"Humanoid robots from Unitree, Boston Dynamics, and UBTech are already showcasing where our future lies. However, they're still out of the reach of common tech enthusiasts. Unitree gave it their best shot at creating the affordable R1 humanoid robot priced at $6,000, but that is still on the higher side for most. Now, Beijing-based startup Noetix Robotics has created ripples in the humanoid sphere with its compact humanoid robot that asks a price tag you could ditch your next flagship smartphone purchase for."
"The robot developed over a period of two years is priced at 9,998 Yuan (approximately $1,400), going to be up for pre-order later this year, most likely in time for the holiday season. This development is a glaring preview of how affordable robots are going to be a part of every household in the near future. According to Noetix, their humanoid robot is a strong signal of "entry of humanoid robots into the consumer market.""
Noetix Robotics developed a compact humanoid robot named Bumi over two years and priced it at 9,998 Yuan (about $1,400) for upcoming pre-orders. The robot weighs 26.5 pounds, stands three feet tall, and walks on two legs while performing dance moves and acting as a personal assistant. The open programming interface supports graphical programming and coding education, enabling skill acquisition and scripted classroom tasks via spoken commands. The design targets educational and family use, offering an entry-level, affordable alternative to higher-end humanoids. China is advancing affordable humanoid development and positioning consumer humanoids for household adoption.
