The guide to getting started
Buying a humanoid robot, fully explained
You know nothing about it, and that's perfectly normal: this market has only just been born. Here, step by step and jargon-free, is how to understand, compare and buy the robot that fits you.
Who is a humanoid robot for?
Businesses
Handling, warehousing, reception… The robot becomes an investment with a real return and favourable tax treatment.
Schools & labs
To teach, research, experiment. Open-SDK models (like Unitree) are perfect for this.
The 4 steps to get it right
Understand
Get familiar with a handful of key words (battery life, payload, CE marking…). Our glossary explains each in one sentence.
Open the glossary →Compare
Put models side by side based on YOUR use: home, business, school. The right robot isn't 'the best', it's the one that fits your need.
See the robots →Check the real cost
The sticker price is never the final price. Customs, VAT, delivery, CE marking: we show you the real bill, no surprises.
Understand the real price →Buy or lease
Pay upfront or rent monthly (leasing): we compare both so you choose by budget and plans.

What about the budget, concretely?
An entry model like the Unitree G1 starts at €16,000 to buy, or around €450/month to lease. Industrial models (Figure 02) run about €1,800/month. Add a 30-40 % premium on import (customs + VAT) for a purchase from outside the European Union.

Can a humanoid robot really do everything?
No, not yet. In 2026, each robot excels at a few tasks (walking, carrying, folding laundry) but none is as versatile as in the movies. That's exactly why you compare based on your specific use.
Is it dangerous to have one at home?
Models designed for the home limit their force and stop at the slightest contact. The real safeguard is CE marking: always check it before buying.
Do I need to know how to code?
For domestic models, no: they're used via an app. To fully exploit an open model (R&D, school), some programming basics help, but aren't mandatory.
Buy or lease, which to choose?
If you're unsure about your use over 2-3 years, leasing keeps your budget flexible and lets you switch models. If you know exactly what to do long term, buying becomes worthwhile.
