| Analyst Consensus | Mainstream humanoid robot adoption forecasts compressed from a 2030+ horizon to 2026–2028. Roland Berger calls this the "convergence moment"; BofA models a long-term run rate of 3 billion humanoid units. Funding (+288% YoY), production ramps, and sub-$10K pricing are the underlying drivers. | ||||
