PNDbotics Adam: Price, Availability & Status (2026)
By PNDbotics
verifiedstatedclaimed⊘absence
👉Adam sits in the research tier of the Chinese humanoid commercial-ramping wave. DEPLOY applies verified-vs-claimed: a stated research pre-order price and a stated China partnership are not the same as verified deployment.
💡Adam is one of the few Chinese humanoids with any stated price (the ~$45,000 research Adam-U), which sets it slightly apart from peers whose pricing is not published at all. It is still a research platform, not a consumer product.

manufacturer target · PNDbotics (Adam-U pre-order) ↗ · announced 2025-06-01
The figure above is the research Adam-U pre-order reference (about $45,000, offered to research institutions), not a confirmed retail sale; other Adam variants have no published consumer price. DEPLOY tags it a manufacturer target to reflect the pre-order, research-only mechanism.
Availability
Preorder open
Adam is not a consumer product. The research Adam-U is offered to institutions on pre-order; there is no broad consumer purchase path or verified delivery record.
Real-world status
Adam, from China's PNDbotics, is a full-size humanoid (~1.6-1.67 m, ~60-63 kg) in several variants (Adam Lite, Adam/Adam SP, the teleop Adam-U, Adam Pro), with quasi-direct-drive actuators and five-finger hands. DEPLOY classifies its maturity as research: the Adam-U pre-order price is stated, a China deployment partnership (Tianyong) is stated, and verified deployment is absent. Part of the Chinese humanoid commercial-ramping wave.
✔Adam is a real full-size humanoid (~1.6-1.67 m) with multiple variants, quasi-direct-drive actuators, and five-finger hands, from PNDbotics in China.
⊘The ~$45,000 figure is a research Adam-U pre-order reference, not a confirmed retail sale, and the Tianyong China deployment is a stated partnership, not a verified deployment. DEPLOY cap-flags both rather than treating them as commercial fact.
