Product overview
About Galbot S1
Galbot S1 is a wheeled, dual-arm heavy-duty robot from Galbot (ιΆζ²³ιη¨), a Beijing embodied-AI company. Galbot launched it on 18 January 2026 for industrial, warehouse and logistics work. The official page describes a four-wheel-steering omnidirectional chassis with a head, a chest section, two 7-DoF arms and a lift.
Galbot's marketing page advertises a maximum 50 kg payload with both arms. Its current S1 2.0 technical guide instead specifies 15 kg per arm and 30 kg total rated payload, so both official figures are disclosed. The robot has a 1.5 m/s maximum speed, 2,390 mm vertical reach, NVIDIA AGX Orin 64GB compute and camera, LiDAR and force sensing. Two 48 V, 30 Ah batteries support hot-swapping, an eight-hour laboratory runtime and two-hour per-battery charging.
CATL reported in June 2026 that the S1 was operating on its production lines for material handling and picking in module and battery-pack manufacturing. The official product page links to a JD.com purchase listing but shows no price, so this entry records no headline price.
