Why it matters
It puts a walking humanoid below the price of a laptop, which changes who the category is even for.
What it can do
A compact bipedal humanoid positioned for consumers and education.
The company
Noetix Robotics sells in China and has not published an international order route.
Specs
Noetix lists Bumi as its consumer “AI buddy” and reported handing the first units to buyers on the show floor at AWE in March 2026, the same month it raised a CNY 1 billion Series B for consumer humanoids. The maker publishes no height, weight or runtime on its site, so none is listed here. From noetixrobotics.com.
Roboosh verdict
The cheapest humanoid with a real price in 2026, and worth watching rather than ordering unless you are in China.
Reality check
Treat this as a watch item outside China until an international order page exists.
