Who is building home humanoid robots?
Only a handful of companies target homes first. Most humanoid makers sell to factories, labs and hobbyists. Here is the map, by country, with each one's real status.

Only a few companies are building humanoids for homes first. The clearest is 1X, a Norwegian-American company whose NEO is open for pre-order. Figure and Tesla in the US say they want homes eventually, and Chinese makers such as Unitree sell small humanoids to hobbyists and schools. Most of the rest, including Boston Dynamics, Apptronik and NEURA, are focused on factories and warehouses for now.
This guide groups the makers by country and says what each is actually selling as of November 1, 2026. It covers companies we checked against their own pages or credible reporting. It is not a complete list of the industry.
United States
1X Technologies. Founded in 2014 by Norwegian roboticist Bernt Børnich as Halodi Robotics and renamed 1X in 2022, the company is headquartered in Palo Alto with main manufacturing in Hayward, California, according to Wikipedia. Its OpenAI Startup Fund backing dates to March 2023. NEO is the only home humanoid on the tracker with an order page. See 1X NEO.
Figure AI. Figure’s Figure 03 is designed with homes in mind, and its CEO has said he wants a robot that can do most things in your home autonomously, all day. Today the robots work in industry (BMW’s Spartanburg plant) and in Figure’s own home tests. It reports a $39 billion valuation from its September 2025 Series C. No price or order page exists. See Figure 03.
Tesla. Optimus started early production at Fremont in October 2026. Musk expects outside-customer deliveries around the end of 2027 and has said Tesla would likely sell to the public by then. See Tesla Optimus and when it will be for sale.
Sunday Robotics. Sunday’s Memo is a wheeled, two-armed home robot with a free, invite-only beta planned from late 2026 and shipping at scale in 2027 to 2028. Humanoids Daily’s company note says Sunday raised $165 million in March 2026 at a $1.15 billion valuation. See Sunday Memo.
Weave Robotics. Weave’s Isaac 1, designed and built in San Francisco, is a wheeled laundry and tidying robot. It takes pre-orders at $7,999 or $449 a month, with first California shipments planned for fall 2026, according to The Gadgeteer. It is not a humanoid.
Boston Dynamics. Atlas, launched in production form at CES on January 5, 2026, is an enterprise robot. All 2026 units are committed to Hyundai and Google DeepMind. Boston Dynamics calls home robots a long-term goal. See Atlas.
Apptronik. Apollo is working in designated zones at partner factories and warehouses, including Mercedes-Benz, GXO Logistics and Jabil, according to CNBC. Apptronik raised $520 million in February 2026 at a $5 billion valuation. CNBC’s report does not mention a home robot.
China
In our list, the humanoids ordinary people can order today are Chinese, mostly at the low end. A July 2026 FCC action that limits new foreign-produced models in the US complicates imports; see can you buy a humanoid robot today.
Unitree Robotics. Unitree sells directly through an online shop: the R1 from $4,900, the G1 at $13,500, the H2 at $29,900, plus the H1, listed at $90,000 with a note to contact Unitree for the real price. They are hobby, education and research robots, not chore helpers.
AgiBot. AgiBot’s lineup spans the X, A, G and D series and the C series of commercial cleaning robots. Its store labels the X2 Neo as entertainment and the X2 Ultra as commercial, and buyers contact sales for prices. See AgiBot X2.
Xpeng. The car maker’s IRON humanoid has a production line running and a plan for mass production by the end of 2026 and official deliveries in 2027. Its robotics unit signed agreements for about $900 million in financing in August 2026. See Xpeng IRON.
Fourier. Fourier’s GR-3 is a 165 cm “Care-bot” introduced in August 2025 and shown at CES 2026, with homes and assisted living among its intended settings. No price or sale date. See Fourier GR-3.
Noetix Robotics. Its 94 cm Bumi was pre-sold on JD.com in China for 9,998 yuan from October 2025. See Noetix Bumi.
Germany
NEURA Robotics. NEURA is based in Metzingen, according to Wikipedia. Its 4NE1 has a reservation page with an estimated price of €98,000 and a late-2026 availability estimate, but the page does not say whether it targets homes or industry. NEURA also has a separate household and service robot called MiPA. It announced a Series C of up to US$1.4 billion in June 2026. See NEURA 4NE1.
South Korea
Hyundai is the first and largest customer for Boston Dynamics’ Atlas, with a stated target of factory work at its Georgia Metaplant by 2028, according to Humanoids Daily. We did not verify any Korean home humanoid for sale.
The money behind them
Funding explains why so many of these companies can promise dates they have not met. Figure reports a $39 billion valuation. Apptronik raised $520 million at $5 billion in February 2026. Xpeng’s robotics unit signed about $900 million in financing at an implied valuation of about $6.3 billion. Sunday is valued at $1.15 billion. Startup Fortune reports that as of late August 2026 SoftBank was in talks to buy a majority of 1X at a valuation of about $6 billion, which is unconfirmed. Money buys factories and compute. It does not prove a robot works in a living room, so judge each company by what it has delivered.
