One major consideration for consumers is the financial commitment required to own a humanoid robot. By drawing parallels with the automotive industry, we note that early motor vehicles were prohibitively expensive, taking around 21 months of salary for purchase. In contrast, early computers were more accessible, requiring just one month of salary. Predictions suggest entry-level humanoid robots may cost around four months' salary, leading us to believe affordability is on the rise.
