Current evidence comparison for Galbot G1 and MagicLab MagicBot Gen1.
Galbot G1
Galbot
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
MagicLab MagicBot Gen1
MagicLab
MagicBot Gen1 is MagicLab's full-size electric humanoid (174 cm, approx 70 kg, 42 active DoF) with optional 11-DoF tactile hands, 3D LiDAR, depth and fisheye vision, and an 8-core CPU + 100 TOPS AI processor. MagicLab lists contact sales and 3-5 hours runtime with 7.5 kg single-arm load. Secondary sources report MagicLab released December 2024 footage of multiple Gen1 robots doing inspection, material handling, assembly and barcode scanning at an unnamed electronics factory, with a researcher saying the robots were still in skill training with human oversight. No named customer or output metrics were found, and third-party resale prices conflict ($119,800-$218,000)
