About Astribot
Astribot develops humanoid robots and software-hardware systems for physical-AI research and manipulation.
Astribot S1 is a 170 cm humanoid research platform with two seven-degree-of-freedom arms, a stated 5 kg horizontal payload per arm and an open development toolchain. The company supports APIs, simulation, visual development, data collection, teleoperation and model deployment around the robot. Current official evidence is strongest for research and enterprise development, not deployed household service.

Research
- Astribot releases SmoothRL for online learning on S1
2026-09-04 - Research Publication - SmoothRL separates committed, executed and discarded actions so policy gradients use only actions that physically ran. After 250 episodes on S1, reported success reached 94% for dynamic tossing, 83% for pen capping and 90% for box opening. The training loop supports VR takeover and residual joystick correction while the robot continues operating.
Source - Astribot publishes Lumo-2 world-action model research
2026-07-13 - Research Publication - The report introduces a latent world-action model that reasons over world dynamics in latent space before generating robot actions. Astribot says Lumo-2 improves over Lumo-1 through predictive latent dynamics, progressive modality pre-alignment and broader multi-source data scaling. The official research page highlights real-world evaluations covering temporal reasoning, physical understanding, long-horizon tasks and dexterous manipulation.
Source - Astribot publishes Lumo-1 research paper on embodied reasoning and robotic control
2025-12-09 - Research Publication - Astribot researchers published the Lumo-1 paper describing a generalist vision-language-action model that unifies robot reasoning with robot action. The paper details a three-stage training pipeline spanning embodied reasoning, cross-embodiment robot data, and action training on Astribot S1 trajectories. This is the cleanest research-release event for Astribot because it is tied to a dated public paper rather than undated company copy.

TouKong Donghai led the round; Hongtai Fund, the Ninghai Xingtaihe Fund managed by Guanghua Sunshine, Shanheng Capital and returning investor Xianmu participated. The capital will support model iteration, hiring, commercialization and production-capacity development. June’s earlier B-series financing announcement disclosed more than RMB1 billion across multiple financings.

Astribot announced completion of a Series B financing series, saying it had completed three financings within roughly three months. The company said cumulative Series B financing exceeded RMB 1 billion and valuation surpassed RMB 10 billion. Reported investors included Liangxi Sci-Tech Innovation Phase II Parent Fund, Bohua Capital, Yangzhou Longtou Chiplet, Zhongbo Juli, ThunderSoft, Kede Education, an unnamed listed company and returning investor Guoke Investment.

Astribot announced that T1 is available from CNY 89,900, approximately $13,165 in the launch post. The company describes T1 as cable-driven with human-like dexterity and customizable AI computing. Astribot positions T1 as a multi-scenario service-robot platform for VLA and manipulation applications.

Astribot introduced Lumo-1 as a generalist vision-language-action model designed to connect robot reasoning with robot action. The official research page and paper describe a three-stage training pipeline combining embodied reasoning, cross-embodiment robot data, and action training on Astribot S1 trajectories. This is the most important software-side company event because it turns Astribot from a hardware demo story into a stronger embodied-intelligence platform story.

Astribot publicly introduced Astribot S1 as its next-generation AI robot assistant with a focus on speed, dexterity, and precision. The launch established Astribot's company-defining humanoid platform and moved the firm from stealth into public embodied-robot positioning. This is the clearest early product milestone for the company before its later embodied-reasoning model work.
