OUR TAKE	The first full-size humanoid built to be looked at rather than put to work. Fabric-wrapped, 27 degrees of freedom, and a motion stack that does runway walks and full splits. It will not do a single chore.	The full-size humanoid you can actually buy. A world-class walking and running platform — bring your own application.

Detailed comparison: Luna vs H1

Luna scores 7/10 in our independent evaluation; H1 scores 7.9/10. That 0.9000000000000004-point gap is real but not decisive — Luna may still be the right fit depending on your use case.

Luna is best for: Malls, theme parks, trade shows and brand activations that need a crowd to stop walking. H1 is best for: Labs, universities, and serious developers who want full-size hardware now.

Our scoring weighs five factors: autonomous capability, independent verification (third-party evidence scores higher than manufacturer claims), commercial deployment scale, price-to-capability ratio, and real-world availability today. Neither robot here is scored on marketing alone. Luna and H1 are both worth evaluating — the right call depends on which robot's documented strengths match your actual workflow.

WHICHBOT VERDICT

For most buyers we give the nod to H1 thanks to the fact you can actually get it today. But it's closer than the score suggests: Luna wins if your priority is malls, theme parks, trade shows and brand activations that need a crowd to stop walking.
