What the list price leaves out
The robot's price is only part of the cost. Putting it to work in a company also takes:
- Deployment and integration: connecting the robot to the line, the warehouse or business systems, and adapting the workstation.
- Programming and training: teaching the robot the specific task and proving it reliable before it goes into production.
- Safety: the risk assessment of the workstation and the measures that let the robot work next to people.
- Maintenance and spares: scheduled service, breakdowns, batteries and wear parts.
- Software and updates: control software moves fast and has to be kept current.
- Obsolescence: new models come out every year, and a buyer keeps the machine even when a better one arrives.
Buy, or use a managed service
Bender doesn't sell robots: it selects, deploys and operates them as workers, for a monthly fee covering the robot, deployment, training, monitoring, maintenance and replacement. The fee starts at €4,000 per month for the simplest configurations; a typical configuration is about €5,500 per month (€66,000 a year) for up to 6,000 productive hours a year: about €11 an hour, against roughly €30 for an hour of work in Italy. These are indicative figures we verify case by case in the free assessment.

How much does a humanoid robot cost?
Among industrial models with a public list price, from about $5,900 to about $106,000, with a median of about $28,700. The final price depends on configuration, shipping and duties, and comes on top of deployment and maintenance.
How much does a Chinese humanoid robot cost?
Chinese makers publish prices most often: 11 of the 12 list prices in our catalog, from about $5,900 (Unitree R1) to about $90,000 (Unitree H1).
How much does Tesla's humanoid robot cost?
Optimus isn't for sale: it is still a prototype. The About $30,000 figure in the catalog is an announced price target, not a list price, so it is left out of this page's figures.
Can you rent a humanoid robot?
Yes. With Bender you don't buy the robot: you pay a monthly fee from €4,000 covering the robot, deployment, training, monitoring, maintenance and replacement. We work with companies in Italy, from our office in Milan, starting with a free assessment of the task.
What work would you give to a robot?
Tell us the task, the environment, the hours you need covered and the result you expect. We'll assess the use case and identify the right robotic worker.
