Galbot

Summary

About

About Galbot

Galbot develops two wheeled dual-arm robot platforms for manipulation and mobile work. The G1 combines an omnidirectional base, lifting torso, interchangeable end effectors and multimodal perception for retail, service, research and light-industrial tasks. The larger S1 is designed for industrial handling, loading, picking and pallet workflows, using two seven-axis arms, a 750-millimetre lift and a four-wheel omnidirectional chassis.

S1 carries 15 kilograms per arm, 30 kilograms in total, and uses an NVIDIA AGX Orin compute module with stereo and depth cameras plus several 3D lidar units. Galbot's shared SDK exposes Python and C++ interfaces for joint and end-effector control, motion planning, navigation, mapping, sensor access and system safety. Developers can run applications on the robot or from a connected computer and use URDF, MJCF and USD descriptions for simulation and integration.
