N2
A 1.18 m, 30 kg acrobatic humanoid that can do back-to-back backflips. It placed second in the April 2025 Beijing humanoid half-marathon. Noetix reported more than 2,500 orders by mid-2025, mostly for performances and retail displays. It has no hands for real work, and the company's overseas delivery timeline is unverified.
- Price
- $5,500Promise Reported mass-production price of 39,900 yuan (about $5,500, converted), March 2025. One TMTPost report gives 59,900 yuan for N2 and 39,900 for the E1, so the figure is disputed. No published USD retail price.
