Robros IGRIS-C
A 154 cm Korean research humanoid with tendon-driven five-finger hands that walks on RL-trained legs and learns real tasks the hard, honest way: you teleoperate it with a master arm and train the skills yourself.

7 included|5 not included
Dexterous hands included
Tendon-driven, five-finger hands are the end effector in Robros' standard specification (53 DoF including 11 DoF per hand), but its Dev Center says IGRIS-C supports several end effector types (dexterous hand, 1-DoF gripper or magnet) and that the type is preconfigured at shipping, so confirm which one your quote includes. Each hand has 11 DoF total (6 active DoF driven by cable/wire actuation plus 5 passive DoF), weighs about 300 g, and can handle up to 3 kg payload per hand. The cable routing couples joint motion while still allowing independent finger control, giving genuinely dexterous grasping rather than a simple gripper.

Reality check
You are buying a capable, award-winning research body, not a worker: it walks and teleoperates out of the box, but every useful task is something your team has to demonstrate and train, and outside Korea you are dealing directly with Robros with no local reseller or support.
Can you get one, and what will it cost?
A planning estimate with machine, freight, duty, and tax shown separately.
You cannot order the Robros IGRIS-C today: it is b2b only.
Robros positions IGRIS-C for universities, government-funded labs, and research institutes doing embodied-AI work. To date it has been supplied domestically in Korea for research, education, and exhibition. There is no public online checkout or consumer channel: you engage Robros directly (or via a partner program) and buy a full humanoid platform for a lab, not an off-the-shelf product for an individual.
Import requirements for United StatesConformity, battery shipping, paperwork, and source documents. Review before ordering.

Price notes: A price of roughly USD 100,000 is listed by third-party robot databases (humanoid.guide) for the IGRIS-C platform; Robros does not publish pricing on its own site, so treat this as an indicative figure that must be confirmed by direct quote. Sales are handled per-deal with research and institutional buyers, and the final figure will depend on configuration, region, and support terms. No official EUR price is published.

Prices remain in the seller’s listed currency. Tax, freight, options, and rental periods follow each seller’s terms. A seller’s region does not guarantee delivery to your address.

What it does on day onewith zero programming
Day one, with zero programming, IGRIS-C can stand and walk (its bipedal gait was trained with reinforcement learning and won first place in bipedal walking and static obstacle avoidance at the 24th IEEE-RAS Humanoids conference), and you can teleoperate the full body and hands using the bundled master arm. It perceives its surroundings through stereo RGB cameras plus an Intel RealSense depth sensor. What it will NOT do untaught is autonomously perform a job: manipulation tasks (loading boxes, handling objects) come from collecting teleoperated demonstrations and training imitation-learning policies.
Best for: University and government robotics labs that want a full-body, dexterous-handed bipedal platform for embodied-AI and imitation-learning research, and can staff the ML and robotics engineering to teach it.
Documented uses
Robotics R&DManipulation researchTeaching / education
Robros describes IGRIS-C as a platform for research, testing and education with C++ and Python APIs, and includes a master arm for teleoperation and imitation learning data collection.
Availability is listed as South Korea with global inquiries welcomed, the hoist is sold separately, and the end effector type (hand, gripper or magnet) is fixed at shipping.
