Galaxea

Some robots are demonstrations; Galaxea builds instruments. The company behind the R1 family, known as Galaxea AI and Galaxea Dynamics and in Chinese as 星海图, approaches humanoid robotics the way scientific equipment makers approach theirs: repeatability stated in millimetres, interfaces documented to the joint, degrees of freedom itemised honestly, and the entire stack, hardware, teleoperation, learning based control and open datasets, engineered as one coherent research apparatus rather than assembled around a highlight reel. The result is a range that laboratories select by citation: academic work on whole body household manipulation has chosen the R1 platform precisely for the properties Galaxea specifies, bimanual coordination, stable navigation and end effector reachability, the quiet endorsement of machines bought to produce results.

The instrument's defining measurement is its workspace. The R1 series' dual arm wheeled humanoids operate vertically from the floor to roughly 2 metres across a 700 millimetre horizontal radius, an envelope reaching ground level bins and top shelves in the same posture, built from Galaxea's own component families: the lightweight, force controlled A series arms, G series grippers, a 4 degree of freedom torso and omnidirectional vector steering chassis, with NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin computing at 200 TOPS across the range. The R1 Pro leads with 26 degrees of freedom, dual 7 axis arms lifting 10 kilogrammes each at ±0.5 millimetre repeatability and a seven camera, 360 degree LiDAR perception suite; the standard R1 carries the platform at 24 degrees of freedom; and the R1 Lite opens it to every laboratory's budget.

Background

Built the way research works

Modern embodied AI runs a loop, demonstrate, collect, train, deploy, and most hardware serves only its final step. Galaxea engineered for the whole cycle: the R1-T teleoperation platform and VR workflows capture demonstrations, documented ROS 2 interfaces carry them into training stacks, learning based control returns policies to the same hardware, and open datasets extend the loop to the community, a full stack in which the robot is the laboratory's most cooperative colleague rather than its most temperamental one.

Honest numbers as brand

Galaxea's documentation habit is its differentiator: degrees of freedom counted transparently, arm versus arm plus gripper chains distinguished explicitly, workspace stated in metres and millimetres, gripper forces rated and peaked separately, so that integration plans survive contact with the hardware, the specification culture of a company whose customers publish their results.

The Galaxea Range

Galaxea R1 Pro

The R1 Pro is the flagship instrument: 26 degrees of freedom combining dual 7 axis arms, each carrying 10 kilogrammes with an 86 centimetre gripper equipped radius, the articulated torso and a 6 degree of freedom omnidirectional chassis, manipulating at ±0.5 millimetre repeatability through force controlled parallel grippers spanning 0 to 100 millimetres at 150 newtons rated and 350 peak. Perception runs seven HD cameras, wrist cameras, 360 degree LiDAR and integrated force sensing into the Jetson AGX Orin's 200 TOPS, with VR teleoperation for demonstration capture, the configuration for laboratories running the complete embodied AI loop at full fidelity.

Galaxea R1

The standard R1 carries the platform's defining geometry, floor to 2 metre vertical range, 700 millimetre working radius, at 24 degrees of freedom: two Galaxea A1 six axis arms on the 4 degree of freedom torso and omnidirectional base, with the multi camera and LiDAR sensing and 200 TOPS compute of the family, the balanced mobile manipulator for research and prototyping across benches, carts, shelves and floor level work.

Galaxea R1 Lite

The R1 Lite is the accessible entry: a metre and a quarter class machine pairing dual A1X arms with G1 grippers, six documented degrees of freedom per arm plus one per gripper, on the same 360 degree omnidirectional chassis discipline, sensed by cameras, inertial units and LiDAR, and documented to interface level, joint, pose, gripper, torso and chassis, against ROS 2 Humble environments, the platform that brings genuine dual arm mobile manipulation into teaching laboratories and early stage teams.

Components and the Data Layer

Around the humanoids sit the parts and the pipeline: A series arms, the A1 and A1X, sold as lightweight, high dynamic, force controlled manipulators in their own right within the robot arms catalogue, G series grippers, and the R1-T teleoperation platform feeding demonstration data into the training loop, with Galaxea's open datasets and ROS 2 stacks binding hardware to research community.

Range Overview

Figures follow published specifications; configurations vary by edition and are confirmed at quotation.

Which buyers does Galaxea suit?

Galaxea sells to the loop's practitioners. Embodied AI laboratories take the R1 Pro's fidelity for manipulation research across research robotics, the platform their literature already cites. University programmes take the R1 Lite's documentation and economics across educational robotics, industrial innovation teams take the standard R1's floor to shelf envelope for warehouse and service prototyping across industrial and logistics robotics, data teams take the R1-T and VR workflows for demonstration production, and integrators take the A series arms and G series grippers as components within the robot arms catalogue, with mission software from the robot software catalogue completing deployments.

Technology

The envelope as thesis

Galaxea's floor to 2 metre vertical range with 700 millimetre radius is a position on how mobile manipulation fails: not in grasping, but in reaching, the bottom bin, the top shelf, the cart across the room. By covering human environments' full vertical span from an omnidirectional base that repositions in centimetres, the R1 family removes the repositioning choreography that consumes other platforms' cycle times.

Force where fingers meet the world

The family's manipulation is force controlled end to end: A series arms specified for high dynamics with compliance, parallel grippers rating 150 newtons and peaking at 350 across a 0 to 100 millimetre span, wrist cameras and integrated force sensing closing the loop, the contact richness that household and industrial manipulation research actually trains on.

Compute sized for policies

Jetson AGX Orin at 200 TOPS across the range keeps modern perception and learned control onboard: multi camera vision, 360 degree LiDAR fusion, navigation and policy inference running locally, so experiments deploy where they trained and demonstrations record at the fidelity models need.

Documentation as engineering

The R1 Lite's interface level documentation, joints, poses, grippers, torso, chassis, against ROS 2 Humble, and the family's transparent freedom counting, turn integration from archaeology into reading, the property that shortens every project's first month and explains the platform's academic adoption.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Galaxea?

Galaxea, known as Galaxea AI and Galaxea Dynamics, is a full stack embodied AI company: maker of the R1 series of dual arm wheeled humanoids, the A series force controlled arms, G series grippers and the R1-T teleoperation platform, unified by open datasets, ROS 2 stacks and learning based control.

How do Galaxea R1 robots work?

They manipulate through dual force controlled arms across a workspace spanning the floor to 2 metres, reposition on omnidirectional chassis, perceive through multi camera and 360 degree LiDAR suites, compute policies on 200 TOPS Jetson AGX Orin, and learn through a loop of VR and R1-T teleoperated demonstration, training and onboard deployment.

What is the difference between the R1 Pro, R1 and R1 Lite?

The R1 Pro leads with 26 degrees of freedom, dual 7 axis, 10 kilogramme arms, ±0.5 millimetre repeatability and seven camera perception; the standard R1 carries 24 degrees of freedom on dual A1 arms; and the R1 Lite pairs A1X arms and G1 grippers with full interface documentation at entry economics.

Why do research laboratories choose Galaxea?

Because the platform is specified like an instrument: honest freedom counts, stated repeatability, documented interfaces and an envelope covering human environments' full vertical span, properties academic work on whole body household manipulation has explicitly selected the R1 family for.

What are the benefits of Galaxea robots?

Key benefits include the floor to 2 metre workspace that removes repositioning choreography, force controlled manipulation with rated and peak gripper figures, 200 TOPS onboard compute across the range, a complete demonstration to deployment data loop, interface level documentation and open datasets binding the platform to its research community.

Does Galaxea sell components separately?

Yes: the A series arms, the A1 and A1X, and G series grippers are available as force controlled components for custom systems, and the R1-T teleoperation platform serves data collection programmes, the same families from which the R1 humanoids are built.

Where can I buy Galaxea robots and what do they cost?

Galaxea robots are for sale through Robots Europa, serving the United Kingdom, the European Union and markets worldwide with delivery, customs clearance and support.

Summary

Galaxea is embodied AI treated with laboratory discipline: a family of dual arm wheeled humanoids whose defining numbers, floor to 2 metres, 700 millimetres of radius, ±0.5 millimetres of repeatability, 200 TOPS onboard, are stated plainly, documented to the joint and proven by the academic groups who cite the platform in their methods sections. The R1 Pro runs the full loop at fidelity, the R1 balances it, the R1 Lite opens it, and the A series arms, G series grippers, R1-T teleoperation and open datasets complete an apparatus built for the way research actually proceeds. As the instrument maker of wheeled humanoid robotics, Galaxea stands where results matter more than reels, and this page as the European starting point for equipping the work.
