How to read these numbers

The pattern across every category: diagnostics trend toward free, labor runs $50–125/hour, and batteries are the recurring cost of ownership. The outlier is humanoids, where a single actuator replacement can run 15–30% of the robot's purchase price — there is no mature repair market yet, and the published prices above are from a single-digit number of providers worldwide.

Missing from this page is everything the industry keeps quote-only: manufacturer service plans without list prices, commercial spare parts, humanoid batteries. As providers publish, we add — and the changelog is the dated updates you see above.
