Humanoid robot companies, mapped by who will sell you one
Fifteen companies are worth naming in August 2026 and exactly three of them publish a price a private buyer can pay, all three Chinese; the best funded of the rest, Figure at a $39 billion post-money valuation since September 2025, sells to no consumer at all.
The list of humanoid robot companies keeps growing. The list that will sell one to a private individual at a published price has three names on it, and all three are Chinese: Unitree, AgiBot, and Booster Robotics at the entry rung. A fourth, 1X, will take a $200 deposit against a robot no outside party has confirmed receiving.
Everyone else on this map sells to factories, warehouses, research labs, or nobody. That split is the real structure of the industry, and none of it shows up in the walking-robot footage.
The map
Prices are maker-direct and dated. "Sells to" is what each company's own site says it does today, not what it plans.
| Company | Base | Flagship | Sells to | Can a private buyer get one? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unitree | China (Hangzhou) | G1, R1, H2 | Anyone with a card | Yes. $4,900 to $100,000 (2026-08-04) |
| AgiBot (Zhiyuan) | China (Shanghai) | A2, X2, D1 | Developers, industry | Yes. A2 Lite $44,560 (2026-08-07) |
| Booster Robotics | China | T1, K1 | Developers, competition teams | Partly. K1 from $5,999; T1 price gated |
| UBTech | China (HKEX: 9880) | Walker S2 | Factories, plus a separate toy line | No public humanoid price |
| XPeng | China (NYSE: XPEV) | Iron | Its own production lines | No |
| 1X Technologies | US (San Carlos, CA) | NEO | Households, by deposit | Preorder. $20,000 or $499/mo |
| Figure AI | US | Figure 03 | BMW, Catalyst Brands | No |
| Apptronik | US (Austin, TX) | Apollo | Manufacturing, warehouse, retail | No |
| Agility Robotics | US (Salem, OR) | Digit | Warehouses and plants | No |
| Boston Dynamics | US | Atlas | Early adopters, first site is Hyundai's | No (Spot is sold separately) |
| Tesla | US (Nasdaq: TSLA) | Optimus | Nobody yet | No |
| Sanctuary AI | Canada | Phoenix, 8th generation | Industrial, tier-1 automotive | No |
| Engineered Arts | UK (Falmouth) | Ameca | Events, museums, rentals | Quote only |
| PAL Robotics | Spain (Barcelona) | TALOS, Kangaroo, TIAGo | Research labs | Quote only |
| Aldebaran | France | NAO, Pepper | In receivership since 2025 | No |
One country has a checkout
Every humanoid a private buyer can price, pay for, and have shipped today comes from China.
Unitree is the reference point. Its store lists a G1 at $13,500 and an R1 from $4,900, with an H2 at $29,900 and an H2 Plus at $100,000 above them. Unitree's own G1 page tells individual buyers to "thoroughly understand the limitations of humanoid robots before making a purchase," which is the most useful sentence any maker in this category has written.
AgiBot, also called Zhiyuan Robotics, is the Shanghai company most Western readers have never heard of. It says it rolled out its 15,000th general-purpose humanoid and cites an Omdia ranking putting it first worldwide in humanoid shipments for 2025 (company claim; I have not seen the underlying Omdia table). More to the point, it runs a store priced in US dollars: A2 Lite at $44,560, the D1 quadrupeds from $3,200, an OmniHand at $4,420, with overseas delivery quoted at 7 to 16 days and shipping added at checkout. The tiles route to "Learn More" rather than a cart, so it is a price list with a sales step attached.
Booster Robotics publishes one number, K1 from $5,999, and gates the rest behind a contact form. Its T1 ships worldwide with no price on the page.
UBTech is the odd one out, with the deepest product menu here, industrial Walker S2 down to Alpha Mini toys, and no public price on the English site for any of it.
The American companies sell to companies
Figure markets Figure 03 around household work and delivered it to a car plant: its own news index dates "F.03 Arrives at BMW" to June 30, 2026, with a Catalyst Brands agreement on May 26, 2026. There is no consumer channel and no price. Same shape at Apptronik, where Apollo's stated markets are manufacturing, warehouse, and retail, and the home appears only as a future ambition.
When Figure does describe a route into housing, the counterparty is a landlord rather than a resident.
Today we're announcing a first-of-its-kind partnership with Brookfield. Brookfield is one of the world's largest asset managers with over $1 trillion of assets and 100,000 residential units. This deal provides access to real-world environments and compute needed to scale Helix. (@Figure_robot, 2025-09-17)
Agility Robotics is the clearest case of the pattern, because it names customers instead of markets: Schaeffler, GXO, a Mercado Libre agreement dated December 10, 2025 and a Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada agreement dated February 19, 2026. Digit works in buildings that have loading docks, and Agility films it there.
Boston Dynamics is a step behind that. Its Atlas page describes an enterprise-ready version taking "its first steps into a customer facility with Hyundai for field testing," starting "with a select number of early adopters." Spot has been sold commercially for years. Atlas has not. Canada's Sanctuary AI is further back again: Phoenix is on its eighth generation and takes commercial inquiries only.
1X is the only US company selling a humanoid to households, and what it sells today is a place in line: $20,000 outright or $499 a month, a $200 refundable deposit, US deliveries stated for 2026, and a remote 1X employee available to drive the robot through anything it cannot handle. Its job listings sit in San Carlos and Hayward, California.
Tesla has the most famous product on this page and the emptiest row. No price page, no reservation flow, and in January 2026 Musk said no Optimus robots were doing useful work at Tesla.
The money is pointed at the ones you cannot buy
Sort the same fifteen companies by capital instead of by product and the map inverts.
Figure announced "Figure Exceeds $1B in Series C Funding at $39B Post-Money Valuation" on September 16, 2025, and sells to nobody outside an enterprise contract. CNBC reported on February 11, 2026 that Apptronik raised $520 million at a $5 billion valuation; Apollo has no published price either. Agility announced a merger with Churchill Capital Corp XI on June 24, 2026 and a confidential draft S-4 filing on July 14, 2026, which is a route to a public listing without a consumer product ever existing.
Unitree, which has been quietly taking consumer money for two years, is the last of them to reach for public markets: a Shanghai STAR Market IPO of roughly $620 million, subscriptions opening August 10, 2026, per Caixin.
Private is the norm here, and it is enforced: Figure posted a notice about unauthorized attempts to sell its stock on July 8, 2026. The ownership question has a piece of its own.
Europe builds research platforms, and buried one
PAL Robotics in Barcelona sells TALOS, the Kangaroo biped, TIAGo mobile manipulators, and the ARI service robot, all through an email address rather than a cart. Engineered Arts in Falmouth, Cornwall builds Ameca, the expressive face from every conference video, and rents as much as it sells.
Then France. Aldebaran built NAO and Pepper, the two humanoids that came closest to a mass market before this generation, and went into receivership in 2025. SoftBank had paused Pepper production back in June 2021, roughly 27,000 units in. The whole cautionary arc of the industry, inside one company, and it belongs next to every valuation above. The longer version is in the consumer robot graveyard.
Japan's position is stranger. Honda ended ASIMO development in July 2018 and retired the robot in March 2022 without ever selling one. The Japanese humanoid you can own today is a Sony aibo, a robot dog priced above $3,000 (AFP, June 2026).
What this map leaves out
Two things, deliberately. Component makers (hands, actuators, the compute inside the robots) are a real industry and not humanoid companies. And there are more Chinese entrants than I can verify one at a time against this site's standard, a published page with a date on it. When one of them puts a price on a page, it gets a row. The same standard keeps a famous name off the map: every dated report on Apple robotics describes a tabletop display on a motorized arm, which is a screen with a joint in it rather than a humanoid.
If you want a humanoid in your house this year, you are shopping from three Chinese storefronts and one deposit list, and what arrives is a developer platform rather than an appliance. If you are tracking the industry instead, watch the enterprise contracts, because that is where the revenue on this page comes from.
Next: what a humanoid actually costs, every real price dated, or the list of humanoids a consumer can order today. If I have missed a maker with a public price, send it over and it gets a row, dated like the rest.
One email when something actually changes: a delivery verified, a price cut, a robot discontinued. No weekly filler, unsubscribe whenever.
