Overview, buying status, and research notes

What it isValkyrie is a humanoid from NASA. NASA R5 Valkyrie humanoid robot Our review focuses on what is published today: size, payload, runtime, mobility, software access, safety claims, and whether buyers can actually purchase or deploy it.
Availability and pricingValkyrie is currently listed as research platform. Pricing is Not sold commercially. That buying status matters because a preorder, pilot, enterprise quote, prototype, or discontinued model means very different things for buyers.
Best fitBased on its published specs and positioning, Valkyrie is most relevant for space robotics, research. It should be evaluated as a practical robot for the intended job, not only as a brand name or demo video.
What to watchPublic specifications can change as the manufacturer releases new details. Verify release timing, purchase availability, safety claims, autonomy level, SDK or ROS access, payload, runtime, battery details, sensors, hand design, actuator details, walking speed, and stable manufacturer measurements.
Comparable robotsA useful comparison set for Valkyrie includes Tesla Optimus, Figure 02, Unitree G1, Apollo, Digit, NEO, Phoenix, Walker S, GR-2, Unitree H2. Compare price, availability, height, weight, payload, runtime, DOF, walking speed, hands, software access, service model, and deployment evidence.
Specs that matterValkyrie has 28 documented specification fields available for review. Specification highlights include Price: Not sold commercially; Availability: research platform; Height: 1.87 m (6 ft 2 in reported); Weight: 129 kg; 300 lb also reported; Runtime: Approximately 1 hour autonomous operation; DOF: 44; Battery: 1.8 kWh reported; Actuators: 44 actuators minimum (estimated from total DOF). The important question is whether the published capabilities match the actual work: lifting, walking, sensing, manipulating objects, operating safely, and being supported after deployment.
