Humanoid Robots for Sale: Commercial Availability Tracker
'For sale' is the most abused phrase in humanoid robotics. The truthful availability spectrum runs: generally available to qualified buyers, limited/pilot availability (you can engage, not simply purchase), announced-but-not-shipping, and not offered. The live tracker below shows each platform's commercial status from the evidence database with its verification date — and where the record does not establish availability, it says so instead of guessing.
How to read the availability states
Commercial status here is an evidence-bound field: it changes when the record changes — a verified sale, a program announcement with named customers, a maker's published offer. A demo video changes nothing. This is deliberately conservative, and it is why the states below sometimes lag headlines that later prove premature.
Buying versus piloting
Most 'purchases' in this market are actually pilot programs: fixed-term engagements with success criteria, services attached, and no transfer of a general-purpose machine. That is a rational structure for immature technology — but it means procurement teams should scope pilots as projects with exit criteria, not as equipment purchases with a depreciation schedule.
Verification questions before you engage
Ask the maker: which operating mode (autonomous, supervised, teleoperated) applies to YOUR tasks; how many machines run in production at customer sites today and may we speak to one; what does the service tier cost and cover; what happens to task programs if we exit. The profiles and deployment tracker on this site arm those conversations with the public record.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I buy a humanoid robot right now?
- A small number of platforms are purchasable by qualified (mostly business) buyers; most engagement is pilot-based. The tracker shows the current recorded state per platform.
- Can consumers buy any of these?
- The tracked field is business-focused; consumer availability, where it exists at all, is limited. Check each profile's commercial status rather than assuming.
- Prices for the ones on sale?
- See the price guide: disclosed figures carry sources; everything else is labeled 'Not publicly disclosed' or 'target' honestly.
