Where it works
Universities, corporate research groups and demonstration work. Full adult scale rather than the compact class of the G1.
The gap between the G1 and the H1 is the clearest illustration of what size costs in this field. Six times the price buys reach, stability and dynamic capability, but not a different business model: both are sold into research, and neither has a rate card. Scaling a body is an engineering problem that money solves; finding it a paying job is not.
Around 90,000 dollars in quotes to research institutions during late 2025 and early 2026. That figure excludes LiDAR payloads, spare battery packs and integration support.
What it means to own one
The quoted price is also a lesson in reading robot pricing generally: it excludes the sensors, spare batteries and integration work that a working deployment requires. Sticker prices in this category are consistently the floor rather than the cost.
For a fleet owner the relevant comparison is not H1 against G1 but H1 against machines of similar cost that already have customers. At ninety thousand dollars, a buyer could instead place several cleaning or service robots that bill every month, which is the trade this catalogue keeps returning to.
