In-depth reviews of every major humanoid robot shipping or about to ship — from Tesla Optimus and Figure's 02/03 line to Unitree, 1X NEO, Agility Robotics Digit, and the China-based challengers. Each review goes past the spec sheet: degrees of freedom, payload, uptime, real deployment evidence, price transparency, and what the robot actually does well versus what the marketing implies. We weight hands-on testing and verified deployments over lab demos. Use this category when you're shortlisting humanoids for a pilot, comparing generations of the same model, or checking whether a new entrant is serious.

Boston Dynamics Atlas, verified July 2026: no price has ever existed ($320k = anonymous ceiling; analysts say $130-145k), and 2026 output is committed to Hyundai and Google DeepMind. Production specs, the 2028 factory ladder, the first humanoid-robot strike, and the World Cup ball delivery.

XPeng Iron, verified July 2026: real (cut open on stage to prove it), remarkable, and not for sale - no price exists. Mass production end-2026, XPeng showrooms Q1 2027, global 2027, homes ~2028. Specs by generation, the fall, the fake listing, and the crypto squatting on its name.
The definitive Unitree H2 reference: verified $29,900 pricing with the hands and EDU fine print, official specs vs the media layer, H2 vs H2 Plus vs H1, the ordering reality by region, the security and 1260H file, and Unitree's IPO-era financials.
The Galbot G1 has no global list price. The real figures are a ~630,000 yuan (~$91k) JD.com flash sale, a ~690-700k standing JD listing, and ~700k enterprise. A wheeled, mostly-China manipulator, and the certified robot in China's first licensed robot pharmacy.

Rainbow RB-Y1 price 2026: $80,000 research or $120,000 commercial at pre-order, now quote-based. A buyable wheeled dual-arm research platform, Samsung-backed. Specs, speed and what it is.
EngineAI SE01 price 2026: no official price, quote-only (a co-founder targets ~$20,500 to $27,350 for full-size units). The viral human-gait robot. The cheap $12,000 model is the PM01, not the SE01.
Clone Alpha price and availability, July 2026: no orderable price, no open checkout, no evidenced shipment, and no footage of the Protoclone walking. Where the $20,000 figure really comes from, the memecoin trap, and Clone's own 2027-2028 roadmap.
EBO X price and review: $799 (down from $999 MSRP), GPT-4o mini AI, 4K camera, and who should buy this family companion robot.
Unitree R1 review, verified July 2026. The $4,900 Air and $5,900 R1 walk, flip and chat but cannot be programmed or grasp objects. The overlooked R1 EDU is $10,500 on Unitree's own shop: Unitree's cheapest programmable humanoid. Prices by channel, specs by tier, and the honest limits.

SoftBank Pepper, verified July 2026: production stopped 2020, Aldebaran liquidated 2025, and two comebacks since - Japan's rental Pepper+ and Maxvision's NAO-only revival. The $1,800 price was a fifth of the real ~$9,000 bundle. Used ~$2,100-$6,800; from $32,000 supported at RobotLAB.
CyberOne price: none has ever existed. The circulating figures are a 2022 production-cost quote at three exchange rates. The 2026 reality: a V2 debut, EV-plant pilot shifts at 90.2% success, and fresh Lei Jun factory footage.

Compare home humanoid robots by price, order status, autonomy, teleoperation and developer access, with base and EDU configurations separated.
Ameca, verified July 2026: quote-only, no published price - best evidence ~$250,000/unit ($500k school purchase, Jan 2026). Current model is Gen 2.6, static; the 'walking Gen 3' online is fabricated. The real Gen 3 is the desktop, released June 2026. Clips fact-checked, rentals explained.
The Sanctuary AI Phoenix has no price and no public way to buy one. Its maker pivoted in 2026 to selling AI software for other robots (its hydraulic hands still in development), not the whole humanoid. What Phoenix is, what made its hands special, and why every price online is unverified.
Unitree's first full-size humanoid in 2026: still listed at $90,000 quote-only while the $29,900 H2 succeeds it. Verified specs, the speed-record timeline, the research legacy, and the honest buying answer.
What happened to Figure 01? Never priced, never sold, superseded by Figure 02 in August 2024. The full dated record: the viral OpenAI demo truth, the BMW facts, the fake prices, and where the units went.
Sophia the robot in 2026: still active, not a retail product, and there has never been an official price. The $100k-$150k figures online trace to nothing. Real booking fees, the $300,000 dealer listing, the truth about the citizenship, and what happened to her.
AgiBot A2 review, verified July 2026. One real price exists: the A2 Lite at $44,560 on AgiBot's own store, well above its China price. The A2-W is quote-only, the $100k-$190k range online is unsourced, and the A3 Ultra just landed. Variants, the Guinness record, and the stock question.
AgiBot Lingxi X2 price, verified July 2026: $24,240 on the official global store, ¥98,000 Youth Edition in China, Ultra quote-only. Variants decoded, the DoF mess settled, the bicycle demo honestly assessed, and how buying one actually works.

The definitive Walker S2 reference: the misinformation audit (fake prices, wrong weights, phantom models), official specs vs the media layer, the battery-swap explainer, the dated orders ledger through the $37M border deal, and the filings-derived price anchor nobody else has.
Unitree Go1 status, verified July 2026: quietly delisted around the Go2's mid-2023 launch, sold only used (~$1,699 NOS). Per-tier specs, the CVE-2025-2894 backdoor story told straight, where the documentation survives, battery and parts reality, and the honest case for a $1,600 Go2 Air instead.
Unitree Go2 price 2026: Air $1,600, Pro $2,800, Go2 X $4,500, EDU quote-only (realistically $11,190+). What each tier actually does, the security record no other guide covers, and an honest Spot comparison.
