Galbot G1

Overview

A Beijing embodied AI company. It launched the G1 wheeled dual-arm robot in June 2024 and the heavy-duty S1 in January 2026, and opened pre-orders for the small ET1 humanoid in September 2026, giving it three models. G1 units run unattended "Galaxy Space Capsule" kiosks at more than 170 sites in over 40 cities, and one works around the clock as China's first pharmacy robot in Beijing. Galbot raised RMB 2.5 billion in March 2026; reports put its valuation above RMB 20 billion and its three-year funding at about RMB 7 billion. Press reports say G1 shipped over 1,200 units in 2025 and name CATL, Bosch, Toyota, BAIC and SAIC as customers; official shipment figures are not confirmed. A Hong Kong IPO is reportedly in preparation. In Japan, BigHandz handles deployment, implementation and technical support.

Strengths

  • Many unattended retail and pharmacy deployments
  • Picking AI (AstraBrain) trained largely on synthetic data
  • G1 and S1 cover light picking up to 50 kg loads
  • A Japanese deployment and technical-support partner (BigHandz) and in-country testing
  • Service network via CATL-affiliated Ningjia Services, named its global service provider in June 2026
