Home humanoids will improve in stages rather than all at once. The important question is what needs to happen before impressive demonstrations turn into products ordinary households can actually use.
The market changes materially when more companies move from concept or pilot to a normal consumer purchase flow.
The next leap is not just better video; it is clearer proof of what works autonomously, how often and in what kind of home.
Lower prices matter only when reliability improves and the robot can take over genuinely useful chores without constant supervision.
For home robots, the companies that explain support, remote access and household safety best may gain a real edge.
Figure's Helix 2.5 report moves beyond a single polished room: the company evaluated tidying, towel folding and bed making across 30 unseen homes and reported 56% complete-task success. That is meaningful manufacturer evidence for transfer to unfamiliar layouts, but it is not independent testing, it covers three bounded behaviours and it is still far from dependable general housekeeping.
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.
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.
Open official source ↗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.
Open official source ↗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.
Open official source ↗Progress will be uneven. Some companies will make their robots easier to order first, while others will keep improving object handling, autonomy and general-purpose AI before selling to ordinary consumers. What matters for buyers is knowing when a robot has moved beyond an impressive demonstration and become a product that could genuinely help at home.
Humanoids are the exciting next chapter. Robot vacuums are already mature enough to remove a repetitive household job reliably — and Home Fit can match one to your floors, pets, clutter, thresholds and budget.
