Botlero

17 humanoid robots for research use

17 of the 31 humanoid robots documented on Botlero appear here, because for each one a source states research as an application class or user type for the robot. They come from 11 manufacturers in 5 countries, Unitree Robotics with 4 of them.

Published heights run from 107 cm to 182 cm. Weights run from 22.7 kg to 150 kg, with a median of 55 kg. Degrees of freedom run from 20 to 42 across the 17 that publish a total. 16 of them publish a rated payload, the highest 50 kg on LimX Luna. 16 of them publish a starting price, from $4,900 to $350,000, and 3 of those figures come from the maker's own page rather than a directory.

By how the robot moves: Bipedal 12 and Wheeled 5. By how far from a shipping product it is: Prototype 5, General availability 3 and R&D 3, and 2 further values. By the country a source names as the robot's design origin: China 13, South Korea 1 and Spain 1, and 2 further values. By what a source says it costs to buy one: Under $20,000 3, $50,000 to $100,000 3 and $20,000 to $50,000 3, and 1 further value. Between them these pages publish 1,103 sourced specifications of a possible 17 × 195, from 42 to 104 per robot.

Every value below carries the URL it came from, a verbatim quote from that page and the date it was checked — click one to see them — and a value no source states is not shown.
