SUMMARY

 

Domo is a compact, semi‑autonomous humanoid robot developed by Rotaku, a Silicon Valley robotics startup.Starting at $2,999 USD, Domo is designed to make humanoid robotics accessible to:

 

developers

 

educators

 

researchers

 

small robotics teams

 

Domo supports whole‑body policy learning, VR teleoperation, manipulation, locomotion research, and simulation‑to‑real AI training.It ships in multiple configurations, including a larger Domo Plus model.

 

EDITORIAL:

 

Domo is one of the first truly affordable humanoid robots built for real development work.Rotaku’s philosophy:

 

AI needs a body

 

humanoid hardware should be accessible

 

small teams should be able to build embodied AI

 

Domo is not a toy — it is a serious research platform with:

 

whole‑body teleoperation

 

reinforcement learning support

 

VR motion‑capture pipelines

 

onboard compute

 

hot‑swappable batteries

 

It is the cheapest full humanoid platform available in 2026.
