Subscription
Required (channel-dependent)US resellers sell a "temi Pro" software subscription (~$2,499/3-yr, auto-renews to lifetime) as required per unit for full functionality; a Japanese distributor instead sells only via annual license (¥1.69–1.8M/yr) rather than outright purchase
Reference Price
Pricing is inconsistent and not transparently published by the manufacturer: US reseller RobotLAB lists an outright purchase price starting around $4,499 or a lease at roughly $125/month over 36 months, while a Japanese distributor instead sells temi V3 on an annual license model (about ¥1.69M/year Wi-Fi or ¥1.8M/year cellular). Robotemi's own site lists no price at all, just "in stock."
Insights
Security history: in March 2020, McAfee's Advanced Threat Research disclosed four CVEs in temi's software, including hard-coded credentials and an authentication bypass that could let an attacker remotely take control of a robot's camera and calling functions with no authentication — a legitimate concern for a mobile device with a camera and mic placed in homes and care facilities. temi patched the issues within about four months (July 2020), and no newer vulnerability disclosures have been found since.
Firmware & Community
robotemi/sdk
temi's own official Android-based developer SDK for programming movement, navigation, and app functionality on temi robots.
Verified against Robotemi's own site (robotemi.com), enterprise reseller listings (RobotLAB, Displays2Go, Useabot), a Japanese distributor's product and pricing pages (hapi-robo, robotemi.jp), McAfee's 2020 vulnerability disclosure and corroborating security-press coverage, and business press on Robocore's funding and growth (SCMP, HKSTP, HKTDC, Forbes references via secondary coverage). No dedicated hands-on review of temi V3 specifically was found from major tech-review outlets — most V3-era coverage is company/business press rather than product reviews, which is itself flagged as a gap. Total cumulative funding, the exact leadership timeline (Wolf → Goren → Lim), and battery/navigation-accuracy figures are pieced together from partial or manufacturer-only sources and are not independently confirmed. Pricing varies by thousands of dollars depending on region, reseller, and purchase-vs-subscription model, with no single authoritative price published by the manufacturer.
