Which humanoid robots can you actually buy in 2026?
Yes, you can order 10 humanoid robots today. They run from the Unitree R1 (from about $4,900) to the Engineered Arts Ameca ($250,000). Another 4 are deployed at customer sites under contract but are not for sale to the public. The famous ones most people mean when they ask this question, the Tesla Optimus and the Boston Dynamics Atlas, you cannot buy at any price: neither has an order page, a reservation queue, or a shipped unit. Every row below links to the verified registry record where its price claims and sources live.
Availability and price are sourced from the DEPLOY registry. How we verify.
Tier 1 - Actually orderable (10)
Humanoids you can put money down on today: shipping now, preorder open, or an active waitlist. Prices are verified from published manufacturer pricing where available; figures marked (target) are manufacturer target prices, not confirmed sale prices.

Tier 2 - Deployed at partners, not for sale (4)
These humanoids are operating at customer sites under contract. There is no consumer or open enterprise purchase channel: you cannot put in an order, only enter a commercial pilot or lease relationship with the maker.
| Provenance | Robot | Maker | Channel |
|---|---|---|---|
| DEPLOY VERIFIED | Agility Robotics | Robot-as-a-service lease | |
| DEPLOY VERIFIED | Apptronik | Robot-as-a-service lease | |
| DEPLOY VERIFIED | Figure AI | Commercial pilot only | |
| DEPLOY VERIFIED | Figure AI | Commercial pilot only |
Tier 3 - Cannot be bought, despite the hype (16)
You cannot buy a Tesla Optimus in 2026. Tesla has published price targets but has never opened orders, a reservation queue, or shipped a unit to a paying customer. The same is true across this tier: these robots have price claims, demos, and press, but no purchase channel of any kind. See the price and availability rulings for Optimus: Optimus price / Optimus availability. Every row links to the model record where its claims ledger lives.
