Best humanoid robot you can buy
Everything you can order today, ranked on capability, value, how easily you can get one, the software around it and what it has proved in the field.
Unitree G1
The default humanoid of the moment, and the only full-featured machine that a well-funded individual can order without a procurement department. It walks, runs, gets up off the floor and has more third-party code written for it than anything else on this list. The catch is the configuration ladder: the $13,500 machine cannot run your own code, and the version that can starts at $43,900.
