Humanoid robots for sale: what you can actually buy.

Search "humanoid robots for sale" and you'll drown in stage demos, renders, and robots that are exclusively leased to Fortune 500 warehouses. This page tracks the only thing that matters to a buyer: which humanoids you can genuinely acquire, at what price, through what process — updated as availability changes.

Waitlist / not yet

No consumer orders yet. Production is ramping for Tesla's own factories first. Watch for a reservation system similar to Tesla's vehicle launches.

The ones you cannot buy (and why that matters)

Figure 03, Apptronik Apollo, and Agility Digit are arguably the three most capable humanoids in the world — and none is sold to consumers at any price. They deploy through enterprise contracts and robots-as-a-service leases. We track them anyway, because today's warehouse capability is a preview of what reaches your kitchen in two to three years.

Import and gray-market warnings

A growing number of resellers list Chinese humanoids at tempting prices. Before wiring money: confirm the seller is an authorized distributor, factor in import duties and shipping (often thousands of dollars), and understand that warranty service may require shipping the unit overseas. A $2,000 discount is not worth an unserviceable robot.

Frequently asked

Can I buy a humanoid robot right now?
Yes. The Unitree G1 is orderable today at a $16,000 list price. The 1X NEO is accessible through a home pilot program. Most other humanoids — including Figure 03 and Apptronik Apollo — are commercial-only and not sold to consumers.
Is there a humanoid robot for sale under $20,000?
Yes — the Unitree G1 at $16,000 is the most prominent humanoid under $20,000 that actually ships to buyers. Smaller research and hobbyist platforms exist below that price but are not household robots.
When will Tesla Optimus be for sale?
Tesla has not announced a consumer on-sale date. Production lines are being converted and early units serve Tesla's own operations. Public statements target eventual pricing around $20,000–$30,000 at volume.
