Galbot G1 Review: Specs and Uses of the Wheeled Dual-Arm Humanoid Robot
Updated: 7 days ago
The Galbot G1 is a humanoid robot with two arms on a wheeled base, from the Chinese maker Galbot. The manufacturer does not publish a price. This review covers its specifications, design and uses.
Quick Verdict
The G1 takes the practical route to a humanoid: arms, torso and head on wheels. Without legs to balance it can work a full eight-hour shift on one charge and stay stable while reaching. A folding lower body gives a vertical reach from the floor to 2.1 m, so it can pick from the bottom and top of a shelf. Each arm has seven axes and carries 5 kg. It runs on an NVIDIA AGX Orin and is rated IP54. It cannot climb stairs, and at 92.5 kg it is heavy.
