$55,000PilotGalbot S1 (Jan 2026): heavy-duty wheeled industrial humanoid. Continuous 50 kg dual-arm payload, 7-DoF arms, 1050 mm reach, 1.5 m/s omnidirectional base, 3×40-line LiDAR. 8 h + auto dual-battery swap. CATL deployment.
Galbot S1 is the industrial flagship of Beijing-based Galbot Robotics (alongside the consumer-retail G1) — engineered for demanding manufacturing environments. Galbot announced it in January 2026, headlining a "shattered payload limit" of 50 kg continuous dual-arm — well above the typical 20-25 kg ceiling for humanoid platforms in that class (robohorizon.com).
The wheeled chassis hits 1.5 m/s omnidirectional with 360° avoidance from three 40-line LiDARs; 7-DoF arms have a 1050 mm reach. 8-hour endurance plus autonomous dual-battery quick-swap enables 24/7 operation. The proprietary embodied-AI stack is trained Sim2Real for dexterous manipulation under dust, vibration and variable lighting. Reported deployment: CATL production lines for heavy-duty assembly tasks.
