Galbot

The world's most rigorous robot test is not a laboratory; it is a till. Galbot, formally Beijing Galaxy General Robot Co., is the company that volunteered for it: its G1 wheeled humanoid staffs the world's first robot run convenience stores, alone, around the clock, serving thousands of customers a day, and by late 2025 the Galbot Store concept had spread across more than 30 Chinese cities. Every shift is an audit no demonstration video survives: the robot must recognise whatever product a stranger names, retrieve it from real shelves, complete the transaction and answer the follow up question, with zero shot generalisation across an inventory running from snacks to pharmaceuticals. The same machine sorts and dispenses medications 24 hours a day in more than ten unmanned Beijing pharmacies, and when the 2025 World Humanoid Robot Games staged its Pharmaceutical Sorting Challenge, the G1 took gold by scanning six tall shelves, identifying nine specific medications among hundreds and delivering them in just over ten minutes, accuracy validated where dispensing errors carry real consequences.

The machine behind the shopfront is engineered for exactly this commerce. The G1 stands 173 centimetres and 85 kilogrammes on an omnidirectional wheeled base, chosen deliberately over legs for the stability and efficiency flat commercial floors reward, and works through 47 degrees of freedom: dual 7 degree of freedom arms spanning 190 centimetres, 12 degree of freedom dexterous hands, and a 65 centimetre torso lift stretching reach from floor level to 240 centimetres, the full height of retail shelving. It grasps at a 95 to 97 per cent success rate across more than 5,000 object types, runs ten hours per charge, deploys into a new store in a single day, and carries its retail intelligence in GroceryVLA, Galbot's own vision language action model, with industrial postings at CATL, Bosch, Toyota, Hyundai and major Chinese automotive lines, thousands of units on order, proving the same hands in manufacturing.

Background

Commerce as the curriculum

Galbot's strategic insight was choosing retail as its training ground rather than its reward. A shop compresses everything hard about general purpose robotics, thousands of visually similar products, ambiguous requests, continuous customer interaction, no engineer standing by, into a business that pays for its own data. Each of the millions of transactions across the Store network teaches the fleet, the deployment flywheel that turned a Beijing art park novelty into infrastructure across 30 cities, and the operational record, over a year of continuous warehouse duty among it, that prototype stage rivals cannot match.

Wheels by argument, not compromise

The G1's base is a position: in the stores, pharmacies, hospitals and factories where it works, floors are flat and uptime is money, so omnidirectional wheels deliver the stability, energy economics and reliability that bipedal balance spends its margin maintaining, while the human proportioned upper body, arms, hands and lifting torso, keeps every shelf and workstation built for people within reach.

The Galbot Range

Galbot G1

The G1 is the company's proven instrument: 173 centimetres and 85 kilogrammes, 47 degrees of freedom across dual 7 degree of freedom arms, 12 degree of freedom hands and the lifting torso that sweeps its workspace from the floor to 240 centimetres. Multi modal perception fuses vision and tactile sensing into manipulation that holds 95 to 97 per cent grasp success over 5,000 plus object types with zero shot generalisation to products it has never seen, voice interaction handles customer requests, and connectivity spans WiFi, Ethernet, USB and cloud integration for fleet operation. Ten hours of runtime cover a working day, and one day deployment makes fleet economics arithmetic rather than aspiration.

Galbot Store and the Deployment Stack

The Store is the product surrounding the robot: a fully autonomous retail format in which the G1 identifies products, retrieves orders, processes transactions and fields enquiries without staff, packaged with the GroceryVLA model and deployment tooling that install into a new location within a day, the format now operating across more than 30 cities and extending into the unmanned pharmacy network's regulated, safety critical retail.

Which buyers does Galbot suit?

Galbot sells on operational evidence. Retail operators take the G1 and Store stack for unmanned and extended hours formats across retail and commercial robotics, on the only humanoid with a till record. Pharmacy chains and hospitals take the medication grade accuracy proven in Beijing's unmanned pharmacies and the Xuanwu Hospital collaboration across health care and hospital robotics. Manufacturers take the production line pedigree earned at CATL, Bosch, Toyota and Hyundai across industrial robotics, warehouse operators take the year plus of continuous duty across warehouse and logistics robotics, and research groups take the G1 as the reference platform for deployed manipulation at scale across research robotics, with mission software from the robot software catalogue completing deployments.

Technology

Grasping generalised

The G1's headline statistic, 95 to 97 per cent success across 5,000 plus object types, rests on Galaxy General's synthetic data doctrine: manipulation trained at massive simulated scale then transferred to hardware, giving the fleet zero shot competence on products it meets for the first time, the capability a convenience store exercises hundreds of times a day and a pharmacy cannot function without.

Reach engineered for shelving

The 65 centimetre torso lift is retail's dimension made mechanical: combined with the 190 centimetre arm span it sweeps a workspace from floor stock to 240 centimetre top shelves without ladders, repositioning or special fixtures, one machine covering the vertical geometry every store, stockroom and pharmacy shares.

GroceryVLA and the fleet mind

Galbot's vision language action model turns natural requests into retrieval: understanding product names, matching them against shelf perception, planning grasps and sequencing service, with cloud integration carrying learning across the fleet, so every store's transactions sharpen every other's, intelligence compounding at network scale.

Endurance as economics

Ten hour runtime, one day deployment and wheeled reliability were chosen as unit economics: a robot that works a full shift, installs over a weekend and avoids the maintenance appetite of balance is a robot whose business case closes, the arithmetic behind thousands of units on order.

Why did Galbot choose wheels over legs?

As deployment engineering: on the flat floors of stores, pharmacies, factories and warehouses, an omnidirectional base delivers superior stability, energy efficiency and reliability, whilst the human proportioned upper body with its lifting torso preserves full access to shelving and workstations built for people.

What are the benefits of Galbot robots?

Key benefits include the category's deepest customer facing operational record, grasp generalisation proven on live inventories, floor to 240 centimetre reach matched to real shelving, ten hour endurance with one day installation, medication grade accuracy validated by competition gold and regulated pharmacy duty, and industrial credibility at marquee manufacturers.

Has the G1's accuracy been independently tested?

Publicly and competitively: at the 2025 World Humanoid Robot Games the G1 won gold in the Robot Skills Competition's Pharmaceutical Sorting Challenge, autonomously scanning six shelves, identifying nine specified medications among hundreds and delivering them in just over ten minutes.

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

Galbot robots are for sale through Robots Europa, serving the United Kingdom, the European Union and markets worldwide with delivery, customs clearance and support. Because cost varies by configuration and deployment, buyers should request a tailored quotation. Full purchasing details are available on this page.

Summary

Galbot is the humanoid industry's rarest asset: evidence. While the category rehearsed, the G1 took a job, staffing the world's first robot run stores across 30 cities, dispensing real medications through the night, holding down production lines for CATL, Bosch, Toyota and Hyundai, and collecting competition gold for the accuracy its pharmacies bet on daily. The machine is built for its work, 240 centimetres of shelf reach, 5,000 object fluency, ten hour shifts, one day installation, and every transaction teaches the fleet. As the deployed proof of commercial humanoid robotics, Galbot stands where the demo ends and the shift begins, and this page as the European starting point for hiring it.
