An evidence-based analysis of humanoid robotics research at IIT Madras, IIT Bombay, and IISc Bangalore. This report grades claims by hardware shipment status, highlighting the current reliance on research prototypes and the significant gap before commercial availability in India.

An objective review of Honda’s ASIMO program, analyzing its technical contributions to bipedal locomotion and safety systems. While the robot was retired in 2022, its architectural decisions continue to influence current commercial humanoid efforts, though the platform never achieved commercial viability in India or globally.

A grounded assessment of Boston Dynamics' transition from research lab to commercial entity, analyzing Atlas, Spot, and their specific relevance to the Indian robotics market under Hyundai ownership. This report filters out viral marketing to focus on shipping hardware, pilot deployments, and verified pricing.

A grounded analysis of after-sales support, warranty terms, and spare parts availability for humanoid robots entering the Indian market. This guide evaluates the gap between manufacturing promises and logistical reality for early adopters.

A technical guide to the regulatory and fiscal framework governing the import of humanoid robotics hardware into India, including HS codes, GST rates, BIS compliance, and realistic landed cost estimates for commercial procurement.

A grounded assessment of humanoid robot manufacturers accepting pre-orders, distinguishing between pilot deployments and mass production, with specific focus on India availability and landed costs.

An objective analysis of humanoid robot pricing in India, detailing base hardware costs, import duties, GST, and operational expenses for enterprise buyers.

An evidence-based analysis of locomotion metrics across shipping humanoids, focusing on gait stability, top speed, and India deployment feasibility.

An analysis of Degrees of Freedom (DOF) in humanoid robots, comparing shipping hardware like Tesla Optimus, Figure 01, and Unitree H1. We examine leg, arm, and hand specifications with a focus on India market availability and landed cost estimates.
Humanoid launches, deployments, funding and India-focused coverage - in one place.






Humanoid robotics is one of the most exciting fields in tech - and also one of the noisiest. We cover what is shipping, what it costs, and how it actually behaves in the real world. Especially in India.
