Noetix Bumi

¥9,998 (~$1,370) at announcement — among the cheapest full bipedal humanoids on the market. Preorders opened around China's Nov–Dec 2025 shopping festivals; by 2026 it's listed as available through JD.com and a handful of international resellers, though robotindex hasn't independently confirmed direct-to-consumer shipping outside China.

Built with lightweight composite materials and a self-developed motion control system to hit its price point. Noetix has published limited technical detail beyond battery and dimensions — no official DOF count, camera specs, or compute hardware has been disclosed. The robot ships with an open programming interface, alongside a drag-and-drop graphical tool for younger users.

Announced at ¥9,998 (~$1,370), Bumi is among the cheapest full bipedal humanoids to reach market, per TechNode and Interesting Engineering's coverage of its October 2025 announcement — a concrete price point that meaningfully undercuts most category peers. Noetix has disclosed no official DOF count, camera specs, or compute hardware to contextualize that price. Noetix Robotics itself is well capitalized: on March 2, 2026 it closed a Series B round of nearly ¥1 billion (~$146M) — its ninth financing round overall — led by Chendao Capital (affiliated with battery maker CATL), with CAS Investment Management and Unity Ventures also participating. That's company-level funding rather than money tied to Bumi specifically, but it's a relevant signal for a budget product line's staying power.
