Robot Price Index Q4 2026: 88.3% of catalog robots have no verified MSRP

88.3% of robots in RoboHub’s active catalog have no verified manufacturer list price. Among cobots, 21 of 30 (70%) are explicitly quote-only. Where list prices are verified, the median is USD 20,000 for humanoids and USD 3,100 for quadrupeds, based on 7 humanoid and 7 quadruped price records. We calculated this snapshot on 2026-10-13 UTC from the public catalog merge, using active records and stored manufacturer-source USD MSRP evidence.

Five headline numbers

• 88.3% (301 of 341) of active records have no verified MSRP.
• 70% (21 of 30) of cobots are explicitly quote-only.
• USD 20,000 is the median verified humanoid list price.
• USD 3,100 is the median verified quadruped list price.
• 25 records have a verified MSRP absent from the previous report’s verified-price set.

How to read these numbers

Across the active catalog, 301 records (88.3%) have no verified MSRP. That includes 140 explicit quote-only records, 157 records with no price provenance, and 4 estimates excluded from price statistics. Only 1 of 8 categories has an explicit quote-only majority. The table therefore supports a claim about missing verified prices in RoboHub, not a claim that every manufacturer hides prices. A quote-only flag can also mean that a maker publishes a price in another currency, but no verified USD MSRP is recorded.

Minimum, median and maximum appear only for groups with at least 3 verified records. A dash means the sample is too small. Category describes the catalog's application label; form is a separate code-derived classification. These groups can mix configurations and uses, so their medians are not like-for-like purchasing benchmarks.

This is a catalog evidence snapshot. The previous report used public pages; this one uses canonical active records. Different populations and denominators prevent a market-wide price-trend comparison.

Verified list-price medians cover 7 humanoid records and 7 quadruped records. The humanoid group includes educational robots such as Robotical Marty. Product variants, taxes, freight, installation and recurring charges limit direct comparisons.

What changed since the previous report

The report dated 2026-10-02 recorded 15 verified prices among 342 public pages. The current merged catalog contains 367 canonical records; 26 discontinued or superseded records are excluded, leaving 341 active records. The exact slug comparison finds 25 newly recorded verified prices. These are additions to the evidence set, not necessarily new robot launches.

The following table covers the earlier correction set. The ledger records 4 sale-to-list corrections during the initial store-sweep draft review and 2 later corrections to the deployed catalog. The table shows the resulting verified list prices, not the discarded promotional amounts. EBO X and mBot2 were absent from the previous report; their corrections therefore are not price increases measured against that report.

Record	Corrected list price (USD)	Stored source date	Correction stage
Autel Robotics EVO Max 4N	USD 13,382	2026-10-03	Initial draft review
Enabot EBO Air	USD 199	2026-10-03	Initial draft review
Enabot EBO SE	USD 139	2026-10-03	Initial draft review
Enabot EBO X	USD 999	2026-10-08	Later catalog correction
Eilik	USD 149.99	2026-10-03	Initial draft review
Makeblock mBot2	USD 177.99	2026-10-08	Later catalog correction

For the verified records present in both reports, LilMilo White changed from USD 599 to USD 799 in the stored evidence (source date 2026-10-03). This is a catalog evidence update; it does not establish a like-for-like transaction-price increase.

For the verified records present in both reports, Makeblock Codey Rocky changed from USD 139.99 to USD 155.99 in the stored evidence (source date 2026-10-13). This is a catalog evidence update; it does not establish a like-for-like transaction-price increase.

For the verified records present in both reports, Makeblock mBot Ranger changed from USD 169.99 to USD 209.99 in the stored evidence (source date 2026-10-13). This is a catalog evidence update; it does not establish a like-for-like transaction-price increase.

Verified MSRP records and source dates

Each amount below comes from a record labelled MSRP in the catalog, with its recorded manufacturer source and review date. The date is not a fresh verification performed for this article. “New” identifies a verified-price record absent from the previous report's verified set. Variant labels and notes remain available in the dataset.
