Methodology
How to read this table
Confidence flags
Directly stated in official press releases, investor materials, or verified third-party teardowns. Treat as reliable.
Derived from credible secondary sources, analyst reports, or prior-generation data. Use directionally, not for purchasing decisions.
Based on community reports or extrapolation. Treat as approximate only.
Notes on specific columns
DoF (Degrees of Freedom) — Higher DoF enables more dexterous movement but increases complexity, cost, and failure probability. Tesla's 22-DoF hands are exceptional; most competitors have 6-12 DoF hands.
Payload — Carry payload (held objects while walking) is more operationally relevant than peak lift. Agility Digit's 16 kg is conservative; 1X NEO's 70 kg lift is peak, not carry.
Battery — Hours of operation under typical load. Real-world duty cycles vary significantly by task intensity and environment.
Price — Purchase prices for enterprise units. RaaS (Robot-as-a-Service) models charge per hour of operation instead of upfront.
Buying guide
Which robot for which use case?
Only robot at a near-accessible price point that is actually shipping. Capable of manipulation tasks, SDK available, active developer community.
Monthly subscription model removes the capital barrier. Early access for 2026. Lightest at 30kg — easiest to handle safely.
Only OSHA-certified humanoid. Proven at scale (GXO). RaaS model aligns cost with utilisation. Designed specifically for fulfillment tasks.
Figure has the BMW precedent. Atlas has the deepest capability benchmarks. Both require enterprise agreements — not off-the-shelf.
Open SDK access, active research communities, and lower cost-per-failure than $130K+ enterprise units.
Bank of America projects sub-$17K BOM by 2030. Tesla is targeting $20-30K consumer pricing. No robot meets consumer needs at consumer prices today.
