Why the price matters
Dexterous hands are one of the most expensive parts of a humanoid, and few makers publish a price at all. For scale, Unitree's own store lists the R1 Air humanoid from USD 4,900, the G1 at USD 13,500 and the H2 at USD 29,900.
Across the RoboHub catalog, only 40 of 357 robots have a price we could verify on the maker's own site. See the live price transparency index.
