$799.99 – $2,449.99Hiwonder store, October 2026. Kit prices without a controller are Starter (monocular camera) $799.99, Standard (Aurora930 Pro depth camera) $899.99, Advanced (depth camera and WonderEcho Pro voice box) $959.99 and Ultimate (depth camera and 6-microphone array) $999.99. A controller adds the same amount to any kit, +$290 for a Raspberry Pi 5 (8 GB), +$360 for a Jetson Nano (4 GB), +$600 for a Jetson Orin Nano Super (8 GB), +$900 for a Jetson Orin NX Super (8 GB) or +$1,450 for a Jetson Orin NX Super (16 GB). Amazon US lists the Advanced kit at $1,059.99 without a controller, $1,469.99 with a Jetson Nano and $1,759.99 with a Jetson Orin Nano Super, about $100–200 more than Hiwonder's store.

Overview
A ROS 2 hexapod with a 6-DOF arm on its back, sold alongside the armless JetHexa2027 and the smaller SpiderPi. Lidar SLAM and Nav2 handle mapping and route planning, and the arm uses the depth camera and inverse kinematics to find, grab and carry objects, which the large model lessons tie together into voice-commanded fetch tasks. Every kit includes the arm and a wireless gamepad, and the kits differ in camera and voice hardware. The Starter kit has only a monocular camera, so the 3D grasping and RTAB-Map lessons need the Standard kit or above. Hiwonder rates the battery at about an hour, and there is no charging dock.
