Explore →Fresh from the library.

A technical assessment of DRDO's humanoid, bipedal, and combat robotics programs. Claims are graded by verified shipping hardware, pilot deployments, and laboratory announcements. India availability is restricted to defence procurement pathways, with cost parameters estimated from public MoD contracting patterns.

A grounded assessment of humanoid robotics research across IIT Madras, IIT Bombay, IISc Bangalore, and partner institutions, focusing on shipped prototypes, control systems, component sourcing, and actual deployment status rather than conceptual roadmaps.

A grounded analysis of Honda’s ASIMO program, documenting its control architecture, actuation design, verified deployments, and measurable influence on modern humanoid robotics, with explicit grading of claims and India market context.

A grounded assessment of Boston Dynamics’ humanoid and mobile robotics lab, evaluating hardware maturity, control architecture, pilot deployments, and India market logistics without conceptual speculation.

Practical guide to warranty terms, spare parts logistics, and service support for early humanoid robot buyers, with India availability and landed cost estimates.

A practical breakdown of India’s import regulations, HS code classification, customs duty, GST, and clearing procedures for commercial humanoid robots. Covers landed cost estimation, compliance checkpoints, documentation requirements, and current India availability for buyers and integrators.

A practical breakdown of which humanoid robot manufacturers are currently accepting pre-orders, realistic delivery windows, and landed cost estimates for the Indian market, graded by actual hardware shipment status rather than concept renders.

A measured breakdown of global humanoid robot pricing, translated to Indian Rupees with customs, GST, and landed cost estimates for verified shipping hardware and pilot deployments. Covers import classification, duty structures, procurement pathways, and what buyers must verify before purchasing.

A grounded assessment of humanoid locomotion metrics, grading walking speed and gait stability by shipping hardware, pilot deployments, and announcements, with India availability and landed cost estimates.
Humanoid launches, deployments, funding and India-focused coverage - in one place.






Humanoid robotics is one of the most exciting fields in tech - and also one of the noisiest. We cover what is shipping, what it costs, and how it actually behaves in the real world. Especially in India.
