      <description>Flourish, a San Francisco and Paris startup, launched the Flourish One, a $3,555 wheeled humanoid for household chores such as tidying and taking out trash. It has two arms that each carry 1.5 kg, runs on a Raspberry Pi, and owners teach it tasks with a smartphone. A first batch of 50 units should ship before Christmas 2026. Why it matters: Humanoids under $5,000 are arriving, but light payloads and small first batches mean buyers should match the stated tasks and limits to their own home before ordering.

      <description>Boston Dynamics opened the Robotics Metaplant Application Center at Hyundai&apos;s Metaplant America near Savannah, Georgia, where Atlas humanoids train on parts sequencing and logistics tasks using real automotive parts. Hyundai plans to deploy 25,000 Atlas units across its plants over the coming years and is building a U.S. factory able to make up to 30,000 robots a year by 2028. Why it matters: Even the largest buyers prove each task on real parts before scaling. Smaller sites can follow the same pattern with a scoped trial, such as THG&apos;s Pilot program, before committing to a fleet.

      <title>Agility unveils Digit 5 with 50-pound lifts and nine-minute charging</title>

      <category>Launch</category>
      <description>Agility Robotics introduced Digit 5, with new legs, repeated lifts of up to 50 pounds, 90 minutes of runtime and a nine-minute recharge, enough for more than 20 hours of work a day. It detects people all around it and signals its intent. Early access starts in the first half of 2027, with general availability by the end of 2027. Why it matters: Run-to-charge ratio and built-in people detection decide how many shifts a humanoid can cover and where it may work. Compare those figures, not just headline payload, when shortlisting.

      <title>XPeng&apos;s robotics unit Dogotix raises $900M to build IRON humanoids at scale</title>

      <category>Funding</category>
      <description>Dogotix, the robotics subsidiary of Chinese carmaker XPeng, raised $900 million at a post-transaction valuation of $6.3 billion, in a round led by IDG Capital with Alibaba and Tencent taking part. It aims to produce 1,000 IRON humanoids a month by the end of 2026, with commercial deliveries to retail stores and industrial campuses starting in 2027. Why it matters: Carmakers bring mass-production experience to humanoids, which should widen choice and put pressure on prices. Until units actually ship, treat announced volumes and delivery dates as targets.

      <title>Unitree lists in Shanghai after selling 5,215 humanoids in 2025</title>
      <link>https://shopahumanoid.com/updates#2026-08-19-unitree-lists-in-shanghai-after-selling-5-215-humanoids-in-2025</link>

      <category>Market</category>
      <description>Hangzhou-based Unitree Robotics debuted on Shanghai&apos;s STAR Market and closed its first day 460% higher, after raising 6.1 billion yuan, about $905 million. The company went from selling five humanoids in 2023 to 5,215 in 2025, with around 70% going to universities and research institutions. Its G1 humanoid is offered for about $13,500. Why it matters: Most humanoids sold so far are research platforms rather than factory workers. A low price is only a bargain if the SDK, support and spare parts suit the work you have planned.

      <title>1X opens California NEO factory with capacity for 10,000 humanoids a year</title>

      <category>Milestone</category>
      <description>1X Technologies opened a 58,000-square-foot factory in Hayward, California, able to build 10,000 NEO home humanoids a year, with a target of more than 100,000 a year by the end of 2027. NEO costs $20,000 for early access or $499 a month, and the first customer deliveries are planned for 2026. Why it matters: A monthly plan lowers the entry cost of a home humanoid. Set the fee against ownership over the years you expect to use it; THG&apos;s ROI and total-cost calculator lays the two side by side.
