Unitree Robotics A2 Stellar Explorer is a rugged quadruped robot designed to tackle challenging environments. It can traverse difficult terrain, carry payloads of up to 25 kg while walking, and operate for more than five hours or around 20 km on a single charge without a load. It can also climb steep slopes, making it physically capable of accompanying users on demanding hiking adventures.

The most expensive parts in humanoid robots are not the cameras. The real hardware cost is hidden in the parts that move, carry load, survive impact and repeat the same motion thousands of times without failing. Typical hardware cost range per humanoid robot: • Dexterous hands ➝ $9K–$90K The hardest part to make cheap. Each hand needs small actuators, tendons or linkages, tactile sensing, finger joints, wiring and control boards packed into a very small space. • CNC metal frame ➝ $2K–$20K The skeleton must hold motors, batteries, electronics and impact loads. Low volume machining makes this expensive, especially for torso, hip, shoulder and leg structures. • LiDAR ➝ $1K–$15K Used for mapping, navigation and obstacle detection. Cost depends on range, resolution, scan type and whether the robot needs outdoor reliability. • Force-torque sensors ➝ $1K–$5K Critical for balance, manipulation and safe contact. These sensors help the robot measure pressure through wrists, ankles or joints. • Tactile sensors ➝ $500–$5K Needed when a robot must grip soft, fragile or uneven objects. The cost rises fast when sensors cover fingers, palms or large skin-like surfaces. • Actuator modules ➝ $300–$3K each One of the biggest cost drivers. A humanoid can use dozens of actuators across legs, arms, waist, neck and hands. Torque, cooling, gearbox quality and control electronics change the price fast. • Battery pack ➝ $500–$1.5K The battery must deliver high current while staying compact. Weight is a major constraint because every extra kilogram makes the legs work harder. • Compute / GPU ➝ $250–$2K The robot needs onboard compute for vision, control, planning and sensor fusion. Higher autonomy requires more compute, better thermal design and more power. • Harmonic drives ➝ $200–$2K each Used where compact high torque is needed. They are expensive because precision, backlash and durability matter in knees, hips, shoulders and wrists. • Power electronics ➝ $500–$5K Motor drivers, converters, protection circuits and power distribution decide how stable the robot is under heavy motion. • Wiring harness ➝ $300–$3K Humanoids have cables moving through arms, legs, torso and neck. Bad routing means broken wires, noisy signals and hard maintenance. • Precision encoders ➝ $50–$500 each Every joint needs position feedback. Better encoders give smoother motion, better balance and more accurate manipulation. A serious humanoid robot can still carry $35K–$180K in hardware before software, assembly, testing, repair stock, certification and support. That is why the cheapest demo robot is not always the cheapest robot to deploy.

Asimov 1 is an open-source humanoid robot you can build and customize yourself. Two ways to get one: 1) Source the parts yourself: docs.menlo.ai/asimov/1/bom 2) Get the DIY kit: asimov.inc/diy-kit The kit bundles every part as a group buy, cheaper than sourcing one by one, and you build alongside others.
