The Humanoid Robots You Can Actually Buy Right Now
Humanoid robots are transitioning from labs to commercial availability, with models like Unitree G1 ($16,000) and Neo Gamma ($20,000 or $499/month lease) now purchasable by individuals or enterprises. Companies such as Agility Robotics (Digit, $250,000) and Figure AI (O3, $20,000–$30,000) are deploying thousands annually for industrial and domestic use, though accessibility varies widely.
The market for humanoid robots is evolving beyond prototypes and research labs, with several models now available for purchase or lease. Unitree’s G1, priced at around $16,000, is one of the few directly orderable online, with over 5,000 units shipped globally in 2025. It stands 1.3 meters tall and is designed for safe, dexterous movement in human environments, alongside developer-friendly software tools. Agility Robotics’ Digit, costing approximately $250,000, targets enterprise clients like Amazon and Toyota for workplace automation. Meanwhile, 1X’s Neo Gamma, priced at $20,000 outright or $499/month for a lease, is marketed for home use, featuring a softer design and AI trained for household tasks. Pre-orders are open, but shipping is expected in 2026. Figure AI’s O3, available through enterprise partnerships, ranges from $20,000 to $30,000 and is deployed in industrial settings like BMW’s facilities. The robot is promoted for domestic chores such as folding laundry and dishwashing, though direct retail sales remain limited. Zhiyuan Robotics’ Agibot A2 offers a Lite model for $44,000, with higher-end variants reportedly costing between $100,000 and $190,000. Accessibility remains uneven, as some robots require enterprise procurement channels or pilot programs, while others are still in early commercial stages. Despite the progress, challenges persist, including high costs, limited retail availability, and delayed shipping timelines. However, manufacturers are scaling production, signaling a shift toward broader adoption in both industrial and consumer markets.
