北京银河通用机器人股份有限公司

01 / Company
What this company supplies
An AI-first robot developer
Galbot describes itself as a general-purpose robotics company built around embodied foundation models. Its AstraBrain models handle perception, planning and motor control, trained largely in simulation before running on real robots. The company says its G1 and S1 robots are in commercial use in retail, manufacturing and healthcare. On a factory floor, tasks are taught and changed partly through these models, so plan how new items and layouts will be introduced. [S1]
Which Galbot entity you are dealing with
The registered company is 北京银河通用机器人股份有限公司. The website terms refer to Beijing Galbot Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries and affiliates, under Beijing jurisdiction. Name the legal entity that sells, delivers and supports the robot in your contract. [S2]

A range with distinct purchasing tasks
Galbot S1 for heavy handling
S1 is presented as built for industrial applications. It has two 7-axis arms with a combined payload of up to 50 kg, a 750 mm lift, a wrist workspace of 0–2,400 mm horizontally and 2,390 mm vertically, and a 730 × 730 mm four-wheel omnidirectional chassis with a top speed of 1.5 m/s. Total weight is 320 kg. [S3]
Sensors and computing
The specification lists a binocular camera and a 3D LiDAR in the head, two depth cameras and two six-axis force sensors in the chest, and two 3D LiDARs in the chassis, with an NVIDIA AGX Orin 64 GB computer. A seven-degree-of-freedom three-finger gripper with a reversible thumb is described for heavier grasps. [S3]
Power for continuous shifts
S1 carries two 48 V 30 Ah batteries, lists 8 hours per charge and 2 hours charging, and supports hot-swapping. The product page also describes batteries in the chassis that can be swapped autonomously at modular stations. Ask which of these is included in the quoted configuration. [S3]
Published in this directory
Start the technical discussion from the product families below, and ask for the data sheet of the exact model you want to compare.
S1 figures that shape a cell layout [S3]
| Item | Published statement | Detail to keep with it |
|---|---|---|
| Payload and reach | Up to 50 kg on both arms; wrist reach 0–2,400 mm horizontal, 2,390 mm vertical | Check one-arm payload and payload at full extension. |
| Footprint and travel | 730 × 730 mm chassis; up to 1.5 m/s; 320 kg | Aisle width, floor loading and speed limits near people. |
| Perception | Head stereo camera and 3D LiDAR, chest depth cameras, chassis LiDARs | Lighting, reflective packaging and changing layouts in trials. |
| Energy | 2 × 48 V 30 Ah, 8 h per charge, hot-swap | Number of swap stations and spare batteries per shift. |
| Environment | 0–40 °C, 0–90% RH non-condensing | Cold stores, dust and wash-down areas are outside this range or unstated. |
Galbot does not list pick rates or success rates for S1, so measure throughput in a trial on your own items.
03 / Technical scope
What to test before an AI-driven robot joins a line
Define the task and its limits
The page names stacking, depalletizing, loading and unloading from floor to high shelving. Write down the objects, weights, positions and the success criteria for each. A 50 kg dual-arm payload applies to the arms together; check the payload for one-arm grasps and at full reach. [S3]
Find out how tasks are taught and changed
With behaviour driven by learned models, ask how a new item or layout is introduced, how long it takes, who does it and how a change is validated before production. Ask how the robot reports low confidence and what it does when it cannot complete a pick. [S1] [S3]
Plan the safety case for people nearby
S1 is a mobile robot with arms and a lift moving among people and equipment. The specification lists a wireless emergency stop and on-body stop button. A site risk assessment should cover arm motion while driving, falling loads from height and how speed and force are limited near people; request the applicable standards and test reports for the delivered configuration. [S3]
Integrate with site systems
Connectivity listed is Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Ethernet and USB, and a developer site supports secondary development. Ask how S1 receives tasks from a WMS or line control system, and what logging is available for traceability. [S3]
04 / Quality
Certifications and quality
Safety documents to request
The S1 specification lists a wireless emergency stop and an on-body stop button. Ask Galbot which machinery and mobile-robot safety standards the delivered robot meets, and for the risk-assessment basis and any third-party test reports. [S3]
Technology background
Galbot lists models such as AstraBrain, GraspVLA and NavFoM and academic awards for its work on grasping, navigation and whole-body control. For a production pilot, ask for performance data on tasks close to yours. [S1]
Service and spare parts
Galbot was founded in 2023. Ask about spare-parts stock, service response in your region, software update policy and how long the S1 configuration will be supported. [S1]
Before ordering, ask the company to send the certificates and test reports that apply to your configuration. How these profiles are compiled.
05 / Project fit
Where to start the technical discussion
Typical projects matched to the supply scope above, with the first questions to settle for each.
Heavy picking and placing in a warehouse
The floor-to-2.3 m reach and 50 kg payload address shelf picking and stacking where items vary. Compare with a fixed palletizing robot or a forklift for single-SKU, high-volume flows. [S3]
Line-side material transfer
Where parts move between carts, racks and machines in changing positions, a mobile dual-arm robot can do work a fixed arm cannot reach. Define the stations and the required cycle time before a trial. [S3]
Turn the supply scope into a project handover
The documents and checks to agree with this company at each stage of delivery.
Pilot scope
Agreed item set, stations and success definition before installation.
Measured trial
Success rate, cycle time and recovery from failed picks over a set run.
Safety check
Risk assessment, stop functions and speed limits verified on site.
Operation handover
Task-change procedure, logs, software version and support contacts.

Common buyer questions
Is Galbot S1 a humanoid?
S1 has two arms, a head and a lift on a wheeled chassis. It drives on a four-wheel omnidirectional base and does not walk.
Is the 50 kg payload per arm?
Galbot states dual arms up to 50 kg. Ask for the single-arm limit and the payload at full reach.
How fast does S1 pick?
Galbot does not list pick rates. Run a trial on your own items to measure throughput.
