Unlikely, the NAO Robots have been around since 2008 and they still cost quite a lot of money. The hardware on these things is pretty impressive, and since it's more of a platform for R&D then a general product, the demand for them will be constrained to University research labs and R&D groups at companies able to afford the like $100k+ price tag, so they'll never be mass produced. The same situation exists with the NAO robots.
