IFA 2026's robot catwalk: what the models walking Berlin's runway actually cost
IFA Berlin opens today, September 4, and for the first time in the show’s history a humanoid-robot lineup is walking a literal catwalk. “Robots on the Runway” runs September 5 at 12:45 p.m. on the Creator Stage, with machines transforming between forms, backflipping and dancing in front of an audience before a meet-and-greet. Confirmed participants include Unitree, AgiBot, EngineAI, Deep Robotics, Primebot, Cozio, Dobot and several smaller exhibitors, part of an IFA Next showcase the organizers say will run roughly 300 robotics exhibitors through September 8.
A catwalk doesn’t tell you what any of this costs, which is the more useful question. Of the headline names on stage, the spread is wide. Unitree’s lineup covers both ends: the G1 starts at $13,500 for the base 23-DoF configuration, while the taller H2 lists from $29,900, climbing toward $100,000 for the H2 Plus variant — all shipping today, not concept units. AgiBot’s X2 is priced plainly at $24,240 on the company’s own global store, battery and controller included. EngineAI’s T800 is real hardware too, but only sold domestically in China, from roughly $25,000 up to $80,800 for the international Max edition — a reminder that a robot appearing on a Berlin stage isn’t necessarily one a European buyer can order. Deep Robotics, the outlier on legs rather than two, sells its X30 industrial quadruped from about $65,000 for inspection work, nowhere near consumer pricing.
The show’s smaller names — Primebot, Cozio, Ollobot, AIMOGA — don’t have public price sheets we could verify, which is normal for exhibition-stage robots that haven’t reached a store listing yet. The full catalog tracks pricing as it appears; a demo on a runway becomes a line in the index only once a manufacturer puts a number on it.
