Best humanoid robot under $10,000

The cheapest legged humanoid from a maker that ships in volume. At $4,900 it undercuts every serious competitor by thousands, and it exists because Unitree stripped out the things that make the G1 expensive. Treat it as a locomotion platform you can afford to break.

Buy it if

A first walking robot, on a budget, where dropping it is not a catastrophe.

Skip it if

You need hands that manipulate anything heavier than a cup.
