Apptronik Valkyrie — Specs, Price & Where to Buy (2026)

No price has ever been disclosed because Valkyrie is a NASA research robot and was never sold commercially. Apptronik does not offer a Valkyrie-branded product.

It can walk at up to 5.4 km/h, manipulate tools with its 44-DOF body and 8-DOF hands, and perform tasks in unstructured environments like opening doors, clearing debris, and turning valves. It was designed for disaster response and space research.

No, Valkyrie is not available for purchase. It is a research platform developed by NASA and only accessible to select academic and government partners. Apptronik has no commercial version for sale.

Atlas focuses on dynamic whole-body locomotion (running, jumping, backflips) and is even less accessible than Valkyrie. Valkyrie is optimized for dexterous manipulation in human environments with series elastic actuators, making it safer around people. Both are research-only, not for sale.

Height: 190 cm, weight: 125 kg, 44 degrees of freedom including 8-DOF hands, 1-hour battery life, max speed 5.4 km/h, actuators: series elastic. No arm payload capacity is published.

Valkyrie was originally built by NASA’s Johnson Space Center. Apptronik, founded by University of Texas researchers who worked on the project, later provided upgrades, but the robot is still a NASA asset.

The lithium-ion battery provides approximately 1 hour of operation. Batteries are not swappable in the field without maintenance support, limiting continuous use.

Primarily space exploration (NASA), disaster response R&D, and academic humanoid robotics research. It has no commercial deployments in logistics or manufacturing.
