Top 10 Humanoid Robot Launches of 2026 So Far (as of June 12)

Bolt earned its place by turning a record into a product. MirrorMe Technology launched the 175 cm, 75 kg humanoid on February 2, 2026 after it hit 10 m/s, about 22 mph, in a real-world sprint test. Redesigned high-power joints keep a natural running gait and balance at that speed, and more than 40 degrees of freedom support a payload of 20 kg while moving. It runs three to five hours per charge. No other launch in the first half of the year came close to Bolt's top speed.

Sprout is the launch to watch for developers. Fauna Robotics came out of stealth with it on January 27, 2026, offering a 107 cm, 22.7 kg humanoid with 29 degrees of freedom for $50,000 in the Creator Edition. Compliant legs and soft materials make it safe around people, while NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin compute and a ZED 2i camera give teams a ready platform for physical AI work. It walks at 0.8 m/s and runs about three hours, a modest spec sheet with an open door for research.

Moya set out to look and feel alive rather than powerful. DroidUp unveiled it on February 4, 2026 in Shanghai's Zhangjiang Robotics Valley as a 1.65 m, 32 kg biomimetic humanoid. Its skin is kept warm at 32 to 36°C, it can smile and wink, and its gait is rated 92% human-like. A modular head supports eye contact, which is why the maker points it at elder care and social roles. At USD 173,000, it is priced as a showcase machine.

Jupiter was one of the full-size bipeds at CES 2026. Zeroth Intelligence introduced the 1.65 m, 60 kg humanoid in January with a lineup of home and service robots. It can switch between autonomous navigation and remote teleoperation, which suits precision jobs where a human may need to step in. Jupiter walks at 3 km/h, climbs stairs, avoids obstacles and carries 5 kg per arm for about four hours on a 2 kWh battery. The official launch price is USD 89,999.

Onero H1 is SwitchBot's first humanoid and one of the cheapest ambitions of the half-year. Unveiled at CES 2026, the 1.3 m wheeled robot has 22 degrees of freedom in its arms and hands and runs SwitchBot's OmniSense vision-language-action model on-device. It can serve coffee, wash dishes and fold laundry, moving at 1.5 km/h for safety. SwitchBot has targeted a price under $10,000 for a late-2026 release, which would put a general household robot within reach of far more buyers.

The Honor D1, nicknamed Lightning, made the list by winning the 2026 Beijing E-Town Humanoid Robot Half-Marathon in April in 50 minutes 26 seconds, and it also took the Best Design Award. At 169 cm and 45 kg, with legs 90 to 95 cm long and built to copy an elite runner's stride, it is among the lightest and fastest full-size bipeds. Honor, a smartphone maker, lists a top speed of 25.2 km/h. The D1 signals that consumer-electronics brands now compete in embodied AI.

Luna brought showmanship to the half-year. LimX Dynamics introduced the 160 cm, 27-degree-of-freedom humanoid in May 2026 at RMB 298,000, about $41,000. Evolved from the Oli platform, Luna swaps an industrial look for a rounded head and curved body and can perform gymnastics-style illusion turns and catwalk walks. It weighs 56 kg, runs about four hours at up to 5 km/h and targets interaction research, luxury reception and performance, where appearance and smooth movement count as much as lifting power.

UBTECH's Walker C1, unveiled on May 23, 2026, is a service humanoid made for people-facing spaces. The 165 cm, 50 kg robot has 26 degrees of freedom and focuses on navigation, route following and obstacle avoidance for hospitality, exhibitions and visitor centers, rather than heavy lifting. It upgrades the Walker C that UBTECH showed at the World Robot Conference in August 2025. UBTECH says the C1 is still a prototype and not yet for sale, so buyers cannot yet order it.

TRON 2 earned a spot for flexibility and price. LimX Dynamics launched it in May 2026 as a modular platform that can be configured as a dual-arm robot, a biped or a wheeled biped. Walking reaches 2 to 3 m/s and wheeled-leg mode 3 to 5 m/s. The robot has 26 degrees of freedom, arms that carry 5 kg each and a swappable 46.8 V, 9 Ah pack for about four hours. LimX lists it at $7,000 to $10,000, the lowest price on this list.

Kengo is notable for who built it. Galaxea Dynamics, known for wheeled dual-arm robots such as the R1, unveiled its first self-developed bipedal humanoid on June 2, 2026. Kengo stands about 1.4 m tall, with a curved head display, three color schemes and a build aimed at durable industrial deployment. Joint torque above 130 N·m supports high-dynamic movement and terrain adaptation, and a motion controller works with Galaxea's AI models. The company has not published a verified price or battery figure.
