Reality check
It is a proven open research canvas, but it is a blank one: expect a six-figure quote and to write every behavior yourself.
Can you get one, and what will it cost?
A planning estimate with machine, freight, duty, and tax shown separately.
Yes, with work: importable into United States.
US authorization: We found no public FCC ID for this model. Since 28 July 2026 a foreign-made robot can be sold into the US only under an FCC authorization from before that date, so ask the seller for its FCC ID, or its Supplier's Declaration of Conformity dated before 28 July 2026, before you pay.
The maker publishes no price for the REEM-C, so there is no base for a delivered estimate to United States. Seller prices, where listed, are under Where to buy, and the concierge can get a real quote.

Universities and labs, by quote via PAL sales.
Price notes: Quote-only; no public price (historically in the hundreds of thousands of euros). A full-size biped research platform, purchasable by institutions since 2013. PAL now files REEM-C under Legacy Robots (its 'Hall of Fame') while keeping a Request a quote button (checked 3 Oct 2026), so confirm it is still built to order before planning around it.
