The robot price index
The VMX baseline: where humanoid, robot-dog, and home-robot prices stand as of July 2026, computed only from verified official-channel prices — 27 priced models across 97 tracked. Month-over-month trend lines start accruing from this baseline; we chart real history, never synthetic curves.

Modeled first-year depreciation across priced, buyable models averages ≈39%/yr — a tier-based placeholder model (methodology), not observed resale data. It converts to a market-backed figure as the tracker logs real prices.
Until the trend lines land, the value layer lives on each model page — current price, depreciation curve, and residual estimate. Start from the lowest-depreciation ranking, the best value under $10k, or the lease & residual calculator.
