Humanoid robots for the home: what is real, what can you buy, and what can they actually do?

Start with the household goal, then separate what today’s humanoids can actually buy, demonstrate and do autonomously from the bigger promise of a general home robot.

A fast visual guide to the market

Four of the most important humanoid robots to understand right now — shown with their real market position rather than treated as equivalent products.

Official 1X NEO keynote
Consumer-order home humanoid

1X NEO

US orders open$20k or $499/moExpert ModeHome-first design

The clearest current example of a humanoid being sold as a home product, but its useful autonomy needs to be separated carefully from remotely assisted task completion.

Home-focused platform to watch

Home-designedNo public retail priceHelix autonomyMajor future contender

One of the most important robots to track because the hardware is explicitly designed for the home and Figure is scaling production, even though it is not yet a conventional consumer purchase.

Unitree G1

From $13,500Currently backorderedPlatform orientationUseful benchmark

A useful benchmark for what humanoid hardware costs today, but not a direct substitute for a domestic service robot such as NEO.

Potentially category-defining, but it should be shown as a future option rather than compared as though consumers can buy it today.
