A humanoid developed for household chores and conversation, with early-access US deliveries planned.
Route to market
Home robotics
Home relevance
Very high
Face and form
Soft fabric-covered body and non-human digital face
Hands
22 degrees of freedom per hand stated
Availability
US deliveries are scheduled for 2026. Early access is US$20,000 or a later US$499 monthly subscription; expansion beyond the US is planned from 2027.
Published price
US$20,000 or US$499/month
Care relevance
Potentially important for later-life support, but early autonomy is limited and difficult tasks may involve scheduled remote human supervision, with obvious privacy implications.
A human-presenting humanoid moving from development toward scaled commercial deployment. XPENG plans initial use in its own stores and campuses before external China and overseas deliveries in 2027.
Route to market
Commercial service first
Home relevance
High long-term
Face and form
Human-like proportions, soft outer skin and head display
Hands
21 degrees of freedom per hand
Availability
XPENG expects mass production by the end of 2026, followed by an official launch and deliveries to external customers in China and overseas markets in 2027. No UK consumer sale or care deployment has been announced.
Published price
Not published
Care relevance
The overseas-delivery plan makes IRON more relevant to the future UK market, but announced deployments are retail and service rather than elder care. There is no published evidence of safe unsupervised care in a home.
Fourier's full-size GR-3 is explicitly positioned as a Care-bot for interactive companionship and public-service use.
Route to market
Interactive service / care-oriented development
Home relevance
Medium / high long-term
Face and form
Soft-covered full-size humanoid with animated eye displays
Hands
6-DoF dexterous hands standard; optional 12-DoF version
Availability
Fourier offers purchase enquiries. No normal UK consumer retail route or public UK price is published.
Published price

Care relevance
Highly relevant by design intent, but 'Care-bot' is Fourier's positioning. Public material does not establish validated unsupervised elder-care performance in a UK home.
A home-focused humanoid backed by unusually strong demonstrations of multi-stage kitchen, bedroom and living-room tasks.
Route to market
Home and general-purpose work
Home relevance
Very high
Face and form
Softened non-human head and home-oriented body
Hands
Dexterous manipulation
Availability
Figure reports producing more than 350 third-generation robots and increasing factory throughput, but does not offer a public consumer purchase route.
Published price
Not published
Care relevance
Among the most relevant platforms for future practical home help. Demonstrations and fleet production still do not establish consumer availability or care-grade reliability.
A newer interactive humanoid that places more emphasis on social presentation than many factory-first machines.
Route to market
Interactive service and development
Home relevance
Medium
Face and form
Friendly stylised face and full-size interactive form

Interactive humanoid configuration
Availability
Launched in May 2026 with an official order-consultation route; price and UK support are not public.

Care relevance
Its appearance and interaction focus are closer to the direction a domestic companion may take, while practical household capability needs independent demonstration.
A 173 cm, 55 kg humanoid intended for guided services, exhibitions, education and other public-facing work, with UK commercial activity already under way.
Route to market
Public-facing service and development
Home relevance
Medium
Face and form
Stylised human-shaped head with a more natural overall silhouette
Hands
Manipulation platform; configuration varies
Availability
European debut held in London in June 2026. AGIBOT announced a UK Robot-as-a-Service model and publishes overseas after-sales terms.

Quote / RaaS
Care relevance
Battery claims, interaction features and a less industrial appearance make it relevant to future home support. Announced deployments are commercial.
One of the lowest-priced modern humanoids available to private buyers, with direct international ordering and a UK specialist retail route.
Route to market
Consumer, education and development
Home relevance
Medium
Face and form
Compact synthetic head without a human skin face
Hands
No dexterous hands on R1 Air or standard R1; optional on R1 EDU
Availability
Orderable directly from Unitree for international delivery and listed by a UK specialist retailer. Direct buyers remain responsible for applicable tax, customs and import clearance.
Published price
R1 Air US$4,900; R1 US$5,900 before tax and shipping
Care relevance
Its price makes humanoid ownership much more accessible, but roughly one-hour battery life, limited manipulation on consumer versions and no elder-care validation keep it firmly in the development/enthusiast category.
An established compact humanoid platform with roughly two-hour runtime and several UK purchase routes, but the basic configuration lacks dexterous hands and developer access.
Route to market
Research, education and development
Home relevance
Low to medium
Face and form
Clearly mechanical head and body
Hands
Basic G1 has fixed non-dexterous hands; dexterous options available on G1 EDU
Availability
Orderable for UK buyers through Unitree and UK-facing robotics retailers. Unitree currently marks the basic G1 as backordered; retailer stock and lead times vary.
Published price
US$13,500 direct before tax/shipping; UK listings from about £14,744 inc VAT
Care relevance
More capable and longer-running than the cheaper R1, especially in EDU configurations, but there is still no evidence supporting safe autonomous home care.
A full-size 31-DoF humanoid with substantially higher arm payload than R1 or G1 and a genuine UK retail route.
Route to market
Research, development and professional deployment
Home relevance
Medium
Face and form
Full-size 182 cm humanoid with a bionic head and facial features
Hands
Standard H2 has no dexterous hand; H2 EDU supports multiple dexterous-hand options
Availability
Listed by Unitree at a public price and by RoboSavvy with a UK price and add-to-cart route.
Published price
US$29,900 direct before tax/shipping; UK listing from about £33,853 inc VAT
Care relevance
The higher payload and human-scale reach are relevant to future domestic work, but size, cost and lack of care validation make H2 a professional development platform rather than a home carer.
Unitree's earlier full-size humanoid family remains commercially obtainable in the UK at professional-research pricing.
Route to market
Research, development and professional deployment
Home relevance
Low to medium
Face and form
Full-size mechanical humanoid
Hands
Dexterous hands are optional depending on configuration
Availability
Listed by RoboSavvy with UK prices, configuration options and an add-to-cart route; Unitree also markets H1/H1-2 directly.
Published price
UK listing from about £73,262 inc VAT
Care relevance
Powerful locomotion and optional manipulation make H1/H1-2 useful research platforms, but there is no basis for treating them as autonomous domestic carers.
