Buying a robot online is easier than it was even two years ago. Robot dogs, humanoids, cobots, cleaning robots and serving robots now have public list prices and can be ordered like any other piece of equipment. The hard part is knowing where to buy, which version to choose and what to check before you pay.
This guide lists where you can buy real robots online by region, what each type costs and a checklist to avoid the usual mistakes. Prices are Robots store list prices checked on 16 October 2026.

Where can you buy a robot?
1Specialist robot stores
Online distributors that stock many brands, give list prices, handle shipping and import, and offer quotes for businesses. This is the easiest route for most private buyers, schools and small companies.
2Directly from the manufacturer
Some makers sell through their own websites, but many Chinese manufacturers sell outside China only through distributors, and support is easier through a local partner.
3System integrators
For factory projects, an integrator buys the robot and delivers a complete cell with tooling, safety and programming.
4General marketplaces
Amazon and similar sites mainly sell robot toys, robot vacuums and small kits. Listings for professional robots at unusually low prices are a common source of grey imports without warranty.

Checklist before you buy
- Version: many robots come as basic, pro and EDU versions. Basic versions often lock programming. Read why SDK access matters.
- Total price: check VAT, import duty or tariffs, shipping and any setup fee. In the EU, see VAT, CE marking and delivery.
- Delivery time: "subject to availability" usually means the robot ships to order, often in two to eight weeks.
- Batteries: large lithium batteries ship as dangerous goods, which can add days. Details in shipping robot batteries.
- Warranty and repairs: ask who repairs the robot, where spare parts come from and how long support lasts. Use our warranty checklist.
- Safety and compliance: for business use, check CE or UL marking and whether you need a risk assessment.
- Accessories: spare batteries, chargers, grippers and carry cases are often sold separately.
Mistakes to avoid
- Buying the cheapest listing for a well-known model on a marketplace without checking the seller, region and warranty.
- Ordering a basic version and finding out later that it cannot be programmed for your project.
- Forgetting import costs when ordering from another region.
- Assuming a humanoid can do household chores today. Read what humanoid robots can and cannot do first.
- Skipping integration costs for business robots. Our commercial robot costs guide explains what to budget.
Buy, rent or lease?
For a one-off trade fair or campaign, renting is often cheaper than buying. For daily work, buying or leasing usually wins after a few months of use. We compare the options in renting vs buying a robot for trade fairs and events.
