The Humanoid Foundation Models Report – Single User License
$ 312
The intelligence layer of humanoid robots is being rebuilt – from vision-language-action models to predictive world models. This 99-page report maps the new architectures, independently scores the 40 foundation models that matter, and asks – soberly – when the technology will actually be reliable.

Description
Humanoid foundation models are being rebuilt
Humanoid foundation models – the systems that turn perception into action – are shifting from vision-language-action (VLA) models to predictive world models that learn how an environment changes and let a robot imagine the consequences of an action before it takes it. This 49-page report maps that shift from end to end.
It sets the genuine advances against the unsolved failures – hallucination, drift, the sim-to-real gap and new alignment risks – and dates the turn: when these systems become reliable enough to deploy. You get the architectures, the players, the compute and the geopolitics behind them, with a sober read on capability, safety and timing.
Inside the humanoid foundation models report
- 100 pages, 24 chapters and 16 figures
- The Brain Score directory: all 40 foundation models, each independently rated 0–10 across ten capability dimensions
- From VLAs to world models: the four architectural paradigms, JEPA and generative simulators
- The players: NVIDIA’s platform, the challengers, the humanoid makers and China’s state-backed scale
- Compute, data moats, geopolitics, benchmarks, safety and the business & investment outlook
- Base-case scenarios and a playbook for the 2026–2030 window
The directory scores models from NVIDIA and Meta AI through to the fast-moving Chinese and open-source challengers, so you can compare the whole field at a glance. For the wider market picture, see our Humanoid Robot Market Report and browse the full foundation models directory.
