## Robot reviews (with key facts)
- [Tesla Optimus Gen 3](https://whichbot.net/robots/tesla-optimus): $25,000* · Waitlist · WhichBot score 8.1/10. The volume play. Tesla is converting car production lines to build it — if any robot hits mass-market pricing first, it's this one.
- [1X Technologies NEO Gamma](https://whichbot.net/robots/1x-neo): $20,000* · Home pilot · WhichBot score 8.4/10. The only humanoid actually living in houses today. Soft-body design, quiet, built for safety around kids and pets.
- [Unitree G1](https://whichbot.net/robots/unitree-g1): $16,000 · Buy today · WhichBot score 7.2/10. The cheapest way to own a real humanoid right now. Smaller and more of a developer platform than a housekeeper — but it ships.
- [Figure AI Figure 03](https://whichbot.net/robots/figure-03): Not for sale · Commercial only · WhichBot score 8.7/10. Arguably the most capable hands in the business — processing hundreds of thousands of packages. Consumers can't buy it. Yet.
- [Apptronik Apollo](https://whichbot.net/robots/apptronik-apollo): Lease only · Commercial only · WhichBot score 7.9/10. Built like a forklift with hands — swappable batteries, warehouse-first. A workhorse, not a roommate.
- [Agility Robotics Digit](https://whichbot.net/robots/agility-digit): RaaS pricing · Commercial only · WhichBot score 7.5/10. The veteran. Longest real-world deployment record of any biped — proof this category works, even if it's not home-bound.
- [Skyline Robotics Ozmo](https://whichbot.net/robots/skyline-ozmo): RaaS / quote · Service contract · WhichBot score 8.6/10. The robot cleaning Manhattan skyscrapers right now. Rides the building's existing window-washing cradle, cleans ~3× faster than human crews, and keeps workers off the facade.
- [Boston Dynamics Spot](https://whichbot.net/robots/boston-dynamics-spot): From $74,500 · Buy today · WhichBot score 8.2/10. The four-legged site inspector. Walks the job site on schedule, captures scans and photos, and flags issues — the most proven "robot dog" in construction.
- [FBR Hadrian X](https://whichbot.net/robots/fbr-hadrian-x): Walls-as-a-Service · Service contract · WhichBot score 8/10. The truck that builds walls. A 30-meter boom lays large-format blocks from a digital model — fast enough to wall a house in a day, steady even in wind.
- [Hilti Jaibot](https://whichbot.net/robots/hilti-jaibot): Quote / lease · Lease / fleet · WhichBot score 8.3/10. The veteran of construction robotics. Reads the BIM model, drives itself to position, and drills perfect overhead anchor holes — dust-controlled — all shift long.
- [Dusty Robotics FieldPrinter](https://whichbot.net/robots/dusty-fieldprinter): ~$3–5K/mo* · Subscription · WhichBot score 8.1/10. The layout robot. Prints the full digital floor plan — walls, doors, MEP — directly onto the slab at millimetre accuracy, killing the most expensive error source in construction.
- [PaintJet Bravo](https://whichbot.net/robots/paintjet-bravo): Service / quote · Service contract · WhichBot score 7.6/10. The facade painter. Attaches to the lifts contractors already own and coats huge exterior walls with machine consistency — keeping crews off the boom.
