The Real Cost of a Robot Hand: Three Measurements, One 92× Spread
A dexterous robot hand costs $380, or $35,000, or more than the robot it bolts onto — depending on how you measure it. We priced 8 brands on two US storefronts in one day and compared the shelf price, the configuration option and the teardown estimate.

Analysis
Who Vouches for a Robot's Rated Numbers?
Depth ratings, IP ratings, payload, coverage rate, operating weight — almost every number a robot is sold on is self-declared by the manufacturer. We checked how often those numbers survive contact with the manufacturer's own dealer.

Lely Juno Feed Push Robot Price 2026
Lely does not publish a new Juno price, but the used and refurbished market does: $15,000 for one 2018 unit down to $12,000 each at four or more, against $17,500 for a used Joz Moov 2.0. What a feed pusher actually costs in 2026.

Subscription vs Term Licence vs Bought Outright: Four Ways Robot Vendors Charge for Software
QYSEA, OnRobot, Vention and temi each charge for robot software differently. Priced against the hardware it runs on, the annual cost ranges from 6.6% to 92.3% — and one vendor does not publish a number at all.

What a Used Milking Robot Is Actually Worth: Nine Listings and a 10× Cliff
Current-generation milking boxes resell at 49-93% of new. The previous generation sells for 5-7%. The drop is not a depreciation curve — it lands the day the manufacturer stops making parts.

SolarCleano publishes no prices for any of its seven models. One US dealer publishes three: M1 $31,628.24, T1 $41,129.41, F1 $42,702.35 — and the transporter that cleans nothing costs more than the robot it carries.

The Same Spray Drone at Four US Dealers: Where the Price Actually Differs
We read four US agricultural-drone dealer catalogues on the same day. The DJI Agras T50 spans 9.1% between them, the EAVision J150 spans 24.6% — and choosing the configuration matters five times more than choosing the dealer.
Analysis
The Other List: How Coding Verification Decides Which Robots Reach Patients
Medicare publishes what a powered exoskeleton or bionic hand pays, to the cent. A separate, contractor-run list decides which devices may be billed against it — and that list is where market access actually happens.
Guide
Bionic Hand and Myoelectric Arm Price Guide 2026
Manufacturers of bionic hands will not quote a price. Medicare publishes one. The January 2026 fee schedule sets a multi-articulating electric hand at $28,715.00–$31,586.51 and a complete powered arm at $44,460 to $104,704.
Data
A Bionic Arm, Line by Line: 151 Medicare Codes for Upper-Limb Robotics

EAVision Spray Drone Price Guide 2026
US dealer checkout prices for the EAVision J70, J100 and J150 agricultural spray drones on 5 August 2026 — J100 airframe $21,999, flight-ready packages $32,995-$33,995, J150 $40,495 — and why the widely quoted $8,000-$15,000 figure is an FOB number, not a landed one.
Guide
Medical Exoskeleton Price Guide 2026
The 2026 Medicare fee schedule sets a personal exoskeleton at $95,081.03 and powered arm orthoses at $34,970.13 and $68,801.71 — the only robots in the US with a published, government-set price. Full figures, patient copay maths, and how they compare with what manufacturers actually realise per unit.
Data
The Real Cost of Rebuilding a Spray Drone From Spare Parts
We priced every major assembly of an EAVision J100 from its US dealer's own service catalogue. Rebuilding the aircraft costs $25,813 against a $21,999 new airframe — 17.3% more — and the battery and charger alone are 27.3% of the machine.
Analysis
What Happens When a Government Sets a Robot's Price
Medical exoskeletons are the only robots in America with a published, government-set price. Since April 2024 that price has moved by exactly 4.4479% — an inflation index, nothing else — while the products changed. Our view on what an administered price does to a robotics market.
Comparison
OnRobot vs Robotiq vs SCHUNK vs Soft Robotics: End-of-Arm Tooling Compared on One Dealer's Shelf
Four end-of-arm tooling brands priced in the same US distributor catalogue on the same day. The differences are not mainly about grip force — they are about what else you have to buy, and which vendor will sell you the labour.

Vention Robot Cell Price Guide 2026
Vention publishes a live price for complete robot work cells — and the bill of materials behind it. We pulled 478 of them: machine tending from $872 to $116,828, turnkey palletizers to $291,918, and the arm is 73-86% of a modular cell.
Analysis
What a Published Robot Price Is Actually Worth
Some robot vendors do publish prices. We tested what those numbers mean by pricing 21 identical SKUs at three dealers on one day — and found list prices that are spreadsheet output, discounts that are stale catalogues, and $0.00 items with a working Add to Cart button.
