About

About Galbot G1

Galbot G1 is a wheeled dual-arm robot for retail, warehouse and industrial handling. An omnidirectional base, lifting body and seven-axis arms let it move between work areas and reach shelves at different heights. The platform can be configured with dexterous hands, suction tools or grippers, with a stated five-kilogram payload per arm and ten kilograms combined.

Galbot's AstraBrain software connects perception, decision-making and physical action. Head and wrist cameras, wrist force sensors and base-mounted lidar support object handling and navigation. Galbot offers G1 commercially, with applications including picking and delivering retail products, replenishment, inventory and industrial material handling. The robot has also been used for medicine retrieval and packing in a Beijing pharmacy; task performance and operating scale remain specific to the installed application.
