Editorial summaries
Booster T1
The Booster T1, from China's Booster Robotics, is a research and developer humanoid prominent in the wave of Chinese humanoids shown at CES 2026. There is no verified consumer price or delivery date on record in DEPLOY's registry. DEPLOY classifies its maturity as research and applies verified-vs-claimed discipline: commercial-ramping marketing and demonstrations are common across this cohort, but third-party verified deployment is the bar, and it is not yet met here.
Galaxea R1
Galaxea Dynamics sells the R1 humanoid directly through its own website, with the R1 Pro listed at $69,999 and the R1 Lite at $39,999. The product page states units are in stock and ship within 15 days. Price and availability are verified from the maker's own product page.
