 4 OEMs with more granular Chinese supplier detail (124 suppliers vs 46) but all-rights-reserved licensing and no confidence ratings. Humanoid Atlas has broader OEM coverage; HLM has deeper Chinese supplier detail.
How do I access Humanoid Atlas data?
The interactive platform is at humanoids.fyi. Raw structured data is available on GitHub at github.com/kingjulio8238/humanoid-atlas in TypeScript format (src/data/companies.ts, relationships.ts, components.ts). The data can be exported to JSON or CSV directly from the GitHub files.
Can Humanoid Atlas data be used commercially?
Yes. Humanoid Atlas is MIT licensed, which permits unrestricted commercial use, modification, and distribution. No attribution requirement beyond preserving the license notice.
What are VLA models and why does Humanoid Atlas track them?
VLA stands for Vision-Language-Action — a class of AI models that process visual and language inputs to generate robot actions. Humanoid Atlas tracks 19 VLA models associated with humanoid OEMs, creating a bridge between hardware supply chain data and the AI software stack. This makes it the only public dataset connecting hardware suppliers to the AI models trained on those robots.
How often is Humanoid Atlas updated?
Humanoid Atlas is community-maintained on GitHub and is updated as contributors add new OEM relationships, supplier data, and VLA model information. The project is open to contributions — new data can be submitted via GitHub pull request.
