Galbot G1 vs Kepler K2 Bumblebee

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

Kepler K2 Bumblebee is a commercial industrial humanoid from Shanghai. It is 175 cm, 75 kg, 52 DoF, with 11-DoF hands, a hybrid roller-screw/rotary actuator design, 100 TOPS compute, and a claimed 30 kg dual-arm payload and 8-hour runtime on a one-hour charge. Kepler lists a $30,000 base price or RMB 248,000 and announced mass production and shipments in September 2025. The most concrete positive evidence is a company-described gait video showing the robot walking over bricks, plastic and grass and remaining stable under pushes. Commercial proof is limited: confirmed orders of over 47 million yuan are reported, and an official video title suggests a Zhaofeng Motor on-the-job log, but 2025 revenue was only 4.34 million yuan with heavy losses and the company was acquired at a lower valuation. Autonomy, endurance and manipulation claims are mostly company statements without independent verification; many demo videos are title-only with no teleoperation disclosure
