How classification and status work

Category describes physical structure and function; wheels alone do not determine whether a robot is humanoid. Product stage describes demonstrated maturity. Commercial availability describes current access: a commercial product may still be limited to pilot customers. Neither stage nor availability alone proves that a product can be purchased. Unknown facts remain unknown.

Toyota CUE7 is a prototype humanoid research and demonstration robot from Toyota’s CUE basketball program. Debuting on April 12, 2026, it extends the series beyond stationary shooting with court movement, human-like dribbling, and learned motion control. Public profiles list a height of about 2.18 m and a weight of 74 kg. Its control approach combines reinforcement learning with model-predictive control, while visual sensing, target detection, distance estimation, and trajectory computation support precise basketball demonstrations. The platform remains a research prototype, is not publicly sold, and has no disclosed price.
