Companies are advancing humanoid robots designed for home use, but steep price tags keep these futuristic helpers far beyond the reach of the average consumer—and this is what makes Noetix Robotics' Bumi such a standout. Touted as "the world's first high-performance humanoid robot," Bumi is an innovation from the Chinese robotics startup priced under ¥10,000, or about $1,370. Comparable to a high-end laptop in terms of pricing, Bumi stands 37" tall, weighs about 26 pounds, and walks, dances, and performs complex movements on two legs.
Pre-orders for Bumi are scheduled to open between China's Double 11 and Double 12 shopping festivals. Thanks to its open programming interface, Bumi appeals to developers, students and hobbyists.
