The ZENO R25 robot is researched and developed for 5 years. Prior to that, the first version of this robot ZENO R50 was also made successfully and sold for about $ 16,000. According to RobotKind, the unit that designs and manufactures the ZENO R25, the robot will be sold for a cheaper price, about $ 2,700.
