Noetix Robotics is Beijing's most price-disruptive humanoid company, producing the N2 at ~$5,500 — less than half the price of any competitor in production. Despite the extreme low price, the N2 achieves 12.6 km/h running, continuous backflips, and completed a half-marathon (21 km in 3h37m). The company raised $145M in its Series B led by CATL in February 2026, reflecting the battery giant's strategic interest in humanoid platforms. 2,500+ pre-orders as of early 2026.
