Payload, autonomy, real deployments and whether you can buy one — the spec sheet without the hype reel. Deep per-robot profiles live on our flagship, Robot News Today.
The price disruptor. A full humanoid for less than a used car — the reason 'can you actually buy one?' finally has a yes.
Unitree pushing the floor even lower — a sub-$6K humanoid aimed at developers and classrooms.
The most ambitious and best-funded humanoid program on Earth. V3 production is slated for summer 2026; consumer sales still promised, not delivered.
The OG humanoid, all grown up. The CES 2026 production version dropped the backflips for a job — an 'order-of-magnitude simpler' electric Atlas built to work. Hyundai aims for 30,000 units a year.
Best-funded startup in robotics history. After a 10-month Figure 02 pilot that helped build 30,000+ BMW X3s, the 03 is scaling into paid factory work.
Already on the clock. Digit is one of the few humanoids doing paid work at scale — and Agility just planted a 60,000 sq ft training facility next door to Tesla in Fremont.
Austin's own humanoid, born at UT's Human Centered Robotics Lab. Designed to be approachable — and to actually earn its keep on a warehouse floor.
OpenAI-backed and built for the living room, not the factory. Soft, quiet, human-proportioned — the first serious swing at a domestic humanoid.
Betting the whole game on hands. Phoenix's dexterous manipulation is among the best in the field.
The household robot most people already own a version of — and the top of the line. Vacuums, mops, and cleans up after itself.
The name that made 'robot' a household word. The Combo line adds mopping to the classic Roomba.
A pressurized roller mop that actually scrubs, not just wipes — one of the strongest mop-first vacuums.
Twin AI cameras and a genuinely smart dock — a rising challenger to the vacuum establishment.
The lawn robot that ditched the buried boundary wire. Set a virtual boundary and let it run.
Camera-guided mowing that follows the grass line — no wires, no beacons.
A five-in-one pool robot that cleans the floor, walls, waterline and surface on one charge.
Sticks to the glass and does the chore nobody likes. A cordless base means it roams pane to pane.
The living-room companion robots the big electronics makers keep teasing — home-hub, pet-cam and assistant in one rolling body.
A genuinely charming desk companion — expressive, playful, and a friendly on-ramp to living with a robot.
Amazon's first fully autonomous warehouse robot — the quiet workhorse behind next-day delivery.
The picker's robot partner — a fleet-scale AMR that has moved billions of units in warehouses.
The cobot that mainstreamed collaborative automation. A safe arm any small shop can bolt to a bench.
The four-legged robot you can actually buy — from a $1,600 hobby Go2 to the load-hauling industrial B2.
Tackling one of construction's most repetitive jobs. Fresh funding is bringing autonomous bricklaying to the US.
Not replacing workers — building autonomous machines to plug the construction labor gap.
Autonomy already earning its keep in the field — a driverless tractor you summon from your phone.
Weeding without chemicals — computer vision spots the weed, a laser does the rest.
The most-flown delivery drone network on Earth — from blood in Rwanda to burritos in Texas.
Alphabet's last-mile drone — coffee, medicine, or a phone charger on your lawn in minutes.
The robot that already changed medicine. The da Vinci 5 brings force feedback to millions of procedures.
Where a lot of roboticists actually start. Build it, code it, break it, learn.
The $75 gateway drug to robotics. Solder, code, and watch it come alive.
