Specifications
Not for sale. A next-generation model (codename 'Tieda') was shown at World Robot Conference on Aug 19-20, 2026 and at IFA Berlin in Sept 2026: ~170 cm, 66 kg, 66 DOF (about half in the hands); running pilot shifts in Xiaomi's EV plant (98% success on self-tapping nut installation). Xiaomi states humanoids are far from large-scale commercialization; no price or mass-production date.Price$70,000

Frequently asked questions
How do CyberOne and Reachy 2 compare on price?
CyberOne: Not for sale. A next-generation model (codename 'Tieda') was shown at World Robot Conference on Aug 19-20, 2026 and at IFA Berlin in Sept 2026: ~170 cm, 66 kg, 66 DOF (about half in the hands); running pilot shifts in Xiaomi's EV plant (98% success on self-tapping nut installation). Xiaomi states humanoids are far from large-scale commercialization; no price or mass-production date.. Reachy 2: $70,000. Only one of the two has a public unit price; the other publishes a range or enterprise-only terms.
Which has higher payload: CyberOne or Reachy 2?
Reachy 2 rates a higher payload at 3 kg vs 1.5 kg. Payload ratings are vendor claims and do not always include a duty cycle — peak vs sustained payload can differ significantly.
Is CyberOne or Reachy 2 actually available to buy?
CyberOne is in active development without commercial availability. Reachy 2 is shipping to customers. Status reflects the vendor's published commercial position as of the last review and can change between announcement and actual delivery.
Which is better for ROS-based development: CyberOne or Reachy 2?
CyberOne has no ROS support; Reachy 2 has ros2. For research and multi-vendor robotics stacks, native ROS 2 is the strongest signal of ecosystem maturity.
Does CyberOne or Reachy 2 use LiDAR?
Reachy 2 ships with LiDAR for depth sensing; CyberOne does not. LiDAR adds cost and complexity but improves obstacle detection in low-light or low-contrast environments.
