Humanoid robots are now something you can actually order. Unitree, Booster, EngineAI, UBTECH, Fourier and a dozen other makers sell walking humanoids to schools, universities, companies and private buyers, and prices start below €10,000. What has not changed is the gap between the videos and what a robot does out of the box. This guide sorts the humanoids for sale in Europe by price, explains what they can and cannot do today, and gives you a checklist to use before you request a quote.
Prices below are Robots Europa list prices checked on 8 October 2026. Robots Europa is a Dublin-based distributor that ships across the EU, and Dijipedya earns a commission on referred orders. We have not tested every robot ourselves; the comparison is based on manufacturer and distributor information.

What humanoid robots can do today
Most humanoids for sale walk well, keep their balance when pushed, wave, dance, follow pre-recorded motions and respond to a remote controller or app. Many can talk through a connected language model. That is enough for trade fairs, receptions, classrooms and research on locomotion.
What they generally cannot do out of the box is useful household or factory work on their own. Folding laundry, loading a dishwasher or picking parts from a bin needs dexterous hands, extra computing and, above all, software you train or write yourself. Videos showing such tasks are usually research demos, teleoperated sessions or the result of months of development.
| Task | Out of the box | With development work |
|---|---|---|
| Walking, balance, recovering from pushes | Yes on most models | Faster gaits, stairs, rough ground |
| Pre-programmed motions and dances | Yes | Your own choreography |
| Talking with visitors | Often, through an app or connected AI | Custom knowledge, languages, integrations |
| Picking up and placing objects | Limited, depends on hands | Possible with dexterous hands and training |
| Household chores | No | Research stage |
| Factory tasks | No | Pilot projects on full-size industrial models |
Which humanoid for which buyer?
| Buyer | Good starting point | Why |
|---|---|---|
| School or STEM club | Unitree R1, Booster K1 or NAO | Light, safer to handle, lower price, plenty of teaching material for NAO |
| University lab | Unitree G1 Edu or Booster T1 | Development access, active research community, ROS 2 support |
| Trade fair or showroom | Unitree G1 Basic or Unitree R1 | Eye-catching, reliable motion library, easy to transport |
| Manipulation research | G1 with dexterous hands, Unitree H1-2 | Better hands, arms and payload |
| Industrial pilot | UBTECH Walker S1, Apptronik Apollo | Built for factory trials, larger payloads |

Legs, wheels or upper body only?
A walking biped is the image most people have in mind, but it is not always the best buy. Wheeled humanoids such as Galbot or RobotEra Q5 move more steadily on flat floors, run longer per charge and carry more, which makes them better for reception and logistics pilots. Upper-body humanoids such as PNDbotics Adam-U sit on a fixed base and are a cost-effective way to research arms and hands without paying for legs. Read our wheeled humanoid robots guide for the options.
Buying checklist
- Define the job first. Demo, teaching, locomotion research, manipulation research or an industrial pilot each lead to a different robot.
- Check development access. Basic versions often lock the SDK. If you plan to write code, buy an Edu or open version. Our R1 Basic vs R1 Edu guide explains the difference.
- Hands are a separate decision. Simple hands, grippers and five-finger dexterous hands vary widely in price and capability.
- Ask what is in the box. Batteries, charger, remote controller, protective gantry and onboard computer are not always included.
- Plan the space. Full-size humanoids need a clear test area, a gantry for development work and staff trained to stop the robot.
- Warranty and repairs in Europe. Ask where repairs happen, how long they take and whether a loan unit is available. See our robot warranty checklist.
- Delivery, VAT and CE. Lithium batteries, customs and VAT treatment affect cost and timing. Our guide to buying a robot in Europe covers this.
- Consider renting for events. For a single trade fair, renting is often cheaper. See rent or buy a robot for trade fairs.
Costs beyond the robot
| Item | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Spare batteries | Runtime is often one to two hours; a second battery keeps sessions going |
| Protective gantry | Prevents falls during development and protects the robot |
| Extra computing | AI workloads may need an additional onboard or external computer |
| Dexterous hands | Can add thousands of euros per pair |
| Transport case and shipping | Needed if the robot travels to events |
| Service and repairs | Falls happen; ask for spare parts prices up front |
| Staff time | Someone has to learn the software and run the robot |
Frequently asked questions
How much does a humanoid robot cost?
In Europe, small humanoids such as Noetix BUMI or Unitree R1 Air start around €5,400 to €6,200. Mid-size robots such as Unitree G1 Basic list around €18,000, full-size research robots such as Unitree H1 around €86,000, and some industrial models above €110,000 (Robots Europa, October 2026).
What is the cheapest humanoid robot you can buy?
Among walking humanoids listed by Robots Europa, Noetix BUMI PRO (about €4,520), Noetix BUMI (about €5,420) and Unitree R1 Air (about €6,210) are the lowest priced.
Can a humanoid robot do housework?
Not out of the box. Current humanoids for sale walk, balance, perform motions and talk, but household chores still require research-level development, dexterous hands and training.
Can private individuals buy a humanoid robot?
Yes. Many models, including Unitree R1 and G1, can be ordered by private buyers, though most sales go to schools, universities and companies. Check warranty and support terms for private customers.
Which humanoid robot is best for a university?
Unitree G1 Edu is the most common choice in European labs thanks to development access and a large community. Booster T1 and EngineAI PM01 are alternatives worth quoting.
