What is a humanoid robot?
It's a robot shaped like a person: two arms, two legs, a head. It walks, sees, talks and learns tasks. Not plastic gadgets: real machines, starting to show up in some homes and businesses.
And what's it actually for?
Helping at home (folding laundry, doing the dishes), at work (warehouse handling), or learning (schools, universities). Still early days, so not all of them can do everything — that's why we compare.
What about the price?
It starts at £13,000 for the entry model (Unitree G1) or £340/month on lease. Yes, expensive — like a new car. But prices are dropping fast: Tesla is promising £18,000 for its consumer model.
