Feather Robotics puts modular humanoids at $30K

Feather Robotics’ product page lists its modular humanoid at $29,990, while TechCrunch reports that Gradient Ventures led its $7.6 million pre-seed and the company has surpassed $1 million in revenue. Feather says an open SDK and swappable hardware let developers deploy models from multiple robotics providers, with early robots working in restaurants and science labs. For operators, file $30K as hardware entry price—not labor replacement—and run one task-bounded pilot with downtime, teleoperation, integration, and support measured against Unitree’s shipment-and-valuation evidence.
