Galaxy Bot

What Galaxy Bot does

Galaxy Bot (Galbot, 银河通用机器人) is a Beijing-based humanoid robotics company founded in 2023 by Tsinghua-Stanford educated professor Wang He. The company designs and manufactures mobile dual-arm humanoid robots, including the Galbot G1 (a configurable platform with adjustable height, arm span, torso lift, and reach) and the Galbot S1 (an industrial deployment variant). Its core technology is AstraBrain, described as the world's first end-to-end embodied foundation model integrating brain, cerebellum, and neural control architecture, which enables generalizable manipulation across heterogeneous environments without per-task reprogramming.

The company targets four primary verticals: industrial manufacturing (automated spare parts sorting, palletizing, assembly, and loading/unloading for automotive and battery customers such as CATL, SAIC, BAIC, Toyota, and Hyundai); commercial and retail (24/7 precision picking, delivery, and inventory restocking); healthcare (medication delivery, inventory management, and diagnostic assistance for hospitals including Xuanwu Hospital and West China Hospital); and home service (cleaning, organizing, fetching, package handling). Revenue is generated primarily through direct hardware sales of humanoid robots to enterprise and industrial customers via a field sales motion, supplemented by a professional services stream through a joint venture with Youlife Group Inc. for robotics-focused vocational training. Pricing is not publicly disclosed.

Distribution combines direct enterprise sales with embedded OEM-style partnerships, including collaborations with global Tier 1 automotive suppliers Bosch (via the Boyin Hechuang joint venture), Schaeffler, Valeo, and Aptiv. Galbot maintains engineering and operational offices in Beijing (headquarters), Shenzhen, and Suzhou, with 51-100 employees. The company has raised cumulative funding exceeding USD 3 billion across six disclosed rounds within 36 months of founding, achieving a valuation above RMB 20 billion in its March 2026 financing, and is preparing for a Hong Kong Stock Exchange listing.
