Chinese startup Noetix Robotics has launched the humanoid robot Bumi priced under US$1,400, aiming to bring bipedal robots into homes and classrooms. The 94-cm tall, 12-kg machine walks, balances and dances while offering an open programming interface for education and hobbyist use. This aggressive pricing could accelerate the shift of humanoids from labs into everyday settings, lowering the entry barrier for schools and makers. #robotics #EducationTech #humanoidrobot #ChinaInnovation #consumerrobot #fblifestyle
