An independent guide to humanoid robots
Robots that walk.
Explained honestly.
What they can do today, what they still cannot, and what they cost. No ads and no hype, for families, schools and companies.
We do not sell robots from stock. We help you decide whether you need one.

Principles
Why you can trust us
We are small and we do not want to be persuasive. We want to be verifiable. We follow five rules.
- 01
We cite sources
Prices and data come from manufacturers and public pages. When we are unsure, we say so.
- 02
We say “we don’t know”
Many questions about humanoids have no honest answer yet. We will not invent one.
- 03
We don’t sell from stock
We have no interest in making you buy. Sometimes the right answer is “not yet”.
- 04
Clear partner links
If we earn a commission from a recommendation, we will mark it clearly.
- 05
We correct mistakes publicly
If you find an error, write to us. We will fix it and log the change.
Reality vs hype
What humanoids do today
Videos show the best moments. Here is our conservative estimate of how reliably robots handle different tasks without constant supervision.
- Walking on flat groundWorks well
- Demos and dancingWorks well
- Conversation and Q&ADepends on software
- Moving items in a warehousePilot projects only
- Factory line workEarly trials
- Household chores (cooking, cleaning)Not ready
This is our assessment at this moment, not a measurement. The technology moves fast and we will update the table.

About
A family project for learning
Bots.bg is a family project to study humanoid robots. We believe these technologies will become part of everyday life, and we want to understand them before they spread.
We are still at the beginning and we do not present ourselves as experts. We learn and share what we find. If we are wrong, tell us.
