AGIBOT 智元机器人
A humanoid maker whose hand pricing is set by the economics of the robot it attaches to, and which sells a $999 gripper next to a five-finger hand for that reason.
AGIBOT is the clearest case in this index of a hand priced by its parent platform. The OmniHand 2025 launched in August 2025 at a recommended 14,800 RMB, which is cheap in absolute terms and expensive relative to a humanoid that has to sell at volume. The Pro variant at $19,999 is reported to equal 66.7% of an AGIBOT X2 robot.
That ratio is the constraint the whole Chinese hand market is working against. A pair of Unitree Dex5-1P hands at $47,000 is reported at 217.6% of a G1 Basic. When end effectors cost more than the body, the body cannot hit its price target, and the hand has to get cheaper or simpler. AGIBOT's own answer is visible in its catalog: a $999 OmniPicker gripper sold alongside the five-finger hand.
What is well documented
The domestic listing is the strongest data point in the Chinese price record: a self-operated storefront showing 14,800 RMB, a recorded historical low of 14,060 RMB and a 30-day low of 14,400 RMB. That is a price that holds and moves in small increments, not a collapse.
The listing also describes what ships: the hand plus CANFD, RS485 and USB cables. Export listings describe roughly 500 g, 10 active degrees of freedom and the same cabling. Tactile sensing is not part of the 2025 standard variant.
What is not
Fingertip force, transmission and durability are not published for this variant. The X2 robot price behind the 66.7% ratio is derived rather than published, so the ratio is an estimate. And the $4,999 dealer price has not been confirmed as the same configuration as the 14,800 RMB domestic listing.

Questions
How much is the OmniHand?
14,800 RMB domestic for the non-tactile right hand. Export channels start at $5,999.
Why does AGIBOT sell a $999 gripper?
Because for many tasks a two-finger gripper is the correct choice, and because a hand priced near the robot it attaches to limits the robot's market.
