Can you buy a humanoid robot today?

Yes, but 'available to buy' can mean very different things. This guide separates normal consumer ordering from specialist hardware and robots that are still in development.

Availability in one view

Official 1X NEO launch / order video
Consumer-order home humanoid
1X NEO
US order pathUS price publishedExpert ModeHome-first design
Consumer orders open in the US

$20,000 ownership or $499/month; $200 refundable deposit

Foundational autonomy plus scheduled Expert Mode for tasks NEO does not yet know

The clearest current home-humanoid consumer proposition, but buyers need a clear split between autonomous tasks and work that still uses Expert Mode.

No public consumer price

Figure says Helix enables autonomous household tasks; public evidence is still developing

One of the strongest home-focused humanoids to watch. The home design and Helix demonstrations are significant, but there is no normal consumer purchase route yet.

From $13,500 before tax and shipping

Research/development platform capabilities should not be confused with dependable general household autonomy

A strong benchmark for the cost and capability of buyable humanoid hardware, but not a turnkey domestic service robot.

Development target is a general-purpose autonomous humanoid

Potentially category-defining, but today it belongs in the future-product column: there is no normal consumer buying route to compare with current retail products.

Yes: 1X NEO has a consumer order path

1X currently accepts a refundable deposit for NEO and says US deliveries begin in 2026. That makes NEO more than a concept or company trial, but it still does not mean every household task will work autonomously from day one.

US note: NEO is the clearest current consumer-facing home humanoid in this group because 1X is accepting US orders and states deliveries begin in 2026.

Yes, but different: Unitree G1 is buyable hardware

Unitree's official store lists G1 at US$13,500 and currently marks it backordered. UK buyers should treat that as an overseas store price before shipping, tax and import costs. G1 is humanoid hardware you can buy, but not a ready-to-use home-helper service.

Not yet normal consumer purchases: Figure 03 and Tesla Optimus

Both companies have shown humanoids that could eventually be useful at home, but neither currently gives consumers the same straightforward way to buy as NEO. Their buying status should change only when the products themselves become easier to purchase.
