Feather Robotics is offering a two-armed, wheeled humanoid robot from $29,990, targeting developers and manufacturers building physical AI applications. The California startup lists the system as shipping now, with the advertised price available while supplies last.
The company’s configurator shows what that starting price covers: two seven-degree-of-freedom arms, Jetson Nano compute and a ZED 2i stereo camera. End effectors cost extra. A pair of standard grippers adds $1,200, while dexterous hands add $7,000; higher-performance computing and cameras are also optional.
According to Feather’s specifications, each arm reaches one meter and carries a rated 1.8 kilograms, with a peak payload of 6.8 kilograms. The torso moves vertically through 600 millimeters. Its omnidirectional base travels at up to 1.3 meters per second, and the fully configured robot weighs 105 kilograms.
Feather says its dual hot-swappable batteries provide 10 hours of operation. The platform includes an open Python SDK, ROS2 support and teleoperation, allowing customers to develop their own applications. The company says its robots have been working in manufacturing, food service and other settings for the past year, without publishing detailed customer performance figures on the product page.
The offer brings hardware pricing into focus as developers move beyond demonstrations. RobotsBeat previously covered robot costs as a barrier to automation and the role of research buyers in humanoid sales. For Feather customers, the purchase price is only part of the calculation: application development, integration and sustained task performance will determine whether the system makes commercial sense.
