About
About Astribot T1
Astribot T1 is a cable-driven wheeled humanoid for manipulation, interaction and application development. Astribot designs the robot together with its Lumo AI models and embodied operating system. The body stands approximately 1.55 metres tall, has 23 degrees of freedom excluding end effectors, and supports a rated five-kilogram payload per arm. Modular end effectors, computing modules and sensors allow different development configurations.
With the Lumo-2 base model, T1 has demonstrated autonomously tidying miscellaneous objects into a backpack, including handling deformable items. Developers can access joint control, Cartesian motion, whole-body coordination and sensor data through SDKs and APIs. Astribot OS adds skill libraries and application tools; teams used T1 for short application-development projects at the September 2026 hackathon. Further household behaviours remain dependent on additional training.
