Price
Unitree’s own entry price is USD 13,500 — down from the USD 16,000 launch figure of 2024, cut in late 2025. EDU configurations with dexterous hands and the SDK start around USD 43,900. The baht range above is those two anchors converted at 1 USD ≈ 33.4 THB (5 Aug 2026); it is not a price quoted by a Thai seller.
Safety note
Several collisions were reported during 2026 demonstrations: an operator was kicked in the face in February, with two further incidents in front of audiences in March and June. All happened while the robot was walking or moving at full effort. If you run it in a space with people, keep a cordon and an emergency stop in the hand of whoever is supervising.
