Noetix Robotics (Beijing Songyan Power Technology Group)

In October 2025, Beijing's Noetix Robotics did in robotics what others do in consumer electronics: it pushed the price down to a level that changes the conversation. Bumi, a child-sized humanoid, costs about $1,400 and, according to SCMP, was then the cheapest humanoid reported anywhere in the world. Formally the company is called Beijing Songyan Power Technology Group, and its strategy is clear: instead of fighting for factories, it goes after the home and the school. The second pillar of its reputation is the larger N2, which took second place in the world's first humanoid half marathon in Beijing, an unusual but concrete test of endurance and locomotion. The company does not state a founding year, headcount or funding amount, so we cannot build a corporate biography from this. We do know that in our directory it also appears under the name Songyan, which we cover in a separate profile at Songyan Power Technology. Price context for the whole market is in “How Much Does a Humanoid Robot Cost in 2026”. Price also changes who can experiment with a robot at all: not only factories but also high schools, hobby clubs and individual enthusiasts who until now could only read about humanoids.

The lineup is two models, both on sale. Noetix Bumi is 94 cm tall, weighs 12 kg and costs about $1,402 (PLN 5,434 (≈ EUR 1,240)). The manufacturer targets it at home use and education, so it is more a teaching tool than a work tool; picture kids in a robotics class programming their own humanoid instead of watching one behind glass. The larger Noetix N2 has 18 degrees of freedom (DOF), runs for about 2 hours and costs about $7,250 (PLN 28,102 (≈ EUR 6,430)). Sources point to the home, the classroom and senior care for it, and its result in the Beijing half marathon confirms capable legs. What 18 degrees of freedom means in practice is explained in “Degrees of Freedom (DOF) in Humanoid Robots”. Educational uses are covered in “Educational Robots for Schools and Universities”, and we have collected school scenarios under “Schools”. Prices in zlotys are conversions from dollars, not a Polish offer. An important caveat: "cheapest" does not mean "best." A $1,402 robot is not a substitute for an industrial machine and should not be judged as one. Ancillary costs must be added: customs duty, VAT, shipping and any servicing can push the final amount in Poland well above the currency conversion.

Noetix's position rests on price. Bumi at around $1,400 is a hard argument to beat in the education segment, where the Unitree G1 from Unitree Robotics costs many times more. We do not know the company's funding or valuation, and no customers have been named publicly. The closest comparable player in our directory is India's Muks Robotics with the Muks Robotics SPACEO M1, also aimed at cheap social humanoids but with no price given; on price transparency Noetix does better. Build quality and durability of such robots in a school setting is a separate question, and there are no independent tests yet. For the market as a whole, Bumi is a signal that price pressure will reach humanoids too, as it has reached many other electronics categories before. Competitors will have to respond with cheaper versions of their own or defend their value: quality, support, safety. Whoever sells at the highest price has to explain why.

Noetix has no confirmed presence in Poland: both models are marked as unavailable in the country, and we do not know of a distributor. For a school or university this means importing on your own, with questions about warranty, service and rules on cameras and data. Before anyone orders a Bumi for a classroom, it is worth reading about “Data Security: Robots with Cameras and the GDPR”. For now this is a technological curiosity, not a commercial offering for the Polish market. Also check whether the device carries CE marking and Polish documentation. If you decide to import anyway, budget for service and spare parts and ask the seller about return terms.

Noetix shows that a humanoid can cost less than a good laptop, an important price signal for the whole market. For a Polish buyer, though, it remains a foreign curiosity with no service or local support; check that before a click on "order" turns into a problem. Follow the company as a price benchmark, not as a source of equipment for a school, unless a local partner appears with service and Polish instructions. Then Bumi could enter a robotics lab as the first cheap humanoid.
