Galbot is a Beijing embodied-AI company co-founded by PKU professor Wang He, championing wheeled-base dual-arm general manipulation, the most research-driven team in the Chinese scene.
Founded 2023 by Wang He (PKU assistant professor, known for GraspNet and World Models research). Multiple rounds raised (hundreds of millions RMB per public reports). Academic pedigree is the brand: research-driven rather than engineering-driven.
Galbot G1, a wheeled dual-arm robot for pick-and-place tasks (retail, kitting, sorting), with vision-language-model-driven grasping grounded in the lab's GraspNet/World Models lineage; real-scene + synthetic data. Pilots in retail picking.
The standard-bearer of the "wheeled is enough and faster" thesis versus humanoid-first rivals (AGIBOT, UBTECH). Investor watchpoint: speed of ROI in real commercial settings.
