Noetix Bumi vs Noetix N2

Noetix Bumi is a low-cost Chinese consumer humanoid robot announced in October 2025 at ¥9,998 (~$1,400). It is 94 cm tall, 12 kg, with 21 DOF, a 48V battery, and claimed 1-2 hours runtime. It walks, runs, and dances, and includes voice interaction, touch, and drag-and-drop graphical programming. Sales began on JD.com with 500 units sold within 48 hours, and HCR announced a 1,000-unit B2B order. Bumi appeared at China's Spring Festival Gala. However, it is explicitly not for household chores, has no published payload or manipulation evidence, is China-only and sold out, and all performance/autonomy claims are company or media reported without independent verification

Noetix N2 is a small Chinese bipedal humanoid (1.2-1.3 m, 20-30 kg, 18 DoF) from Noetix Robotics, known for continuous backflips, running, and low price. Strongest evidence is dynamic mobility demos including backflips and an abuse recovery video, plus reported pre-orders of over 2,500 units and a second-place finish in a humanoid half marathon. However, there is no evidence of manipulation, no autonomous task execution disclosure, no named customers, and specs/price are highly conflicting
