Galbot

A Beijing embodied-AI company founded by PKU's He Wang, building wheeled humanoid robots and embodied foundation models.

Galbot was founded in Beijing in May 2023; founder He Wang holds a Stanford PhD and teaches at Peking University's School of Computer Science, with a long research background in robot grasping and manipulation. Its main products are the wheeled dual-arm humanoid Galbot G1 and the industrial heavy-payload variant S1, with a bipedal robot, ET1, added in August 2026. On models, it has released the grasping model GraspVLA and the navigation model NavFoM, and refers to its overall embodied-model stack as AstraBrain, notable for training heavily on simulated synthetic data. Its robots are already deployed at a CATL factory, in pharmacies, and in unstaffed retail stores, and it appeared on China Central Television's 2026 Spring Festival Gala. In March 2026 it raised RMB 2.5 billion, with investors including the National Artificial Intelligence Industry Investment Fund; it has reportedly raised about RMB 7 billion cumulatively at a valuation above RMB 20 billion and is preparing a Hong Kong listing.

ExampleAt a smart pharmacy run with Meituan Grocery in Beijing, a single Galbot manages more than 5,000 medicines across roughly 40 square meters of floor space, pulling items off the shelf by order with, the company says, no teleoperation involved.
