Home and consumer robots
Most people who search for a robot price mean a household robot. Robot vacuums and mops are the cheapest category, from a few hundred dollars for basic models to about USD 1,500 for self-emptying, self-washing flagships. Robotic lawn mowers for home gardens sit in a similar band, while commercial robotic mowers for sports fields and golf courses are quoted (see commercial robotic lawn mowers).
Desk companions and toy robots cost less than a smartphone, but they are toys. The first robots that actually move around like animals start with consumer robot dogs: FX Navi at USD 1,990, Unitree Go2 Air at USD 2,365 and Sony aibo at USD 2,899.99.
