Humanoid Robots See Sharp Price Drop in 2026
In May 2026, the humanoid robotics industry witnessed something unthinkable just a year ago: mass price collapse. Bumi launched a humanoid robot called Bumi at a starting price of 9,998 RMB — not 99,000, but under ten thousand yuan. Unitree Robotics slashed its R1 to 29,900 RMB and G1 to 85,000 RMB. Xingchen Intelligence priced its T1 at 89,900 RMB, while Ubtech's consumer-grade U1 started at 128,000 RMB and sold nearly 4,000 units in 10 days of pre-sales. Just one year ago,
In 2026, the cost of humanoid robots has significantly decreased, making them more accessible. Bumi introduced a model priced at 9,998 RMB, while Unitree Robotics reduced prices for its R1 and G1 models. Xingchen Intelligence and Ubtech also offered competitive pricing. A year ago, similar models were priced much higher, with long waiting times. Second-hand models from the previous year are now available at lower prices. Rental costs have also dropped. The price drop is due to supply chain improvements, domestic component production, and engineering adjustments. These changes aim to increase market presence and data collection for further development.
The price reductions are part of a strategy to expand market reach and enhance data collection for robot development.
