Physical companions · Evidence over hype

Humanoid & Home Robots

Companionship is starting to grow a body. We track the machines the same way we review AI companion apps — by what you actually get for your money. Every profile separates verifiable evidence (deliveries, prices, filings) from promises, and because we haven't tested these robots hands-on, you'll find no star ratings here — availability status and sourced facts only, until we can earn better.

Home & companion robots

Ranked by readiness →

The robots aimed at living rooms. The honest headline for 2026: two pre-orders, one beta, one developer kit, one promise.

Social & companion robots

Ranked by what ships →

Robots whose whole job is company — our core beat, embodied. The surprise of this segment: the machines that actually ship aren't humanoids, and the most famous promise (Ballie) never shipped at all.

Industrial & SMB humanoids

All humanoids, ranked by evidence →

Where the real deployments are. Several makers say homes are next — these profiles are how we'll hold them to it.

The data behind these pages

Every fact on this side of the site traces to a named, linked source — maker pricing pages, filings, and primary reporting. The full sourced dataset (prices, availability, deployments, funding for all 24machines) lives on the Humanoid Robot Tracker, free to cite. Rankings are 3 evidence-based lists — readiness, not star scores. New to the vocabulary? The glossary covers VLAs, teleoperation, world models, and the rest.
