Availability explained

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

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. 1X says full-scale production has begun, while its current order page still frames customer delivery as beginning in 2026; buyers need a clear split between autonomous tasks and work that still uses Expert Mode.

Figure reports Helix 2.5 whole-body autonomy across three tasks in 30 unseen homes; independent evidence is still developing

One of the strongest home-focused humanoids to watch. Helix 2.5 adds a useful manufacturer evaluation across unfamiliar homes, but it covers three bounded behaviours, reports 56% complete-task success and is not independent consumer testing.

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.

Newer Unitree models to understand — without mistaking hardware access for household readiness

These official listings materially expand the humanoid hardware market. RightRobot is not adding them to the main home shortlist until there is stronger task-level household evidence.

Commercially listed development platformUnitree R1

Unitree lists R1 Air from US$4,900 and R1 from US$5,900 before tax and shipping. Store availability can differ by variant.

The official material presents adaptable humanoid hardware and developer interfaces, not independently verified general household autonomy.

Commercially listed development platformUnitree H2

Unitree lists H2 at US$29,900 before tax and shipping, with H2 EDU handled through sales.

Its official page describes a powerful full-size humanoid platform; it does not establish a finished consumer home-helper service.

Contact-sales research and development platformUnitree H2 Plus

Unitree's official store lists US$100,000 and directs buyers to contact sales.

The listed sensing, payload and dexterity specifications are product facts, not proof of autonomous household performance.

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.
