The N2 is a small bipedal humanoid from Beijing start-up Noetix, which finished second in Beijing's humanoid half-marathon in 2025 and won medals at the World Humanoid Robot Games. It is sold in China from RMB 39,900 and through a US reseller at USD 18,000, and is aimed at education, entertainment and retail demo use. Noetix also sells the far cheaper Bumi (RMB 9,998).
Our verdict
A real, orderable small humanoid with a competitive record; a show and education robot rather than a work robot, and the US price is a reseller markup.
