HUMANOID REALITY INDEX / There's A Robot For That

Last verified 2026-07-31
Index / Humanoid robots with a published price

Which humanoids have a real price?

A price counts here only when it appears on the maker's own product or checkout page, or in a filing. Aggregator numbers, target prices and cost ambitions are not prices. That rule removes most of the figures circulating online.

Tiers and scores are computed from the evidence ledger, not supplied by makers. The use case under each robot is derived from what the evidence shows it doing, not from the maker's positioning. Coverage note: my source base is dominated by English-language reporting, which systematically under-covers Chinese makers; where that distorts a ranking, the robot's own page says so.
