Service robots

Service robots are the business-facing end of the market — wheeled machines that greet, guide, and carry in lobbies, hotels, hospitals and stores, sold to companies rather than to shoppers. As of September 2026 Valumech tracks 1 service robot in this category, 1 of which is shipping, and none carry a manufacturer-published price — this segment sells by quote, so each is listed without a price rather than with a guess.

The service robot we track

This is the smallest category on Valumech. It exists so the segment has an honest home rather than being folded into home robots, where a business lobby greeter would distort the consumer price picture. Each card links to the full sourced record.

Common questions

How much does a service robot cost?

None of the 1 service robot we track publishes a price. This segment sells business-to-business by quote, typically bundled with deployment and support, so Valumech lists each without a price rather than repeating a figure the maker has not set.

What is the difference between a service robot and a home robot?

The buyer. A service robot is sold to a business for a public space — reception, wayfinding, hospitality — and is priced and supported like equipment. A home robot is sold to a household for chores. Valumech keeps them in separate categories so a lobby greeter never ranks as the cheapest home robot.

Are service robots affected by the FCC Covered List?

Yes, if built outside the United States — the FCC's definition covers any ground-mobile robot over 4.4 lb with sensors and connectivity, which describes every service robot. Of the 1 we track, 1 looks exposed. The rule gates new models only; anything already sold in the US keeps its approval.
