Frequently asked questions
How do CyberOne and Reachy 2 compare on price?
CyberOne: Not for sale (demo only). Reachy 2: ~$70,000–$100,000.
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.
