Astribot S1 vs Galbot G1

Astribot S1 is a China-built wheeled humanoid upper-body robot with official specs of 170 cm, 80 kg, 5 kg per-arm payload, end-effector speed >=10 m/s, acceleration about 100 m/s^2, repeatability +/-0.1 mm, and 4-6 hours runtime. It uses cable-driven arms and is sold B2B by quote, with no public price. BigGo Finance reports a 15 billion yuan valuation, 10,000-unit S and T production capacity, and customers including Golden Horse, ThunderSoft, JD.com, and Robot MART stores across six Chinese cities. Secondary reviews describe cooking, food prep, cleaning, calligraphy, and other demos, and report Astribot Suite task success rates of 80-100 percent. Autonomy is claimed but not independently audited, S1 has no bipedal walking speed, and no S1-specific deployment output metrics are published

Galbot G1 is a 173 cm, 92.5 kg wheeled humanoid mobile manipulator from China with official specs: 5 kg per arm / 10 kg total payload, 8-hour lab runtime, 48 V 30 Ah battery, 1.5 m/s wheeled speed, 21 DoF excluding end effector, NVIDIA AGX Orin 64GB 275 TOPS, and IP54. Galbot claims full autonomy and scaled commercial deployment across retail, warehousing, healthcare, and industry. The strongest named deployment is a Beijing pharmacy that received a medicinal-distribution permit, making G1 the first certified robot pharmacy assistant; Galbot also reports 170+ Space Cabin kiosks and 24/7 warehouse operations. However, industrial partner names are orders not confirmed deployments, no official price or consumer channel exists, and on-the-ground reports show limited autonomy breadth with chip-bag grasp failures. G1 is wheeled, not legged, and no independent benchmark or intervention log is available
