Open data: 120 humanoid robots with prices and specs, and what public labs actually paid for them
Open data: 120 humanoid robots with prices and specs, and what public labs actually paid for them
HumanoidStore publishes an open catalog of 120 humanoid robot models with specifications, sales status, and pricing data, alongside a record of 55 public procurement tenders since January 2024. The dataset includes actual purchase prices paid by universities and institutes in 14 countries, contrasting list prices with real-world costs, while noting limitations in model identification and geographic coverage.

Hi all. We keep HumanoidStore, an independent catalog of humanoid robots, and we publish its data openly under CC BY 4.0. Posting it here because choosing a humanoid for a lab usually starts with a spreadsheet nobody wants to rebuild.
There are two tables.
The catalog (120 machines): sales status, who can actually buy it, list price and the month it was checked, delivered price to the US and to Germany, FCC ID where one is on record, height, weight, DOF, battery, payload, hands, documented uses and number of sellers. CSV and JSON: https://humanoidstore.co/data?utm_source=ros-discourse&utm_medium=forum
The public purchase record (55 tenders since January 2024, 37 awarded, in 14 countries): universities and institutes have to publish what they pay, so this is what labs paid rather than what a price list says. Every row links to its official notice: https://humanoidstore.co/tenders?utm_source=ros-discourse&utm_medium=forum
A few things that stood out:
- CNRS in Nancy paid EUR 157,700 before VAT for three Unitree G1 EDU (about EUR 52,600 each), with four bids.
- The University of Boras paid SEK 1,030,502 before VAT for one Unitree H2, with one bid.
- 12 of the 29 competitive awards drew a single bid.
- The median time from call to award was 122 days, so plan for about four months.
- Dealers won 29 of the 37 awards. Makers sold directly in the other 8.
It is not complete. A model is named only where the notice names it, and many notices do not. The EU is covered through TED; outside it we only read USAspending.gov and the UK’s Contracts Finder. If you know a public purchase we missed, or a spec is wrong, tell us here and we will fix it.
Disclosure: we earn from some seller links and from running purchases for buyers. The data is free either way.

Implications for data suppliers
RoboSignal interpretation and collection questions, not statements of buyer demand.
- Confirm the required data type and collection setting with the buyer; this source does not establish a complete collection specification.
- Compare the reported units and scope before using these quantities in a budget. Recording hours, sensor-hours and trajectories are different measures.
- Validate demand and acceptance criteria with a buyer before scaling. Publication, popularity and a research result do not establish a purchase commitment.
