Feather

Feather Robotics publishes a price, which still sets it apart among humanoid makers: 29,990 dollars at the promotional rate, 32,990 dollars regular, with fleet pricing on request, as listed on feather.dev in October 2026.

The robot itself is a wheeled humanoid whose height adjusts between 1.2 and 1.8 m thanks to a lifting torso with 600 mm of travel at 150 mm/s. It weighs 105 kg and has 23 degrees of freedom: seven per arm, two in the neck, one in the torso and six in a holonomic base that turns 360 degrees on the spot.

The arms end in field-swappable 6-DoF hands or parallel grippers; capacity is 6.8 kg peak at full extension and 1.8 kg sustained per arm. The base moves at 1.3 m/s (4.7 km/h). Two hot-swappable 48 V, 50 Ah packs, about 4,800 Wh in total, give roughly ten hours at a 240 W load. Computing is an NVIDIA Jetson Nano, Orin AGX or Thor, exchangeable by the customer.

Sensors include a stereo RGB-D head camera (ZED 2i, ZED X or ZED X Mini), optional wrist cameras, a four-microphone array and collision detection. The software is model-agnostic, with a Python 3.9+ SDK under Apache 2.0, ROS 2, teleoperation and simulation; the open licence covers the SDK, not the hardware.

Feather is shipping now and aimed at warehouses, factories for picking and light assembly, restaurant kitchens and labs. A heavier, pricier alternative with a similar layout is the Vega 1 Pro.
