The ROBOTIS OP3 price is currently listed by ROBOTIS in the United States at approximately US$13,764.35 before shipping, taxes and regional costs. The current store figure may change and buyers should confirm whether the package includes the complete robot, computer, battery, charger, skin, documentation and regional support. A public number, when one exists, is not always the final delivered and usable cost. Buyers may also need to account for shipping, taxes, customs, software, batteries, controllers, installation, training, warranty, spare parts, local support and application integration.
Before comparing offers, confirm the exact model or condition, commercial status, included hardware, software rights, delivery terms and after-sales process. The better buying question is: what is included, what is excluded, and who supports the robot after delivery?
You can request ROBOTIS OP3 pricing, availability or an alternative comparison through Anton Robots before committing.
You can buy or request the ROBOTIS OP3 through Anton Robots. Anton Robots helps buyers verify the real commercial route, compare legitimate packages, understand what is included and decide whether the ROBOTIS OP3 is appropriate for the intended use case. OP3 remains an active commercial research humanoid sold through ROBOTIS and selected regional channels.
Before buying, commissioning or importing a unit, confirm the exact version, regional availability, included hardware, software access, shipping, taxes, warranty, spare parts and technical support. A product page, research announcement or marketplace listing does not always mean that a robot is available for immediate commercial purchase. Professional buyers should compare the complete operational package and support route rather than only the lowest displayed price.
To start, request ROBOTIS OP3 buying or sourcing guidance through Anton Robots.
You can find the ROBOTIS OP3 for sale through the official ROBOTIS store, regional distributors, education suppliers and marketplaces such as Anton Robots. Finding a ROBOTIS OP3 for sale is only the first step. Buyers should verify whether the offer is current, new, used, refurbished, demonstration-only, research-restricted, subject to qualification or unsupported outside its original programme. Used units should be checked for actuator wear, missing skin panels, battery condition, Intel NUC configuration, OpenCR board, camera and software image.
A useful comparison should cover the exact generation, included equipment, software licences, delivery country, expected lead time, warranty, replacement parts and who provides support after delivery. Avoid treating a third-party listing as proof of manufacturer support or legal access to proprietary software.

Yes. You can request a ROBOTIS OP3 quote through Anton Robots. A useful quote or commercial review should identify the exact version, ownership or programme structure, included equipment, software, accessories, shipping assumptions, taxes or import notes, warranty, delivery estimate, training and available support. The proposal should identify the current hardware revision, computer, battery, charger, software image, spare actuators, curriculum, delivery and support.
Buyers should provide the destination country, intended application, operating environment, required delivery date and any integration needs. That information helps determine whether the robot is commercially obtainable and whether the proposed package is technically suitable. The proposal should also state who commissions the system and what happens if the robot cannot meet the intended workflow.
Anton Robots can help compare the ROBOTIS OP3 against other relevant robots. Professional buyers should request written confirmation of these points before approving a budget, import, research programme, or deployment.
A typical ROBOTIS OP3 package or deployment normally includes the assembled humanoid, smart actuators, Intel NUC computer, OpenCR board, camera, inertial sensor, battery system, software and documentation. The exact contents vary by seller, programme, configuration, product condition and country, so buyers should request a written packing and service list:
Competition fields, external development computer, spare batteries and replacement actuators may be separate. Hardware, software and support are often separated in robotics purchases. A low advertised price may exclude the charger, controller, compute, software, spare battery, installation, training or warranty handling required for practical use. For business, education and research buyers, the complete operational package is more important than the headline price.

The ROBOTIS OP3 is approximately 510 mm tall, weighs about 3.5 kg without its skin and has 20 degrees of freedom. Its compact humanoid body uses ROBOTIS XM430 actuators and is designed for walking, kicking, balancing, head movement and arm gestures. The practical result depends on the exact configuration, software, environment, accessories and operator workflow rather than the headline specification alone. The small scale limits payload and stride, while falls and repeated competition impacts can wear frames and actuators.
Before buying or deploying the robot, verify the exact revision, outer skin, actuator condition, battery, feet, joints, fasteners and spare-parts plan. A proper evaluation should use the real tasks, objects, routes, users or research conditions instead of relying only on a stage demonstration. It is a research and competition humanoid rather than a service worker.

The OP3 is programmed through ROBOTIS software, C++, ROS tools and supplied source code. Developers can modify walking, motion, vision, localisation, behaviour and competition modules on the onboard Intel NUC and OpenCR controller. The practical result depends on the exact configuration, software, environment, accessories and operator workflow rather than the headline specification alone. The platform expects Linux and robotics knowledge, and software branches must match the operating system, firmware and hardware revision.
Before buying or deploying the robot, verify the current e-Manual, repository branch, compiler, ROS environment, firmware, backups and development computer. A proper evaluation should use the real tasks, objects, routes, users or research conditions instead of relying only on a stage demonstration. Its openness is a major advantage for advanced courses and research teams.

The OP3 uses a rechargeable robot battery and can also be operated from supported external DC power during development. Battery operation enables walking and competition, while bench power can support software work without repeatedly cycling batteries. The practical result depends on the exact configuration, software, environment, accessories and operator workflow rather than the headline specification alone. Runtime varies with walking, vision, processor load, actuator torque and battery age, and external power cables restrict movement.
Before buying or deploying the robot, verify battery type, charger, included quantity, runtime test, replacement stock, storage, transport and low-voltage behaviour. A proper evaluation should use the real tasks, objects, routes, users or research conditions instead of relying only on a stage demonstration. Competition and teaching packages should include a realistic battery-rotation plan.

The OP3 combines an Intel NUC computer, OpenCR controller, Logitech camera and inertial sensing. The computer handles Linux, vision and high-level behaviour while OpenCR manages real-time robot control and actuator communication. The practical result depends on the exact configuration, software, environment, accessories and operator workflow rather than the headline specification alone. Exact NUC and camera models can change with revision or supply, and consumer cameras do not guarantee robust vision under every lighting condition.
Before buying or deploying the robot, verify the current bill of materials, processor, RAM, storage, camera, IMU, drivers, ports and replacement compatibility. A proper evaluation should use the real tasks, objects, routes, users or research conditions instead of relying only on a stage demonstration. Confirm the current shipped configuration rather than relying on an older research paper.

Choose ROBOTIS OP3 for open locomotion, ROS and RoboCup development; choose NAO V6 for polished social interaction, Choregraphe and established education content. Both are compact humanoids, but OP3 is more mechanically and software open while NAO provides a stronger packaged human-robot interaction experience. The practical result depends on the exact configuration, software, environment, accessories and operator workflow rather than the headline specification alone. OP3 demands more engineering, while NAO offers less low-level openness and shorter active runtime.
Before buying or deploying the robot, verify curriculum, programming skills, walking research, social interaction, maintenance, spare parts, software and budget. A proper evaluation should use the real tasks, objects, routes, users or research conditions instead of relying only on a stage demonstration. The better platform follows the learning or research objective.

Yes, the ROBOTIS OP3 can generally be shipped internationally through supported ROBOTIS channels. Delivery or deployment depends on the destination country, commercial status, export controls, freight method, battery rules, customs, regional certifications and local service coverage. Confirm destination availability, battery freight, power adapter, customs, software image, warranty territory and repair route.
Before ordering, ask who acts as importer of record, whether software and warranty remain valid in the destination country and whether installation requires an approved local partner. Buyers should also confirm package dimensions, battery documentation, insurance, damage procedures, data-hosting requirements and any end-use restrictions. A robot that can physically be transported is not necessarily supported, activatable or legally deployable in every market.
You can request international availability for the ROBOTIS OP3 through Anton Robots so the complete route can be checked.
ROBOTIS OP3 availability and delivery time can change according to production, regional inventory, programme eligibility, configuration and current demand. The U.S. store currently shows an active product and purchase route, but regional inventory and delivery time can differ. A robot appearing in a video, research paper or online listing should not automatically be treated as stocked and ready to ship.
Before committing to a project date, ask whether the order is confirmed or only an expression of interest, what equipment and software are available and when the complete package can be delivered and commissioned. Lead time can also be affected by export review, freight, customs, battery transport, software activation, site preparation and training.
You can request current ROBOTIS OP3 availability through Anton Robots. Professional buyers should request written confirmation of these points before approving a budget, import, research programme, or deployment.
Before buying or deploying the ROBOTIS OP3, check the warranty or support term, covered components, exclusions, service territory, repair process, software entitlement, spare-parts availability and who provides technical help. Confirm the current manufacturer warranty, local maintenance term, actuator exclusions, battery coverage and process for repairing the NUC, OpenCR board or mechanical frame. Ask these questions:
For a prototype, research platform or legacy robot, lifecycle support should be a primary buying criterion. Contact Anton Robots to review the package before purchase or deployment.
The ROBOTIS OP3 is worth considering if you need an open compact humanoid for ROS, RoboCup, vision, locomotion, autonomous behaviour or university research. Its strongest value comes from its 20-degree-of-freedom body, Intel NUC, OpenCR controller, smart actuators, open source code and established competition ecosystem.
However, it is only a good choice when the use case matches the robot’s maturity, commercial status, regional availability and operating limits. It is expensive for a small robot and requires meaningful robotics, Linux and maintenance skills rather than offering a consumer plug-and-play experience. Buyers should compare complete ownership cost, software access, support, expected lifetime and alternatives that may perform the same task with less risk. For a business or research project, define a measurable outcome before committing rather than purchasing only for novelty or visual impact.
