Quick answers.
It senses its surroundings, learns from data and decides what to do, rather than following a fixed script. Many use vision, language and reinforcement-learning models for perception and control.
A humanoid has a human-like body, usually two legs, two arms and a head, so it can work in spaces and with tools made for people.
It varies. Some, such as Spot, Stretch and Unitree models, are sold or leased. Others are in pilots or limited deployments, so check each company's site for availability.
Robotics Products lists companies and what they sell. This page lists specific advanced robots and the AI that drives them.
Check the task, payload and reach, safety certification, battery life and charging, software and AI tooling, service and support, and the maturity of deployments.
