Humanoid Robots Comparison Table: Specs, Status, and India Availability
Grading Methodology
RobotWale evaluates humanoid platforms strictly by deployment maturity. Shipping hardware that has passed factory integration and customer handoff ranks highest. Pilot deployments in controlled industrial or research environments rank second. Public announcements, render releases, and prototype-only platforms rank last. All specifications are drawn from manufacturer data sheets, on-stage demonstrations, and independent verification where available. India availability and pricing are noted separately, as the domestic supply chain for full-scale humanoids remains in early procurement and pilot phases.

Shipping Hardware & Early Commercial Deployments
Agility Robotics Digit
Digit is the only full-scale humanoid currently shipping in measurable quantities for commercial logistics. The platform measures 175 cm tall, weighs 75 kg, and uses series-elastic electric actuation across 24 degrees of freedom. Agility has integrated Digit into Amazon’s fulfillment network for verified pilot runs, focusing on carton handling, shelf inspection, and sortation. The robot operates on ROS 2 with an onboard NVIDIA GPU for perception and motion planning. Battery life averages 4 to 6 hours per charge, with swappable packs for continuous shifts. Agility has not published a public price sheet, but enterprise licensing typically ranges from USD 120,000 to 180,000 per unit plus integration. India availability is restricted to pilot imports through authorized robotics integrators. Landed cost estimates, including base import duty, customs processing, and 18% GST, place Digit at approximately INR 1.15 to 1.35 crore per unit, excluding software licensing and site integration.
Unitree G1 & H1
Unitree has moved past prototype stages with the G1 and H1, both shipping to research institutions, universities, and engineering firms. The G1 stands at 127 cm and weighs 33 kg, optimized for lightweight manipulation and academic research. The H1 measures 180 cm and weighs 47 kg, focusing on bipedal locomotion, dynamic balance, and open-source development. Both platforms use electric actuation with high-torque motors and run on Ubuntu with ROS 2. Unitree provides SDK access, motion primitives, and simulation environments. Pricing is transparent: the G1 ships at USD 16,900 and the H1 at USD 20,600. India distributors list the G1 at approximately INR 14.5 lakh and the H1 at INR 17.8 lakh (landed cost estimates flagged). These prices include base shipping, customs clearance, and standard GST, but exclude third-party integration, spare parts, or localized support contracts. Both units are available for direct import through robotics supply channels in Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Gurugram.
Pilot Deployments & Factory Trials
Figure 02
Figure AI’s 02 platform measures 173 cm tall and weighs 68 kg, utilizing custom electric joints and a unified Figure OS stack. The platform has entered pilot deployments at BMW’s Spartanburg facility and with Walmart for warehouse trials. These deployments focus on object manipulation, pick-and-place, and facility navigation. Figure integrates an NVIDIA Orin compute module and publishes periodic integration updates rather than public spec sheets. The company has not released a commercial price list, and enterprise pilots are negotiated case-by-case. India availability does not include official distribution or pilot channels. Landed cost estimates for a comparable enterprise pilot unit range from INR 1.4 to 1.7 crore, excluding software licensing, remote support, and site-specific safety certification.
Apptronik Apollo
Apptronik’s Apollo measures 170 cm and weighs 76 kg, built around harmonic drive actuation and a ROS 2-based Apollo OS. The platform has been deployed in pilot settings with DHL, FedEx, and several healthcare networks for package handling, inventory checks, and nurse assistant trials. Apollo emphasizes modularity, allowing tooling swaps and battery upgrades. Apptronik publishes integration guides but maintains pricing under NDA for enterprise pilots. India availability is limited to consultation and pilot import requests through robotics systems integrators. Landed cost estimates for Apollo pilot units range from INR 1.3 to 1.6 crore, including base duty, GST, and standard freight. Maintenance and spare actuator kits are not stocked domestically, requiring lead times of 4 to 8 weeks for replacement.
Announcements & Engineering Prototypes
Tesla Optimus Gen 2
Tesla’s Optimus Gen 2 stands at 173 cm and weighs 57 kg, featuring custom electric actuators and an onboard compute stack tied to Tesla’s Dojo and FSD architecture. The platform has been demonstrated in Tesla’s own factories for parts transfer and assembly support, but these demonstrations remain internal engineering trials rather than commercial deployments. Tesla has not published a technical white paper, independent spec verification, or public pricing. The platform is not available for purchase or pilot import in India. If released commercially, landed cost estimates for a similar enterprise-grade platform would likely exceed INR 2.5 crore, factoring in base hardware, proprietary software licensing, and safety certification requirements.
Fourier Intelligence GR-1
Fourier’s GR-1 measures 173 cm and weighs 60 kg, utilizing custom electric joints and a ROS 2 development stack. The platform has been announced for research and development pilots, with early deployments focused on academic labs and engineering prototyping. Fourier publishes integration documentation but maintains a closed commercial pricing model. India availability is limited to consultation and pilot import channels. Landed cost estimates for GR-1 pilot units range from INR 1.2 to 1.5 crore, excluding third-party integration, localized training, and safety compliance. The platform remains in early commercial transition, with shipping hardware status pending verified factory integration and customer handoff.
India Availability & Market Notes
Humanoid robotics in India remains in the pilot and procurement phase. No manufacturer has established official distribution, service centers, or localized training programs within the country. Procurement typically occurs through authorized robotics integrators, university research grants, or enterprise pilot agreements. Import duties for full-scale humanoid platforms range from 15% to 25% on the base CIF value, with 18% GST applied to the total landed cost. Freight, customs brokerage, and safety certification add 8% to 12% to base pricing. Landed cost estimates provided in this article are clearly flagged and based on standard robotics import channels. Buyers should budget for additional costs including site-specific safety audits, network integration, spare actuator kits, and remote technical support. Until domestic manufacturing or authorized service hubs are established, Indian organizations should plan for 6 to 9 month procurement cycles and 12 to 18 month pilot deployment timelines.
