Who will win the Clanker War?
China:>China’s strategy mirrors its earlier success in electric vehicles and industrial robots: Mobilize a broad supplier base, incentivize experimentation, and flood the market with models until cost and capability converge. While many Chinese humanoids still lag on dexterity, safety, and uptime, the velocity and breadth of supplier-led innovation, reinforced by government policy, give China the potential to build the four chasm-crossing bridges faster than expected—and to shape global standards through sheer scale.USA:>Compared to China’s supplier-led cost-down model, the North American approach is slower and more capital-intensive. But it reflects a conviction that owning the stack—from actuators to data pipelines—will enable more reliable, certifiable robots in complex brownfield environments where safety, compliance, and performance cannot be compromised.EMEA:>Europe’s greatest advantage lies in its component suppliers and regulatory clarity. Precision drives, actuators, sensors, and safety systems form a strong industrial base. They leverage tactile sensing, proven navigation, embodied AI, and expressive interaction to build trust as much as capability. The EU AI Act (2025) and the EU Machinery Regulation (effective in 2027) provide a certifiable path for deploying humanoids in regulated sectors. This combination positions Europe as a trusted humanoid corridor, even if scaling speed lags China and the United States.https://www.mckinsey.de/industries/industrials/our-insights/humanoid-robots-crossing-the-chasm-from-concept-to-commercial-reality
