Rotaku launches Domo humanoid robot platform starting at $2,999 for developers and makers

Rotaku launches Domo humanoid robot platform starting at $2,999 for developers and makers

3 Key Points

  1. Rotaku has opened reservations for Domo, a compact humanoid robot platform designed for developers, makers, educators and robotics teams. The Domo lineup starts at $2,999 for the Basic model, with Developer and Plus Developer configurations priced at $3,998 and $9,899 respectively.

  2. Domo Basic provides entry-level programming and education access to a compact humanoid platform. Domo Developer (90 cm / 35.4 inches tall, around 20 kg) adds SDK support, URDF files, simulation workflows and whole-body policy training tools. Domo Plus Developer (130 cm / 51.2 inches tall, around 35 kg) supports full-body control, locomotion research and embodied AI development.

  3. Rotaku positions Domo as a development platform for learning, research, prototyping and early application exploration—not as a general-purpose consumer household robot. The company says the platform addresses humanoid robotics complexity, which has kept such systems expensive and difficult for smaller teams to obtain.

  4. Rotaku's announcement post on X reached more than 1 million views within four days. Reservations are currently open through Rotaku's website, with orders handled on a first-come, first-served basis.
