Can you buy any of these robots right now?

Only Booster Robotics T1 is in open sale today, to developers, researchers and institutions rather than individual consumers. 1X Neo accepts consumer preorder deposits for 2026 delivery. Unitree H2-X and EngineAI T800 have no open consumer channel; manufacturer disclosures describe pilot or institutional-only distribution.

Are any of these four robots fully autonomous?

No. Manufacturer disclosures and public demonstrations place each at the same early rung of the Autonomy Ladder, with teleoperation or undisclosed fallback behavior rather than documented end-to-end autonomy.

What is the Unitree H2-X built for?

Unitree has staged it in security and rescue demonstrations on its existing H2 bipedal hardware, with no price or ship date announced.

Why does 1X Neo cost less than the others?

Its $20,000 list price, or $499 a month, reflects a soft-actuator design built for home assistance rather than the research or developer hardware the other three target.

Has any of these robots been independently tested?

No source on record documents independent testing of any of the four; the available evidence is manufacturer specifications, a company demonstration video, a factory delivery event, and competition appearances.

What they are built for

The job each maker names

Four makers name four different jobs: security and services for the H2-X, industry and retail for the T800, household chores for NEO, and development work for the T1. NEO is the only one aimed mainly at a home, and its maker says a remote expert can supervise it at scheduled times.
