Figure 03 is Figure AI's current third-generation biped humanoid (5'8", 61 kg, 20 kg payload, 5 h listed runtime, 1.2 m/s) with tactile fingertips, palm cameras and wireless foot charging. Its strongest evidence is a public package-sorting livestream that Figure reports ran 200 hours with 249,560 packages and near-human per-package speed, plus a BMW-confirmed logistics sequencing use case at Spartanburg. Household and dexterity demos (dishwasher, pills, syringe, 56% zero-shot success in 30 homes) are company-published. Autonomy is asserted but not independently audited, BMW has published no Figure 03 output metrics, and the robot is not for sale

Caveat: No price, pre-order, lease or retail channel was found in primary sources

AgiBot G2 is an industrial wheeled humanoid (26-DoF body, 7-DoF force-controlled arms, 5-DOF waist-leg, four-wheel steering) powered by NVIDIA Jetson Thor (up to 2,070 TFLOPS). It is IP42-rated with automotive-grade components and dual hot-swappable batteries for 24/7 use. Strongest evidence includes a named deployment on Longcheer's mass-production line, a company-reported 100 cumulative hours of factory livestream operations, and the 15,000th AgiBot robot being a G2. Launch demos show RAM insertion, logistics sorting with >95% floor adaptation, and guided tours. However height, weight, payload, battery capacity and price are missing, and deployment metrics (310 UPH, 99% success) come from secondary media without independent audit

Caveat: No price, online purchase, lease or waitlist found; only contact sales form on product page

Bosch is the contract manufacturing partner. No public price exists, and most deployments are POCs or early access rather than full commercial operations

Caveat: No public price, purchase path beyond contact sales, or general retail availability was found

Galbot G1 is a 173 cm, 92.5 kg wheeled humanoid mobile manipulator from China with official specs: 5 kg per arm / 10 kg total payload, 8-hour lab runtime, 48 V 30 Ah battery, 1.5 m/s wheeled speed, 21 DoF excluding end effector, NVIDIA AGX Orin 64GB 275 TOPS, and IP54. Galbot claims full autonomy and scaled commercial deployment across retail, warehousing, healthcare, and industry. The strongest named deployment is a Beijing pharmacy that received a medicinal-distribution permit, making G1 the first certified robot pharmacy assistant; Galbot also reports 170+ Space Cabin kiosks and 24/7 warehouse operations. However, industrial partner names are orders not confirmed deployments, no official price or consumer channel exists, and on-the-ground reports show limited autonomy breadth with chip-bag grasp failures. G1 is wheeled, not legged, and no independent benchmark or intervention log is available

Caveat: No official list price or consumer purchase channel. Only a two-unit flash sale on JD.com is documented. Western storefront pri...

Unitree G1 is a current, publicly listed humanoid research platform with strong accessibility evidence and multiple real-hardware research papers. Its commercial deployment proof is weak, and base versus EDU configuration differences must not be merged

Caveat: The base model, EDU model, optional hands, tactile arrays, and secondary-development compute differ materially

1X NEO is a preorder/purchasable home humanoid with unusually detailed official specs and production claims: 5'6", 66 lb, 75 total listed DoF, 22 DoF per hand, 18 lb per-arm payload, 4h runtime, Jetson Thor compute, stereo fisheye cameras, $20,000 Early Access ownership, $499/month subscription, and claimed 2026 U.S. deliveries. Stronger 2026 evidence adds factory production and company-run AI/mobility results, but the decisive caveat remains autonomy: official Expert Mode/remote-control disclosures and WSJ/media hands-on reporting mean household chore completion should not be credited as broad autonomous capability

Caveat: No independent household task benchmark, intervention rate, or fallback-to-Expert-Mode rate was found. Official claims say NEO...

Electric Atlas now has strong company-source evidence for industrial specs, production-version launch, committed 2026 deployments, and Hyundai customer-facility field testing, but public autonomy evidence remains weak because no independent benchmarks or operating metrics were found and AP reported the CES 2026 stage demo was remotely piloted

The Unitree H1 is a full-size bipedal humanoid (about 180 cm, about 47 kg, 18 DoF by Unitree's per-limb counts, 864 Wh swappable battery) sold mainly to research labs through quote-based sales: Unitree's store shows a $90,000 'contact us' anchor and a European distributor lists it from EUR 93,496 excluding VAT. Its strongest public evidence is locomotion and spectacle, including a company-claimed 3.3 m/s record, 1500 m and 400 m golds at the 2025 World Humanoid Robot Games (6:34.40 and 1:28.03) and a second source crediting four track golds, a choreographed 16-robot national broadcast performance, and a company-claimed 10.1 m/s peak from a modified ~62 kg unit. Manipulation is weak: the stock robot ships without hands and with 4-DoF arms, and the manipulation literature (Stanford HumanPlus, CMU H2O) used heavily modified units. Unitree publishes no payload, runtime, failure-rate or deployment metrics; autonomy is asserted for walking and running only; third-party runtime figures conflict (1 h versus 2 h) and no independent benchmark or safety certification exists

Caveat: Unitree publishes no payload for the H1; the 30 kg figure exists only in one directory and the distributor lists the H1 payload...

MagicBot Gen1 is MagicLab's full-size electric humanoid (174 cm, approx 70 kg, 42 active DoF) with optional 11-DoF tactile hands, 3D LiDAR, depth and fisheye vision, and an 8-core CPU + 100 TOPS AI processor. MagicLab lists contact sales and 3-5 hours runtime with 7.5 kg single-arm load. Secondary sources report MagicLab released December 2024 footage of multiple Gen1 robots doing inspection, material handling, assembly and barcode scanning at an unnamed electronics factory, with a researcher saying the robots were still in skill training with human oversight. No named customer or output metrics were found, and third-party resale prices conflict ($119,800-$218,000)

Caveat: MagicLab uses contact sales and has not published a price. Third-party resellers list conflicting prices ($119,800, $120K, $218...

EngineAI T800 is a full-size bipedal humanoid (1.73 m, 75 kg official) with 29 body DoF excluding dexterous hand, 450 N·m peak joint torque, and a claimed 4-5 hour solid-state battery runtime.

Caveat: No named external customer, operating hours, or output metrics were found for T800. Production rollout and mass delivery are an...

Kepler K2 Bumblebee is a commercial industrial humanoid from Shanghai. It is 175 cm, 75 kg, 52 DoF, with 11-DoF hands, a hybrid roller-screw/rotary actuator design, 100 TOPS compute, and a claimed 30 kg dual-arm payload and 8-hour runtime on a one-hour charge. Kepler lists a $30,000 base price or RMB 248,000 and announced mass production and shipments in September 2025. The most concrete positive evidence is a company-described gait video showing the robot walking over bricks, plastic and grass and remaining stable under pushes. Commercial proof is limited: confirmed orders of over 47 million yuan are reported, and an official video title suggests a Zhaofeng Motor on-the-job log, but 2025 revenue was only 4.34 million yuan with heavy losses and the company was acquired at a lower valuation. Autonomy, endurance and manipulation claims are mostly company statements without independent verification; many demo videos are title-only with no teleoperation disclosure

Caveat: No walking speed in m/s was found in any reviewed source

ergoCub is IIT and INAIL's research humanoid, standing 150 cm tall, weighing 55.7 kg, and designed to reduce physical strain on workers in industrial and hospital settings. Its strongest evidence is a peer-reviewed Nature Machine Intelligence figure showing collaborative payload lifting with a human and live walking on stage. Official IIT sources confirm the 2023 debut and ergonomic purpose, while secondary dossiers report about 10 kg load-bearing, NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier plus Intel i7 onboard compute, depth/LiDAR sensing, and research claims such as up to 43% energy reduction and DNN-driven locomotion. However, no battery, runtime, walking speed, total DoF, hand DoF, price, or customer deployment exists in the reviewed evidence; autonomy is mostly simulation-only or title-only

Caveat: No price, lease, or purchase path found. ergoCub is a research prototype and not available to the public

Sophia is a social humanoid robot from Hanson Robotics, activated in 2016, best known for media appearances and lifelike facial expressions. It has a patented Frubber skin, 83 total DoF per Wevolver spec (though overview says 74), 167 cm, 20 kg, and a wheeled base; around January 2018 it was upgraded with functional legs and walking. Its main evidence is in human interaction—over 60 facial expressions, many high-profile interviews, Saudi citizenship, and UNDP title. However, dialogue is largely scripted via decision tree, an insider ethnography says the robot is fragile and operationally unreliable, and no autonomous task demos exist. Hanson Robotics announced mass production plans in 2021, but no public price, named customer deployment, or independent benchmark was found

Caveat: Wevolver says Sophia mostly operates in fully independent AI mode, but Wikipedia and Squarespace say dialogue is scripted via d...

Persona AI Humanoid is a first-generation industrial humanoid prototype from Persona AI (Houston) targeting shipyard welding, fabrication, construction, and energy. It has no published height, weight, payload, runtime, or speed. Evidence includes official claims of modular design and NASA-derived robotic hand technology, an agreement with HD Hyundai for shipyard robots with delivery expected within 18 months, an ABS MOU, and a Louisiana/SSE Steel pilot. The only direct demo evidence is an official video title 'Hand on the Torch: Gen 1 Welds in a Real Industrial Environment'; teleoperation status is not disclosed, and a directory headline reports a teleoperated welding demo. Autonomy is not demonstrated; the company states teleoperation precedes autonomy. No price or RaaS terms are available

Caveat: No height, weight, payload, runtime, battery, walking speed, total DoF, hand DoF, or compute specifications have been published...

PAL Robotics TALOS is a full-size biped humanoid (175 cm, 95 kg) introduced around 2017 and sold to research labs. Official evidence confirms 6 kg per-arm payload, 1.5 h walking runtime, torque sensors in most joints, and EtherCAT control loops up to 5 kHz; ROBOTS guide adds 32 DoF, 1080 Wh battery and approximate €900,000 cost. The robot is ROS-based with an open-source URDF under Apache 2.0. However, reviewed public evidence contains no autonomous task demonstration or capability video content beyond titles, and no commercial deployment metrics

Caveat: No official price or online store found; only approximate cost €900,000 from ROBOTS guide and request-a-quote on official page

Tesla Optimus Gen 1 is an early prototype with limited stage mobility evidence and presentation-reported specs, not a deployed or current robot

Caveat: No independent Gen 1 autonomy benchmark, intervention rate, or raw continuous task run was found in this pass

XPeng Next-Gen IRON has stronger source-backed hardware evidence than the previous weak pack showed: official materials claim 82 total DoF, 22-DoF hands, an all-solid-state battery, bionic spine/muscle/skin construction, and three Turing AI chips at 3000 TOPS. The useful-work case remains weak: public evidence is a controlled stage walking demo plus a roadmap toward commercial service scenarios and Baosteel exploration, with no independent task benchmark or deployment metrics

Caveat: No independent benchmark, task-success rate, intervention rate, or raw autonomous task log was found

Ameca is a stationary full-size social humanoid from Engineered Arts (UK), listed at 187 cm, 62 kg, 61 actuated movements, with 27 DoF in head/face and 34 in upper body. It has 2x8MP eye cameras, binaural microphones, LiDAR, 50+ facial expressions, 70+ language support, and modes for interaction/conference/telepresence. Wikipedia documents public deployments including the National Robotarium and an ESA ambassador role. Video appearances exist but transcripts were unavailable. It does not walk, has no public price/runtime/battery, and no independent interaction benchmark

Caveat: No price, self-serve purchase, lease, or rental pricing was found. Engineered Arts offers a demo booking

EngineAI PM01 is a compact Chinese bipedal research humanoid listed as 1.38 m, about 40 kg, 24 DOF, 2 m/s, with 320-degree waist rotation and a third-party video title claiming a front flip. Official sources confirm the platform and an official introduction video, but no payload, runtime, battery, hands, sensors, autonomy task execution, manipulation, or named customer deployments have been found. Price is uncertain: a third-party video title says $13,700, while a commonly cited 88,000 yuan launch price belongs to SE01, not PM01. Treat as a purchasable motion/research platform with low confidence on reliability and commercial readiness

Caveat: No official PM01 price found. Third-party YouTube title says $13,700; The Robot Report's 88,000 yuan price refers to SE01, not...

EngineAI SE01 is a full-size biped humanoid (170 cm, 55 kg, 32 DoF) introduced in October 2024 as the company's first humanoid with a natural, human-like walking gait. The gait is achieved through end-to-end neural networks, reinforcement learning, and imitation learning using self-developed harmonic joint modules. Specs include 330 Nm joint torque, dual NVIDIA/Intel processors, and stereo cameras (plus LiDAR/depth/IR per unofficial source). Evidence consists of official and third-party videos with titles indicating walking demos, including a long-distance campus test, but no transcripts or independent analysis. There is no evidence of autonomous task execution, manipulation beyond a spec claim of dexterous hands, customer deployment, or official pricing

Caveat: No official price, purchase path, or waitlist found. Unofficial reseller lists $54,000 but is not verified

Reachy Mini is a small (28 cm, 1.5 kg) open-source desktop robot from Hugging Face and Pollen Robotics, priced at $399 (Lite) and $499 (Wireless). It features a 6-DoF motorized head, full body rotation, animated antennas, camera, microphones, and speaker, designed for human-robot interaction, education, and AI experimentation. It has no arms, hands, or locomotion, so manipulation and mobility are minimal. The robot is programmable in Python and open-source, with a growing ecosystem including a 3D voice demo Space. Evidence is mostly official and early-development; no independent verification, endurance data, or customer deployments exist. Video titles exist but without transcripts, so capabilities cannot be confirmed. Compiled automatically from public sources on 2026-10-29; requires human review

Caveat: Product is for sale, but delivery times are uncertain; comments indicate orders placed in December 2025 had no delivery info by...
